AZINCOURT ENERGY AMENDS TERMS OF OPTION TO ACQUIRE URANIUM-LITHIUM PROJECTS IN SOUTHERN PERU
Azincourt Energy Corp. has reached an agreement with 1177865 B.C. Ltd. to amend the option under which the company holds the rights to acquire three uranium-lithium exploration projects located in the Picotani volcanic field in Carabaya and San Antanio De Putina provinces, Puno region, southeastern Peru.
The Projects cover a combined area of 7,400 hectares of prospective exploration targets for volcanic hosted supergene/surficial uranium and lithium on the Picotani Plateau (or “mesata” in Spanish). The land package consists of the Escalera project comprised of 6 concessions totaling 5,500 hectares, the Lituania concession covering 899.97 hectares, and the Condorlit concession covering 999.97 hectares.
Under the terms of the amendment, the Company has agreed to issue the Optionor 4,000,000 common shares in lieu of a cash payment of $150,000 due and owing by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Option, and the requirement to incur exploration expenditures of at least $250,000 in the initial twelve months of the Option. In addition, the Optionor is entitled to receive a further 1,000,000 common shares in accordance with the existing terms of the Option.
The amendment will allow the Company to retain control of the Project, while conserving available capital for its planned work program at the East Preston uranium project, located in the western Athabasca basin in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
“The preliminary work we did in Peru late last year showed these are indeed compelling exploration targets that deserve follow up work,” said President & CEO, Alex Klenman. “But right now, our priority is East Preston and with the Athabasca drill season approaching fast it is important we allocate our time and resources there. This agreement allows us to keep the Peruvian projects in good standing as we pursue critical development at East Preston.”
The issuance of an additional 4,000,000 common shares to the Optionor, pursuant to the terms of the amendment, remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All common shares to be issued to the Optionor, pursuant to the terms of the Option, will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
