Globex Mining options Carp property to Evion Group
Globex monetized its Nevada fluorspar asset while advancing core iron and gold projects toward feasibility.
Executive Summary
- Carp Property Option: Globex Mining Nevada Inc. (subsidiary) entered an option agreement with Evion Group NL to earn 100% interest in the Carp fluorspar property in Lincoln County, Nevada.
- Earn-in Terms: Evion must complete $3.75 million USD in work expenditures and pay $1.645 million USD cash plus issue $2.0 million USD in shares over four years (ending April 2030).
- Royalty Retention: Globex retains a 3% Gross Metal Return (GMR) royalty on the property, including a 10-mile area of influence.
- Property Background: The Carp property has historical production of ~44,900 tons grading 69% CaF2 (1958-1971). Recent 2024 mapping showed high fluorite grades up to 88.15% CaF2 and anomalous base metals.
- Strategic Context: This follows a pattern of monetizing non-core assets via option agreements while retaining royalty upside, similar to recent deals on Virgin Mountain (REE) and Golden Pike (Antimony/Gold).
Material Impact
- Incremental Monetization: The deal is consistent with Globex's established strategy of transferring development risk to partners while securing future cash flow and royalties. It does not represent a fundamental shift in the company's core valuation drivers.
- Cash Flow vs. Risk: While the $1.645 million cash commitment over four years provides some liquidity, it is not immediate capital injection. The primary benefit is risk transfer for the Carp property exploration.
- Market Expectation: Given the staking of the Carp claims in May 2025 and subsequent sampling results (NewsId 119713), an option agreement was a logical next step. It does not exceed expectations but confirms management's execution on asset monetization.
- Comparison to Core Assets: The Carp fluorspar project is significantly smaller in potential valuation impact compared to the Mont Sorcier Iron Feasibility Study (Q2 2026) or the Nordeau Gold high-grade discovery. It is a portfolio diversification move rather than a primary catalyst.
- Partner Risk: Evion Group NL is an Australian entity; while not explicitly detailed in this release, the success of the earn-in depends on their capital capacity and execution over four years.

Company Overview
- Business Model: Globex operates as a royalty portfolio company, acquiring properties and optioning them to junior operators who fund exploration in exchange for royalties (typically 1-3% GMR/NSR).
- Flagship Project - Mont Sorcier: A high-purity magnetite iron project in Quebec. Cerrado Gold is advancing the feasibility study with a target completion of Q2 2026. The project targets green steel markets with >67% Fe concentrate. Globex holds a 1% GMR royalty.
- Flagship Project - Nordeau: High-grade gold discovery on Cartier Resources' Cadillac property (Globex holds 3% GMR). Recent drilling has intersected zones up to 339 g/t Au over 0.5m, expanding the North Contact Zone.
- Other Key Assets: Bald Hill Antimony (Antimony Resources Corp.), Duquesne West Gold (Emperor Metals), and Lac Escale Lithium (Brunswick Exploration).
