North Peak And Minex Amend Black Horse Property Option Agreement; Property Reverts To Minex And Portion Of Initial Payment Returned
Calgary, Sept. 1, 2022 - North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (the "Company" or "North Peak") announces that it has mutually agreed with Minex LLC to amend the Option Agreement for the Black Horse Property such that control of the Nevada gold property reverts to Minex and US$500,000 and 1,250,000 common shares from the initial option payment (see news release - December 6th, 2021) is being returned to the Company, who will now forego all option rights over the Black Horse Property. "The opportunity to work with Minex and its founder Gary Grauberger on the Black Horse project in Nevada was a great learning opportunity and both parties coordinated on the work programs this spring," said Brian Hinchcliffe, North Peak CEO. "We wish Minex success going forward and hope the core drilling and other exploration activity carried out will be of benefit. While the Company's property search focus has been almost exclusively Nevada recently, challenges experienced these past months - including costs and productivity - will result in a geographically expanded search."
The amendment to the aforementioned Option Agreement (originally signed December 6, 2021) is effective August 31, 2022. As part of this transaction, the Company is responsible for and has agreed to complete reclamation on the Black Horse Property resulting from its recent drilling and exploration program, for which a bond of US$21,899 is on deposit with the Bureau of Land Management.
The Company is a Canadian based gold exploration and development company that is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "NPR". The company is focused on acquiring historic sites, with low cost producing gold and other metals properties, with near term production potential and 8+ year mine life in the northern hemisphere.
