Midland Enters Into Binding Term Sheet to Option Its Patris Gold Property to Barrick

 

 

 

 

 

Midland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to announce the signing of a binding term sheet with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation whereby Barrick will have the right to earn into Midland’s wholly-owned Patris gold property, located approximately 30 kilometres to the northeast of the town of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.

 

Option Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Transaction, Barrick has the right to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Patris property in consideration for cash payments totalling C$1,017,500 and exploration work totalling C$16,575,000, over an eight-year period, including a guaranteed amount of C$3,000,000, over a four-year period. Barrick will be the operator of the work carried out under the Transaction.

 

Midland and Barrick have agreed to negotiate a definitive earn-in and joint venture agreement, which is subject to customary terms and conditions as set forth in the term sheet, including the successful negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement for the Transaction, the satisfactory completion of due diligence by Barrick and the receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

 

Gino Roger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Midland, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Barrick as one of our new high-quality partners who will ensure the progress of future exploration work on this excellent gold project.”

 

About the Patris Property

 

The wholly owned Patris project comprises 298 claims covering a surface area of about 117 square kilometres, located less than 10 kilometres northwest of the prolific Doyon/Westwood-Bousquet-La Ronde gold mining camp. The Patris property offers excellent gold potential as it covers the Manneville Fault over more than 8 kilometres and the La Pause Fault over more than 10 kilometres, both recognized as subsidiary faults to the well-known Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone.

 

Cautionary statement

 

Mineralization occurring at the Doyon/Westwood-Bousquet-La Ronde gold mines is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be found on the Patris property held by Midland.
