Kapa Gold (KAPA) has signed an agreement to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Mastodon Nickel Project.
Mastodon Nickel Project is a large historic nickel project located in Southern British Columbia, east of Christina Lake, a 6.5 hours drive from Vancouver along the Canada-US border.
The property spans 2,118 hectares and contains several historic workings dating back to the turn of the 20th century.
In the 1970s, southern BC had a period of exploration by numerous companies focused on nickel-copper-cobalt-chromium mineralization. The Mastodon was identified as a potential large sulphide nickel zone and had a follow-up drill campaign undertaken by Chromex Mines.
Currently, the company is compiling all the available historic data and will report on the geological model and historic results with a recommendation to advance the project. Good road access exists throughout the project area.
Terms of the option agreement include an initial $25,000 deposit within 30 days of signing, 50,000 share issuance, and an expenditure of $150,000 in the first year. Thereafter annual share payments spread over 6 years will total an additional 1,150,000 shares.
Furthermore, property payments consist of 10 per cent of exploration expenditures, capped at $ 1 million, with no annual commitments on the work performed.
The acquisition provides Kapa with additional interest in strategic metals while also providing project diversification.
