WALLBRIDGE ANNOUNCES SALE OF DETOUR EAST CLAIMS
Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. has sold mineral claims comprising the Detour East property to Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. for cash consideration of $8-million plus a 2-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty over the property (with a $4-million buyback option in favour of Agnico Eagle). The Detour East claims were the subject of an existing earn-in agreement between Wallbridge and Agnico Eagle. The transaction provides immediate liquidity to Wallbridge and will allow it to focus on the continued exploration and development of its Detour-Fenelon gold trend property, located in the northern Abitibi region of Quebec.
"The sale of Detour East to Agnico strengthens our financial position and provides Wallbridge additional flexibility as we continue to advance our Detour-Fenelon gold trend property," commented Brian W. Penny, chief executive officer. "The 2-per-cent NSR on the property enables us to maintain exposure to Detour East's potential and is consistent with our strategy of prioritizing our two core assets Fenelon and Martiniere," concluded Mr. Penny.
