O3 MINING SIGNS OPTION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE QMX'S AURBEL MILL, 10 KM FROM ALPHA PROPERTY
O3 Mining Inc. has signed an option agreement with QMX Gold Corp. to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Aurbel mill (a fully permitted mining facility), located 10 kilometres from O3 Mining's Alpha property. The Mill Option grants O3 Mining the right to acquire the Aurbel Mill, the tailings and all associated permits and liabilities, for a purchase price of CDN $5 million (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) at any time during a six-year term. The Corporation has paid a deposit of CDN $250,000 for the Mill Option and must contribute $87,500 per annum for maintenance costs associated with the Aurbel Mill in order to maintain the Mill Option during the six-year term of the Mill Option.
O3 Mining President and CEO Jose Vizquerra commented: "We are thrilled to have entered into this option agreement with QMX for the Aurbel Mill. Identifying this potential mill site for our Alpha property is a major milestone for the Corporation as we continue with our exploration initiatives in the near-term. The Mill Option allows us to secure existing infrastructure without additional environmental impact, secures the potential to expand the mill capacity as required, and strengthens our strategy of bringing the Alpha property into production in less than six years. We look forward to getting back to work!"
The Aurbel Mill is strategically located 10 kilometres from the Corporation's flagship Alpha property housing the Bulldog, Pontiac East and Epsilon zones, as well as the Orenada 2&4, Akasaba and Simkar deposits. The Aurbel Mill is also a potential site for the Malartic and East Cadillac properties. O3 Mining is committed to increasing shareholder value through a three-pillar strategy:
advancing the Marban project closer to development by publishing a Preliminary Economic Assessment and exploring the Malartic property (10,000 metre program);
expanding the mineral resources at the Alpha property with a 25,000 metre drill program; and
expanding mineralization at the East Cadillac property (15,000 metre program).
