Canamex and GMV Enter into Option Agreement on Large Prospective Gold Acreage in Guyana
July 06 2011 - 7:30AM
Marketwired
Canamex Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CSQ)(FRANKFURT: CX6)
("Canamex") and GMV Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GMV) ("GMV")
through its wholly-owned subsidiary GMV Guyana Resources Inc., are
pleased to announce they have entered into an option and joint
venture agreement covering a large land package containing
nominally 98,000 acres in a highly prospective gold region in
Guyana, subject to receipt of regulatory approval. The land package
is referred to as Aranka North, and lies to the northeast of the
major gold discoveries by Guyana Goldfields at Aurora and Sulfur
Rose, and their reported new discovery at Aranka, all of which lie
along a northeast trend. The Aranka North land package lies further
to the northeast along this well-mineralized and highly prospective
gold trend. There is active alluvial mining going on within the
land package along the Waini River system, and management believes
the source of the alluvial gold is in the outcropping and shallow
bedrock at the headwaters of the gold-bearing alluvial drainages
within the land package.
GMV has recently flown an airborne geophysical survey over the
Aranka North land package as part of their exploration program on
most of their land holdings in Guyana, and Canamex has agreed to
acquire this geophysical data from GMV as part of the transaction.
Regional geophysics flown previously by the Guyana government
reveals a pronounced aeromagnetic anomaly in the headwaters region
of the alluvial mining that will be an initial focus of Canamex's
exploration on the Aranka North property.
Canamex has incorporated a wholly-owned Guyanese entity, Canamex
Guyana Inc. ("Canamex Guyana"), to enter into this transaction and
to do business in Guyana. Canamex Guyana has engaged Mr. Deryck
Khan, a resident of Georgetown Guyana, as its Country Manager. Mr.
Khan is an established businessman in Georgetown, has been an
alluvial miner for many years, knows the gold-bearing districts of
Guyana, the people in the gold business in Guyana, and the
administrative and regulatory process and requirements for doing
business in Guyana.
Canamex, through Canamex Guyana, has been granted an option to
acquire up to a 100% interest in the Aranka North properties by
making cash payments to GMV totaling US$520,627.62 over the next 36
months, expending US$1,000,000 in exploration work on the
properties before December 31, 2013, and issuing a total of
3,750,000 shares to GMV in stages as follows: (a) 1,500,000 shares
upon approval of the transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange
(Approval Date), (b) 1,250,000 within 18 months of the Approval
Date, and (c) 1,000,000 shares within 36 months of the Approval
Date. In addition, upon exercise of the option, Canamex has agreed
to pay GMV US$500,000 cash and issue 500,000 shares in the capital
stock of Canamex to GMV for every 500,000 ounces of gold contained
in measured and indicated resources as referenced in a National
Instrument 43-101 qualifying report, up to a maximum of
US$2,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of Canamex.
A finder's fee will be paid in connection with this transaction
to Bear Trade Corporation in accordance with the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange.
Canamex continues to review and negotiate on a number of other
land packages in the Guyana gold region that it believes are highly
prospective for significant bedrock gold deposits. Canamex intends
to be in a position to commence field programs on the Aranka North
properties aggressively in the fall dry season beginning in August
2011, and on the other properties as they are secured.
