AFF · Price

Executive Summary

  • Affinity Metals entered a three‑year option agreement to acquire 100 % of the 2,500‑hectare Discovery Lake property in Ontario’s high‑grade gold‑bearing Abram‑Minnitaki Lake Greenstone Belt.
  • To exercise the option, Affinity will pay $64,000 in cash and issue 200,000 common shares; the Optionor retains a 1.5 % net smelter return royalty, with an optional purchase of a 0.5 % royalty for $500,000.
  • The transaction expands Affinity’s land portfolio into a prolific gold district adjacent to Heritage Mining’s Drayton‑Black Lake project, supporting planned exploration programs.

Key Details

  • Property: Discovery Lake, >2,500 ha, located near Sioux Lookout, Ontario, within the Abram‑Minnitaki Lake Greenstone Belt.
  • Option Term: 3 years; cash consideration of $64,000 plus issuance of 200,000 common shares.
  • Royalty Structure:
  • Initial net smelter return royalty retained by Optionor – 1.5 %.
  • Affinity may purchase a 0.5 % royalty for $500,000, reducing the Optionor’s royalty to 1.0 %.
  • Share Hold Period: Shares issued are subject to a hold period of four months and one day per CSE policies.
  • Strategic Rationale: Property lies adjacent to Heritage Mining’s Drayton‑Black Lake project, which has recent broad gold intercepts in quartz veins; the area is known for high‑grade gold deposits (>30 M oz produced historically).
  • Future Plans: Affinity intends to commence an exploration program on Discovery Lake “getting boots on the ground” (details pending).
