TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Seabridge Gold has optioned its Red Mountain project in British Columbia to Banks Island Gold to focus on its two other assets in Canada, the companies said on Thursday.
To get 100% of Red Mountain, Banks Island must pay Seabridge a total of four-million shares and $11.9-million in cash by February 2015.
Of this, $900 000 and the scrip portion are payable once a definitive agreement is signed – Thursday’s announcement was made on the basis of a letter of intent.
Red Mountain has measured and indicated resources of 400 000 oz, compared with the hefty 49-million ounces Seabridge has at its Flagship KSM project, also in British Columbia, or the nearly eight-million at the Courageous Lake deposit in the Northwest Territories.
Banks Island, which debuted on the TSX-V in October, owns two projects in the north-west coastal region of British Columbia.
With 17-million shares in total, Seabridge will own nearly 20% of the company.
