FLUME PROPERTY
Flume, Yukon
In March 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement with K2 Gold Corporation (“K2”) granting K2 the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Flume gold property. In August 2018, K2 terminated the option agreement. As K2 had only partially met its 2018 exploration commitment, K2 issued 285,238 common shares with a value of $65,615 to the Company, to settle remaining unspent exploration expenditure amounts. Additionally, the Company received option payments from K2 comprising $35,000 in cash and 100,000 common shares with a fair value of $27,500, totaling aggregate option proceeds received of $128,115 during the year ended December 31, 2018.
In June 2019, the Company engaged a consulting firm and completed a review and reinterpretation of historical exploration data of the Flume property. In September 2019, the Company completed fieldwork which included geological mapping, rock sampling and re-logging of historical cores. Twenty-five grab rock samples were collected, of which 5 were greater than 100 ppb gold. Analytical work was performed. Rocks were crushed, split and pulverized with a subset of 250 g rock sieved to 200 mesh and analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion Au by ICP-ES 30. No work was performed in 2020.
