Commentary Frontline's President and CEO, Mr. Walter Henry, said “The net proceeds from this royalty sale will be used to fund continued exploration and development activities at the Company's Ontario and Quebec properties, a 1,000 metre drilling program at it Menderes Gold property in Turkey in early 2021, to complete additional property acquisitions, capital restructuring and for general working capital purposes.” The sale of the NSRs from these 4 Red Lake Property groups does not include other gold properties that Frontline owns 100% within the Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario.
This portfolio of Frontline’s NSRs in Red Lake arose from the optioning of four Red Lake Property groups to
Pacton Gold Inc. ("Pacton"), between November 2018 and October 2019. In summary, 4 option agreements (“Red Lake Options”) to purchase were entered into between Pacton and Frontline consisting of 41 legacy claims (totaling ~6,100 hectares), distributed over four properties (Gullrock Lake, Duchess, Red Lake, Tilly) in the heart of the Red Lake mining district, Ontario, all of which are currently optioned to, or operated by, Pacton Gold Inc. As part of these Red Lake Options Frontline retained net smelter return royalties ranging from 0.25% to 2.25% on all of the Red Lake properties optioned. The Red Lake Options which were summarized in a Frontline May 28, 2020 press release (
