Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2014) -
Sunset Cove Mining (TSXV: SSM) (BVL: SSM) today announces that it has signed a Mineral Option Agreement with a group of Quebec prospectors to purchase, by way of an option agreement, 100% of the Lac Guéret
North Graphite Property in northeastern Quebec. This transaction means that Sunset Cove now owns 10,900 hectares in the Lac Guéret mining camp that is home to the Mason Graphite discovery.
The Lac Guéret North Property is located in the developing graphite exploration camp, roughly 300 km north of Baie Comeau and 660 km north of Montreal. The property is road accessible and within the Grenville province.
"The acquisition of the Lac Guéret North Property fits in with our plans to become an important player in this mining camp," said Lorne Woods, Sunset Cove Mining President and CEO. "We firmly believe in the important role
graphite will play going forward."
The 5,600 hectare Lac Guéret North property lies to the north-east of Mason Graphite's 11,630 hectare Lac Guéret Graphite Project which has already filed a favourable NI 43-101 compliant report and a Preliminary Economic
Assessment (PEA) with a Measured and Indicated Resource of 50 million tonnes at a grade of 15.63% CGR (Carbon as Graphite), a two and a half year payback period and a proposed mine life of 22 years based on only a partial exploration of the
property. It should be noted that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The company states it intends to transition the project to production by the end of 2015.
The presence of a graphite resource on Mason's lands does not necessarily indicate the presence of graphite on the Lac Guéret North Property; however the Lac Guéret North Graphite Property lies within the same prospective
geological environment as Mason Graphite's Lac Guéret Property, in the Paleoproterozoic Gagnon Terrane, which is considered a para-autochthonous unit fertile for graphite in the Grenville Province of Quebec and includes
biotite/garnet/sillimanite/graphite paragneisses, ironstone, dolomitic marbles and intrusive rocks. Graphite in the area is present in marbles and in contact with or within paragneisses. Large flake graphite is generally considered as 0.2 mm and
above.
The Company is in the early stages of planning a Phase 1 exploration program to be conducted in 2014. The Lac Guéret North Graphite Property is easily accessible and is approximately three hours from Baie-Comeau by road. Sunset will make
property maps and details available on our website. The exploration program will be under the supervision of APEX Geoscience who is Sunset's independent technical team. A full description of the exploration program will be released shortly
"Graphite is becoming very promising with its consumption forecast to grow for many years," said Sunset COO Marc Blais, "we had to say yes to this business opportunity considering the potential to discover the extension of
Mason's ore-body and the creation of value to our shareholders, I see it as an additional strategic acquisition for Sunset."
This option agreement is subject to Board and TSX-V approval. The terms of the option require a payment of $ 90,000 that is payable in shares and in three installments over the next twelve months.
The details of the $90,000 purchase are a first payment of $30,000 that will be paid by issuing 600,000 shares at $0.05 on TSX approval of the transaction; $30,000 will be paid in shares, at the market price, six months after the
approval of the TSX and $30,000 will be paid in shares, at the market price, twelve months after the approval of the TSX
If the company keeps the property, it will have to pay an additional $60,000 in two installments $30,000 that will be paid in shares, at the market price, eighteen months after the approval of the TSX and $30,000 that will be paid in
shares, at the market price, twenty-four months after the first approval by the TSX
