Citadel will have the right to earn a further 24% interest by completing a feasibility study.
On completion of Citadel's option, a joint venture will be formed between Citadel and Trelawney on either a 51-49 or 75-25 basis, respectively, to further develop the property.
Citadel and Trelawney are excited about the potential for the Massey property and look forward to partnering to maximize this site's base metal potential.
