VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2011) - Logan Resources Ltd. (News - Market indicators) ("Logan") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., ("Equity Exploration"), whereby Equity Exploration has granted Logan the option to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Chuchi Property, located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia (the "Property"). The proposed transaction between Logan and Equity Exploration is an arm's length transaction and remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Option Agreement
Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Logan has an option (the "Option") to earn a 100% interest in the Property which may be exercised by:
- Making cash payments to Equity Exploration totalling $260,000 over four years;
- Issuing a total of 1,000,000 common shares of Logan to Equity Exploration over a period of four years; and
- Incurring exploration expenditures totalling $3,650,000 over four years.
Logan has appointed Equity Exploration to carry out the exploration work on the Property. The Option Agreement includes standard representations and warranties, termination provisions, a five kilometre area of interest and a 3% net smelter royalty payable to Equity Exploration.
The Property
The Property consists of 6,436 hectares and is a porphyry copper-gold target in the prolific Quesnel Trough Porphyry Belt in central British Columbia. The recent Kwanika discovery by Serengeti Resources as well as ongoing development at Mt. Milligan by Thompson Creek Metals has caused resurgence in exploration activity in the area.
Previous geochemical and geophysical work on the Property has outlined several showings and areas that require follow-up. The latest exploration has outlined kilometre scale areas of anomalous copper and gold in soils. Combined with the magnetic response, the anomalous soil geochemistry defines an east-northeast structural trend through the Property.
