“This transaction strengthens Kodiak’s focus on our southern projects, in particularly our highly prospective MPD copper-gold porphyry project in South-Central BC where we are currently drilling to follow-up on our Gate Zone discovery and are expecting the first results within weeks,” said Kodiak Copper President and CEO Claudia Tornquist.
Under the terms of the agreement Brixton will pay $100,000 cash and 2,324,393 common shares as consideration for Trapper.
