Discovery Divests Non-Core Exploration Property
September 27 2021 - 9:55AM
Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“Discovery” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
arm's length assignment and assumption agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Monumental Gold Ltd. (“Monumental”) (TSX-V: MGLD) dated
September 22, 2021, whereby Discovery has agreed to transfer and
assign its rights and obligations under the option agreement on the
Jemi Rare Earth Property (the “Property” and the “Jemi Option
Agreement”), located in Coahuila, Mexico, to Monumental.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Monumental
will assume the Jemi Option Agreement and in return will issue to
Discovery that number of common shares of Monumental that would
result in Discovery holding 9.9% of the issued and outstanding
common shares of Monumental (“Payment Shares”) on a non-diluted
basis. The Payment Shares are subject to a statutory hold period of
four months and a day from the date of issuance and a 12-month
voluntary hold period from the date of issuance. In addition,
subject to the exercise of the option to acquire the Property
pursuant to the Agreement, Discovery would retain a 1.5% net
smelter returns royalty payable upon the commercial production of
the Property in accordance with the terms set out in the Agreement
and pursuant to a separate royalty agreement between Discovery and
Monumental’s Mexican subsidiaries.
The divestiture of the Property is consistent
with the Company’s strategy of streamlining its property portfolio
in order to focus on its flagship Cordero project in Chihuahua,
Mexico. The transaction also provides Discovery with investment
exposure to an early-stage exploration property with known showings
of rare earth elements.
The transfer of the Jemi Option Agreement to
Monumental is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
