HALIFAX, July 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Stockport Exploration Inc.
(TSXV: SPT) ("Stockport") is pleased to announce it has formally completed the cash and share option agreement with
Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV) of West Perth, Australia ("Ardiden") to acquire 100% of Stockport's
Seymour Lake concessions.
In order to complete the acquisition of the Seymour Lake concessions, Ardiden was required to pay total instalments to
Stockport of $350,000 and issue $250,000 of Ardiden shares. Since the
initial signing of the option agreement in 2016, Ardiden has made previous cash payments of $150,000 and issued $250,000 of Ardiden shares to Stockport, for a total
compensation of $1,000,000 to finalize the transfer of 100% of Seymour Lake to Ardiden. Seymour
Lake has an existing 3% net smelter royalty ("NSR") held by an independent third party, and Stockport maintains the option to
purchase a 1.5% NSR from the third party for payment of $1,000,000.
Seymour Lake is a lithium-beryllium-tantalum site located within the Caribou Lake Greenstone Belt, 230 kilometres
north-northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The property covers an area of approximately
five by six kilometres. The claim group purchased by Ardiden is located on an all-weather, year round, two-lane, main
haulage road and the project has excellent proximity to existing rail sidings on the main CN rail line, and close proximity to a
major power grid provided by Ontario Power Generation.
"The completion of the agreement with Ardiden shows the strong geological foundation at Seymour Lake and its surrounding
area. The sale provides a great opportunity for Stockport to further realize the value of its other properties in the
Crescent Lake area of Ontario," stated Jim Megann, CEO of
Stockport.
