The agreement will see 79 Resources issuing 80 million common shares to buy the outstanding Buck Gold common shares held by Ryan Kalt. This will offer the company a 100% interest in Buck Gold securities.
The deal awaits the approval of shareholders and regulators, with a shareholder meeting to clear the deal scheduled this August.
79 Resources CEO Steven Feldman said: “We are excited for this generational opportunity to acquire such a sizable and highly prospective land package ideally located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.
“Helicopter-based geophysical work and ground-based follow-up by Buck Gold has defined a number of immediate high-priority targets adjacent to Sun Summit that 79 Resources will move quickly to further explore once the transaction closes.”
