Platinex Expands Their Shining Tree Property
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/13/10 -- Platinex Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PTX), announced that it has entered into an agreement with Canadian Prospecting Ventures Inc. (CPV) to acquire one hundred percent interest, in its 12 claim unit (192 ha.) property. The property adjoins the former producing Ronda Gold Mine property of Strike Minerals Inc. on the east and south and straddles the Michiwakenda fault and the possible southward extension of the Herrick gold deposit 4kms south of Platinex's current drilling program.
Platinex's President, James R. Trusler, stated that 'Platinex is currently focusing all its efforts in the Shining Tree area gold play. We believe the next major gold find in Ontario will be in the Shining Tree area. Much like Kirkland Lake we are finding Timiskaming sedimentary and volcanic rocks, alkallic intrusions and broad potassic alteration zones. This is the recipe for gold.'
Under the agreement Platinex has a twenty day period in which it must complete its due diligence following which initial payments of $5,000 and 50,000 shares of Platinex must be made. In order to exercise the option Platinex must make further payments totaling $15,000, issue 250,000 shares of Platinex and expend $100,000 on exploration over a three year period. Upon exercise of the option Canadian Prospecting Ventures Inc. will retain a 3% NSR royalty. Up to 1.5% of the royalty may be purchased in 0.5% increments for $500,000 per 0.5% of NSR.
