AIS Resources (AIS) has been granted an option to acquire the Kingston Gold Project in north-western Victoria, Australia.
Under the terms of the agreement, AIS and ConnorCoote Mining, a joint venture between Owen Coote and Glenn Connor, have agreed to “use their best endeavours” to design and execute a sale and purchase deal by November 16, 2020.
Such an agreement would pertain to AIS Resources’ acquisition of the Kingston Gold Project, which is located near the town of Navarre and covers 167 square kilometres.

In addition to a non-refundable payment of approximately C$34,000, AIS will pay roughly $193,000 in cash for the acquisition and issue 4 million common shares and 4 million purchase warrants to ConnorCoote.
These warrants will be entitle the holders to acquire an additional common share in AIS at a price of $0.15, exercisable over a period of five years.
