Pelangio Exploration has signed an option and joint venture agreement with Roscan Minerals Corporation to establish an earn-in arrangement to advance the Dormaa Project in Ghana.

Under the deal,  Roscan will fund $2m for exploration that will be completed by Pelangio on the Dormaa Project over three years in order to earn its 50% interest. Roscan also has to pay Pelangio $160,000 over two years.

Pelangio Exploration president and CEO Ingrid Hibbard said: “Unregulated artisanal and mechanised alluvial operations surrounding the property were identified using satellite imagery and appear to be sourced by large gold-in-soil anomalies on the Dormaa Project.

"During the first year of option agreement, Roscan will fund $300,000 to cover expanded gold-in-soil geochemical surveys."

“During the first year of the option agreement, Roscan shall fund $300,000 to cover expanded gold-in-soil geochemical surveys, prospecting and approximately 3,000m of reverse circulation and air core or rotary air-blast drilling to be completed by Pelangio.”

The Dormaa Project is an 86.44km² concession governed by a prospecting licence in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana, West Africa.
