VANCOUVER, May 25, 2016 /CNW/ - ALTAIR GOLD INC.
("Altair" or the "Company")
(TSX-V: AVX; Germany FRA: 90A;
ISIN: CA0213702008; WKN: WKN
A14WVP) Mr. John Huguet,
Chairman of the Board, is pleased to announce the signing of a
Binding Letter of Intent, with an arm's length company, to acquire
100% of Epic Mining Corp. which in turn owns 99% of Panamericana
SAC. Panamericana SAC owns a resource property in Peru covering approximately 900 hectares.
Through the acquisition, Altair will hold 100% of the rights,
title and interest in the 900 Ha Lejin property. 700 Ha of the
Leijin property is surrounded on three sides by HudBay Minerals
Inc.'s holdings adjacent to their Constancia Mine in the Province
of Chumbivilcas in southern Peru. HudBay invested
$1.7 billion in the construction of
the Constancia Mine and achieved commercial production in
April 2015. The Constancia Mine
is an open pit operation with a 22 year life primarily extracting
copper with additional molybdenum and silver credits. Limited
sampling conducted on the Lejin property has detected traces of
alteration suggesting the potential for copper mineralization.
On closing of the acquisition the Company will consider an
exploration program to test targets on the properties.
The terms for the acquisition are that the Company will, on
closing, issue 500,000 common shares and pay $60,125. A portion of the common shares issued
will be subject to a voluntary trading restriction in addition to
the statutory hold period of four months from closing. A total of
300,000 shares will be subject to voluntary trading restrictions as
follows: 100,000 restricted from trading for six months; 100,000
restricted from trading for nine months; and 100,000 restricted
from trading for twelve months. On closing the Company will pay a
finder's fee of 54,905 common shares of the company. Closing of the
transaction is subject to acceptance of filings with the TSX
Venture Exchange. Mr. C. Ulansky, P.
Geo., a Qualified Person, has reviewed and verified the technical
contents of this release.
