Apogee Minerals (APMI.V) on Tuesday said it entered into an option agreement with Trident Resources (ROCK.V) to acquire a 100% interest in the Knife Lake Project in northeastern Saskatchewan, subject to underlying net smelter return royalties.
Apogee will pay Trident C$400,000 in cash, issue to Trident 7.4-million shares of the company plus shares having an aggregate value of C$700,000, and incur a minimum of C$1 million in exploration expenditures on the property, Apogee said.
The Knife Lake Project is an advanced-stage copper, silver, zinc, gold and cobalt exploration property. It hosts the Knife Lake Deposit, a near-surface, stratabound VMS-style deposit.
