January 7, 2019 / Kingston, On. / Accesswire. Delta Resources Limited (“Delta” or the “Company”) (DLTA:TSX/V) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with the Ontario Exploration Corporation (the “OEC”) to buy back a Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) of up to 1% on its Delta-1 property in the Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The Delta-1 Property includes the recently drilled Eureka Gold prospect.
Under the terms of the agreement, Delta now has the exclusive right to purchase 50% of the OEC NSR at Delta-1 by paying the OEC the sum of $50,000 payable as follows:
- Payment of $15,000 before December 31st, 2019 (already paid)
- Payment of $35,000 before May 31st, 2021.
Once Delta exercises its right to buyback the first 50% of the OEC NSR, Delta shall have the right to purchase the second 50% tranche at anytime by paying the OEC an additional $50,000. Following the purchase of the second 50% tranche, Delta will have purchased the entire NSR Royalty currently owned by the OEC on the Eureka Property.
The OEC currently owns between 0.5% and 1.0% NSR royalty on certain claims of the Delta-1 property. More specifically, the OEC owns a 1.0% NSR on the claims covering the Eureka Gold prospect, Matawin and Kaspar gold occurrences and a 0.5% NSR on the claims surrounding the Kaspar occurrence.
“This was a very important part of the puzzle for Delta as we continue to invest in exploration at Delta-1” says André Tessier, President and CEO of Delta. “Delta would like to take the opportunity to thank the Ontario Prospector’s Association and the Ontario Exploration Corporation for facilitating this transaction”.
