the Agreement allow AEMC to purchase a 100% working interest in the Peter Lake property by:
-
- Making cash payments to CPC totaling CDN$2.5 million over a 24-month period, with CDN$375,000 due by
October 29, 2017; CDN$375,000 due by December 28, 2017; CDN$750,000 due by September 29, 2018 and CDN$1,000,000 due by

Gary Billingsley, President states, “The Company is pleased to have signed a formal agreement for the sale of
the Peter Lake property. The transaction allows CPC to participate in what we certainly see as the significant upside
potential of the project, through the NSR and through share ownership of the company developing the project. Perhaps more
significantly, the deal allows us to begin exploration work on our Nevada gold project (see news release dated June 29, 2017) which
will become our focus in the near term.”
