RESOLVE VENTURES AMENDS NEPTUNE LITHIUM OPTION, ADVANTAGE LITHIUM
GRANTED OPTION ON NEPTUNE PROPERTY
Resolve Ventures Inc. has entered into an agreement with Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. and Advantage Lithium Corp. to allow Advantage to
earn up to a 50-per-cent working interest in the Neptune lithium property by, among other
things, incurring $700,000 in exploration expenditures on the property.
The amending agreement amends and supersedes the company's joint venture and option agreement
with Nevada dated May 3, 2016. Pursuant to the original option
agreement, Resolve had the right to earn up to a 50-per-cent working interest in the property. In May, 2016,
Resolve fulfilled the obligations of its initial 25-per-cent earn-in for the property. Pursuant to the amending
agreement, Resolve has now agreed to terminate its right to a second-stage earn-in, where Resolve could
have increased its interest to 50 per cent. The amending agreement grants Advantage the option to earn up to a
50-per-cent interest in the property, with the company and Nevada each retaining a 25-per-cent interest. Upon
Advantage exercising its option to earn a 50-per-cent interest, a three-way joint venture will be formed, with Nevada
and Resolve each retaining a 25-per-cent interest.
To earn a 50-per-cent participating interest in Neptune, Advantage must fulfill the following obligations:
- Incur total exploration expenditures of $700,000, as follows:
a minimum of $100,000 before July 29, 2017;
a minimum aggregate of $300,000 before July 29, 2018; and
a minimum aggregate of $700,000 before July 29, 2019;
- Exercise its initial option agreement with Nevada for five lithium properties, one of which
is the Neptune property;
- Make annual common share payments to the underlying owner of the property, either by
direct issuance of Advantage's common shares, or by reimbursing Nevada with Advantage
common shares, should Nevada issue its shares to the underlying owner, at the underlying owner's
option.
Nevada will act as manager of exploration during the Advantage earn-in period and will charge a 10-per-cent
management fee. For further information regarding the agreements between Nevada and Advantage, see
Nevada's news release dated Aug. 29, 2016.
If the amending agreement is terminated prior to the Advantage earn-in date, Resolve can resume its
right to the second-stage option and regain the right to earn a 50-per-cent interest in Neptune, subject to fulfilling
certain conditions.
We seek Safe Harbor.
