VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) reports that it has amended its royalty agreement on the Cabin Gold project (the “Cabin Royalty Agreement”). The Cabin Royalty Agreement is held by Silver Range Resources (TSXV: SNG)(“Silver Range”). Pursuant to the Company’s Royalty Agreement with Silver Range, the Company is required to make an advance royalty payment of $30,000 on or before March 3, 2023 (the “2023 Advance Royalty Payment”). The Company and Silver Range Resources have agreed that the 2023 Advance Royalty payment shall be settled by the issuance of common shares in the capital of Rover Metals Corp. with a deemed price of $0.091 per common share resulting in the issuance of 329,670 of common shares in the capital of Rover Metals Corp. The Toronto Venture Exchange has approved the issuance and the common shares shall bear the TSXV’s standard regulatory hold period of four months.
Cabin Gold Project, NT, Canada
The Cabin Gold project is one of the Company’s two gold projects located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The project is considered to host high-grade gold in iron-formation, near to surface. The Bugow Iron Formation has been measured to extend approximately 15km at surface, and so far, remains open at depth with multiple documented twists and folds of the iron formation below surface. The project has a historic gold resource that has been both confirmed and expanded upon by the Company. A Phase 2 Exploration Program at the project that spanned from 2020 to 2022 (due to seasonality) uncovered multiple high-grade gold drill results. For a summary of results please refer to Company’s website. A later-stage geological comparable to the Cabin Gold project would be Sabina Gold and Silver’s Back River Gold project in Nunavut, Canada.
Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states “We have no immediate plans to resume exploration at the Cabin Gold project. Our focus for 2023 is the development of our claystone lithium project in southwest Nevada. We are actively monitoring Fortune Minerals’ progress in the area of the Cabin Gold project. If and when, Fortune Minerals breaks-ground on the construction of its NICO mine (cobalt-gold-bismuth), Rover management believes the timing would be right to resume exploration activities at Cabin. Another positive future catalyst for the jurisdiction would be Gold Terra Resources updating its resource disclosure at its Yellowknife City Gold project. Gold Terra is currently in the middle of its winter drilling program.
We still believe the future is bright for the Cabin Gold project. Iron-formation hosted gold projects in north-central Canada, specifically, the NWT and Nunavut, have a history of becoming mines. The historic Lupin Gold Mine is a good example, as is the Goose Gold Mine being built by Sabina Gold and Silver. On February 13, 2023, B2Gold Corp. announced its intent to acquire Sabina Gold and Silver. Of course, if Newmont were to also take serious interest in the Yellowknife City Gold project, that would be a real positive signal that things are heating up for gold mining in the territories. Rover holds a 100% ownership interest in the Cabin Gold project, and we continue to value the project as one of our core assets.”
