Richmond Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: RMD) (“Richmond” or the “Company”) and Mag Copper Inc. (CNSX: QUE) (“Mag”) are pleased to announce the acquisition of seven mining claims in Halle Township, Quebec. These claims adjoin the southeast corner of the Richmond/Mag Halle Township Joint Venture Property located near Belleterre, Quebec and contain the southeast extension of the GEOTEM airborne anomaly identified by Richmond/Mag during the Phase I exploration program in 2006. Drilling of the northern portion of the anomaly in 2010 identified numerous intervals of anomalous zinc and nickel values. The newly acquired claims containing the southern extension of the airborne anomaly have never been drilled.
The claims are being acquired from Fieldex Exploration (TSX-V: FLX). Pursuant to the terms of agreement Richmond and Mag will each acquire 50% interest in the claims by issuing 250,000 of their common shares each to Fieldex. Fieldex retains the right to back-in anytime for a 33 1/3 interest in the claims by reimbursing twice the exploration funds invested in these claims by Richmond/Mag.
The acquisition of Richmond’s interest in the southern extension claims is subject to the approval of the TSX-Venture Exchange.
