Wedgemount Resources Announces Amendment to Option Agreement for Eagle Property
Vancouver, BC – December 15, 2021 – Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY) (“Wedgemount” or the “Company”), announces that it has amended the terms of the option agreement signed in September 2020 (the “Agreement”) with ArcWest Exploration Inc. (“ArcWest”) for its Eagle Property (“Eagle” or the “Property”). Pursuant to the Agreement, exploration expenditures of $250,000 were required on the Property prior to December 31, 2021, which has been completed, as well as a minimum 1000 meters of exploration drilling (the “NQ Drilling”). Wedgemount and ArcWest have agreed to extend the time in which Wedgemount has to complete the NQ Drilling, until December 31, 2022 (the “Amendment”). As consideration for the Amendment, on signing, Wedgemount will make a cash payment of $25,000 and issue 400,000 common shares to ArcWest (the “Amendment Consideration”). The Amendment Consideration will be credited towards future payments due to ArcWest and does not increase the number of common shares issuable to ArcWest pursuant to the Agreement. Cash payments may increase under the Amendment, in the event the Company is not able to complete the NQ Drilling prior to December 31, 2022, it is required to pay ArcWest an additional $250,000.
Eagle Project
The road accessible, 2,530 hectare project is situated in the heart of BC’s prolific Quesnel trough copper‐ gold porphyry belt mid‐way between the Mt. Milligan copper‐gold mine of Centerra Gold and the Kwanika copper‐gold development project of Northwest Copper. The Property is underlain by the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous Hogem Intrusive Suite, a large, regional batholith comprised of alkaline and calc‐alkaline plutons that have been emplaced into the Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic Takla Group volcanic rocks and sedimentary sequences. Historical work from the late‐1960s to the early 2000’s, including geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys and limited drilling have outlined three main porphyry‐ related copper‐gold targets. The discrete zones identified on the Eagle property to‐date are hosted within a broad, northwest‐trending, 3.5 km long structural corridor of copper‐gold mineralization and widespread anomalous copper in soils. The Eagle project is subject to an earn‐in agreement with ArcWest Exploration Inc (see AWX news release dated October 5, 2020).
