Vedanta to exclude base metals business from sweeping demerger
The group said it will consider the base metals business demerger at a later stage.
Full Metal Minerals (TSXV: FMM) and GSP Resource (TSXV: GSPR) have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Full Metal has the option to earn a 60% interest in GSPR’s Olivine Mountain property located in British Columbia’s Similkameen mining division.
Following a 2018 airborne magnetic and TEM survey, and a 2019 exploration drilling campaign, several surface showings and targets within the property were identified and remain untested
In a press release, the miners said that Full Metals may exercise the option by incurring exploration expenditures of $500,000, making cash payments totalling $500,000 and issuing 250,000 common shares over the four-year option term.
Following the exercise of the option, Full Metal and GSPR will continue under a joint venture with the former holding a 60% interest and the latter holding a 40% interest.
