Mexivada Executes Purchase Option of Rypan Porcupine Gold Mines Claims at Timmins, Ontario, and Expands Gold Target Area
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/15/11 -- Mexivada Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MNV)(OTCBB: MXVDF)(FRANKFURT: M2Q) is pleased to report that it has entered into an option agreement with Ranger Exploration (P. C. Robert and W.T. Kornik) of Timmins Ontario ('vendors') to purchase a 100% interest in 4 claim units ('Rypan') in Deloro Township Ontario. Mexivada has mobilized a core drilling rig to the area, and plans to conduct core drilling on these claims in 2011. The Rypan claims are situated adjacent to the east property line of Mexivada's Golden Porcupine property, in the 60,000,000 ounce Timmins mining area, south of the Delnite and Aunor gold mines and southwest of Goldcorp's 17,000,000 oz. Dome Mine. Mexivada is using flow-through cash funds in Mexivada's treasury to fund this drilling program.
The Rypan claims are located along the Destor-Porcupine structural system, where significant, gold-mineralized vein systems have been newly discovered by Mexivada through detailed field work, and where Rypan Gold Mines conducted exploration and drilling 16 holes by 1947. Rypan reportedly discovered 'commercial' gold assay values in holes 15 and 16 along the newly-defined Deloro Fault system, and hole 16 was found in the field by Mexivada. The new 'Clarinda' quartz-ankerite-pyrite vein system also was found by Mexivada, with 4 interpreted superposed quartz veining events, similar to veining seen in the Dome Mine. The fault systems and quartz veining on Rypan extend to the west-southwest on to the Golden Porcupine main claimblock. Trenching to gain more exposures here will take place in September, and drilling will start thereafter.
Mexivada feels that the new Rypan property optioned from Ranger Exploration holds good promise to hold gold deposits of the size and gold grade that would be attractive for possible future development, in line with Mexivada's model of searching for large deposits that would be attractive to major gold companies such as Goldcorp. Mexivada continues to search for the acquisition of additional attractive gold properties in the Timmins - Matheson gold production region, on which to conduct drilling exploration.
Mexivada can purchase a 100% interest in the four-unit claim property by compensating vendors in 1) a payment of $25,000 in cash on signing, and 2) issue to Ranger 500,000 common shares of Mexivada common stock upon approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, and 3) a payment of $25,000 in cash on or before the first anniversary of the execution of the agreement, and 4) issue to Ranger 500,000 common shares of Mexivada common stock on or before the first anniversary of the execution of the agreement and upon approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The vendors (Ranger) shall retain a two percent (2%) net smelter returns royalty on the sale of all minerals from the property, in accordance with industry practice, and half of this NSR may be purchased from the vendors at any time for $1,000,000. Mexivada shall hold the property in good standing, so as to hold the Vendors' royalty valid throughout.
The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, receipt of all requisite Regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
