VANCOUVER, Oct. 2, 2019 /CNW/ - Victory Metals
("TSX-V:VMX") ("Victory" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, Ethos Gold, has
completed its Phase I deep drill program at Iron Point,
Nevada. The program represented
the first known deep drilling at Iron Point, and was designed to
target lower plate stratigraphy and look for the presence of
Carlin style gold
mineralization.
For full information on results and interpretation of the
drilling, please refer to Ethos' news release dated October 2, 2019.
Collin Kettell, Chief Executive
Officer of Victory, stated: "We are very pleased to see the
successful completion of the Phase I deep drilling by Ethos Gold,
our joint venture partner. The promising stratigraphy, structure
and anomalous gold results has motivated Ethos to consider and plan
a Phase II drilling program. We look forward to further news from
Ethos."
Earn In and Joint Venture Terms
Ethos can earn a 50% interest in all precious metal rights at
Iron Point by spending a minimum of $5.0
million over three years, with minimum expenditures of
$1.0 million in the first year.
Based on the Phase 1 program expenditures Ethos has now completed
the first year earn-in expenditure requirements. Following the
earn-in a 50-50 joint venture will be formed between Ethos and
Victory. Victory will maintain 100% title to the Iron Point claims
and on completion of its earn-in Ethos would have a contractual
right to 50% of any precious metal discovery. The vanadium
mineralization is near surface with significant spatial separation
from the conceptual deeper gold target. Victory maintains the right
to ensure that any precious metal exploration and development plans
do not interfere with development of its vanadium
project.
