Read MoreHide Full Article
Kinross Gold Corporation (KGC - Free Report) has been granted the right to acquire up to an undivided 70% interest in the Launi East Property, located southeast of Aurion Resources Ltd.’s 100%-owned Risti Property. This right has been granted in a formal definitive option agreement that Aurion Resources Ltd. has signed with KGC.
In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Kinross can acquire a 70% undivided stake in the Launi East Property by spending a minimum of $10 million on exploration on or before the deal’s seventh anniversary. Kinross has agreed to spend a minimum of $2 million on exploration on or before the second anniversary of the agreement, subject to receiving all necessary permits for a drilling program.
