VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stallion Discoveries Corp. (the “Company” or “Stallion“) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: HM4) is pleased to announce the signing of the definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with ATHA Energy Corp. (“Atha”). As previously announced on May 16, 2023, this agreement gives the Company the option (the “Option”) to acquire a 70% interest in 47 mineral claims covering 547,524 acres in Saskatchewan’s prolific Western Athabasca Basin (the “Project”). Should the Option be exercised, the Company would hold an aggregate of 715,450 acres in the Western Athabasca Basin, part of which would form the largest contiguous land package in the Western Athabasca Basin.
“We are excited to have signed the definitive agreement with Atha and look forward to welcoming them as shareholders of Stallion. This is transformational deal for Stallion to expand our position in the Western Athabasca Basin and create the largest single exploration land package. With exploration efforts well underway and initial geophysical results forthcoming on our 100% owned projects, this transaction will give our exploration efforts even more potential in the burgeoning and under-explored Western Basin,” stated Drew Zimmerman, CEO of Stallion Discoveries.
Key Terms:
- During the term of the Option, Stallion will be the sole operator of all exploration programs on the Project.
- The Option will become exercisable upon completion of the last milestone and will remain exercisable for one year thereafter. Milestones include:
- i) issuance of 3,333,333 shares of Stallion within two business days following the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent
- ii) accumulation of $3,311,770 Saskatchewan Exploration Expenditure Credits on the Project within 12 months; and
- iii) accumulation of an additional $8,688,230 Saskatchewan Exploration Expenditure Credits (for an aggregate of $12,000,000) on the Project within 60 months
- Following the exercise of the Option, Stallion and Atha will commence a joint venture on the Project with Stallion and Atha (including the carried over interest of the legacy owner) holding a 70% and a 30% interest, respectively.
The transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval on the part of Stallion and the Canadian Securities Exchange on the part of Atha.
