16 Febrero 2023 - 9:04AM
The management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
SOI) (“
Sirios or the
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has signed a sale and purchase
agreement (the “
SPA”) with the Australian company
Cygnus Gold Ltd. (
“Cygnus”) and its wholly owned
Canadian subsidiary Avenir Metals (Canada) Limited
(“
Avenir”) for the sale of the Pontax property,
located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, in consideration of a
$1.2M cash payment upon signing and the issuance of 750,000 shares
of Cygnus. Further payments and share issuances of up to $3 million
and one million additional shares, respectively, are also
anticipated in the event of a future delineation of a lithium
resource on the property as described below.
Dominique Doucet, President of Sirios stated:
"We are very pleased with this transaction involving the sale of
the Pontax property, which will provide Sirios with additional
necessary funds, without diluting its capital stock, to pursue the
development of Sirios' major projects, including Cheechoo and
Aquilon. In addition, the Cygnus shares held by Sirios will allow
it to benefit from the successes achieved in the search for lithium
by this dynamic Australian company."
Summary of the Sale
TransactionUnder the terms of the SPA, Cygnus will pay
Sirios $1.2 million (CAD) upon signing and issue 750,000 shares,
half of which will have a one-year hold period.
If a resource of 4 million metric tonnes at a
minimum grade of 0.8% Li2O is delineated on the property, Cygnus
will be required to make a further cash payment of $1M and issue
500,000 shares.
Finally, an additional payment of $2M will be
required, in addition to the issuance of 500,000 shares, in the
event that the resource on Pontax (validated under the JORC code)
reaches 6 million metric tonnes at a minimum grade of 0.8%
Li2O.
Sirios will hold a 1.5% net smelter return
royalty with a buy-back clause by Cygnus for 0.75% in consideration
of a $600,000 payment. Completion of the sale of the Pontax
property is conditional to the satisfaction of mutually agreeable
ancillary agreements on or before the expiry of a delay of 90 days
after the signature of the SPA.
