C.ERKA

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - January 26, 2023 - Scout Minerals Corp. Corp. (CSE:SCTM) (“Scout” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to extend certain deadlines in the option agreement dated January 27, 2022 (the “Option Agreement”) between 1218802 BC Ltd. (the “Optionor”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Company has an option to earn a 75% interest in the McKinney exploration property (the “McKinney Property”).

The Company and the Optionor have amended the Option Agreement such that the deadline by which the Company must pay $50,000 and issue 250,000 common shares of the Company to the Optionor has been extended to June 30, 2023. As consideration for this extension, the Company has agreed to pay the Optionor $5,000. No other terms of the Option Agreement have been amended.

Scout’s President and CEO, Jeffrey Wilson stated “We are pleased to announce the amendment to the option terms, as this extension will allow the Company sufficient time to receive and evaluate all analytical and interpretive information generated from the first phase of work at McKinney. Analysis of this comprehensive dataset will allow management to contemplate future planning for the project and determine a possible next phase of work. Scout thanks the Optionor for its cooperation in reaching this amendment.

As announced by way of a news release dated November 15, 2022, the Company completed a first phase of exploration work at the McKinney Property and satisfied the minimum expenditure obligations required before the first anniversary of the Option Agreement. Final analytical results from the first phase of work are pending and will be reported as they become available.

About the McKinney Property

The Company secured an option to earn-in to an undivided 75% interest in the McKinney Property pursuant to the Option Agreement with 1218802 B.C. Ltd., dated January 27, 2022. The McKinney Property is located on the southeast slope of Mt. Baldy in southern British Columbia, approximately 25 kilometres northeast of the town of Osoyoos, British Columbia, and directly north of the past-producing Caribou-Amelia mine at Camp McKinney. The McKinney Property is composed of five mineral claims totalling approximately 1,289 hectares and covers a geological setting that is considered prospective for polymetallic vein mineralization similar to known gold-bearing mesothermal veins first discovered at the McKinney camp. Historical and more recent exploration campaigns have yet to fully evaluate the potential of the known mineralization discovered to date. The McKinney Property is accessible by a series of all-weather gravel logging roads that bring access both to the west and east sides.
