LOI FOR MINING LEASE ON PATENTED CLAIMS IN MATHESON, ONTARIO
Kermode Resources Ltd. has signed a non-binding letter of intent for a lease agreement for patented claims in Matheson,
Ont., called the Brazeau Rumleski gold project (BRG). The property has been
used for farming since it was created after the Second World War and the owner has done small-scale
prospecting at site. It has no publicly filed mineral occurrences and has never been worked by a
public company before, although there are major mines nearby.
The lease agreement will cover approximately 160 acres of private property, where BRG owns
surface, mineral and water rights. Kermode can earn a leasehold interest for any and all mining
exploration and development work on the property. Over the 40-year life of the deal, the total
payments are $3,345,000 cash and 36 million shares. The deal does not provide for a purchase,
but only ever a lease agreement on an annual basis, with certain rights of use and not ownership.
Peter Bell, chief executive officer of Kermode, stated: "This is an aggressive deal with bullish partners. I am grateful for the
opportunity to work with Mark Brazeau and his friends. Thanks Mr. Orville Rumleski for dealing
with me on this project for Kermode. Let's find a gold mine!"
The due diligence period has commenced with an initial payment of $10,000 by Kermode to the
vendor group. During the due diligence period, either Kermode or the vendor group can conduct
any exploration activities at the property. Kermode shall have sole discretion to complete any
exploration work at the property, the vendor group shall be able to do any work at their sole
discretion, or the vendor and Kermode can work together at any time in any way. Both parties
shall be able to publish any information at any time at their discretion regarding such work in
compliance with relevant requirements for technical disclosure of mineral exploration results.
The due diligence period shall extend indefinitely. Kermode shall not be under any obligation to
do any work during the due diligence period. This letter of intent is mutually non-binding for all
parties. The terms of the letter of intent are subject to renegotiation by either party prior to establishing a
definitive agreement, and it is uncertain if or when a final agreement will be reached.
The proposed terms are as follows:
- 20-year lease, renewable for a single 20-year increment: Lease payments under the
royalty for the previous five years shall be credited cumulatively against royalty payment
obligations. All lease payments after the fifth year will be indexed and increased by the
compounded CPI (consumer price index) inflation rate each year.
-
There is a 5-per-cent net smelter return royalty payable to the vendor group (one-quarter each),
where each 1 per cent can be bought- down for $1-million. The total royalty package
can be bought out for $5-million cash to the four members of the vendor group.
-
The vendor group has a sale participation right, whereby it shall receive 10 per cent of any
proceeds received by Kermode from any future sale of any interest in the property.
-
There shall be no mutual area of interest clause. The terms of this deal shall not apply
to any other property at any other time for any reason at the sole discretion of Kermode.
-
There shall be no work commitments.
