VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 21, 2025 / Storm Exploration Inc. (TSXV:STRM) (the "Company") today announced that it is exercising its option to convert the upcoming cash installment payment of $275,000 into shares of the Company. The Company will issue a total 8,332,071 common shares at a deemed price of $0.033005 per share as payment due under the option agreement, as amended, with Landore Resources Canada Inc. (the "Option Agreement").
"Miminiska and Keezhik are district scale projects that have extensive, drill-confirmed high-grade gold endowment but are largely unexplored," commented Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Storm. "We look forward to advancing both properties beginning with the drill-ready Miminiska target, which has the potential to host a significant gold deposit."
The Option Agreement contemplates the Company's acquisition of a 100% interest in the Miminiska and Keezhik properties from Landore Resources Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Landore Resources Limited, subject to, amongst other things, scheduled payments. For further details with respect to the Option Agreement, please refer to the Company's news releases dated May 10, 2021, June 6, 2024, July 4, 2024 and August 19, 2024, available for viewing on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
About the Miminiska & Keezhik Projects
The Miminiska and Keezhik projects are located within the traditional territory of the Eabametoong First Nation with whom Storm signed an Exploration Agreement (see news release dated May 23rd, 2024: Storm Exploration and Eabametoong First Nation Sign Exploration Agreement). The projects lie within the prospective geology of the Miminiska-Fort Hope greenstone belt, approximately 350 kilometres north of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Each project has the potential to host a multi-million-ounce orogenic gold deposit.
The Miminiska property is the Company's primary focus and hosts drill-confirmed, high-grade gold mineralization at two primary prospects: Miminiska and Frond (refer to Figure 1). Historical assays include 5.75g/t Au over 20.84m* and 13.95g/t Au over 5.32m* with mineralization hosted in banded iron formation and associated shear zones.
Approximately 3,000m of drilling is planned for the Miminiska Target, which is located at the western end of Miminiska property. The goal of upcoming drill program is to confirm the target's potential by expanding and extending the known high-grade, near-surface gold mineralization.
