Great Thunder has acquired a 100% interest, subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty, in the Southern Star property from the vendors for a cash deposit of $12,500 and the issuance of 450,100 common shares. Great Thunder has the right to purchase back 2% of the net smelter returns royalty at any time for $3m.
The newly acquired property has encouraging gold and base metal potential, with a historic silver intercept in the South-West section of the property.
Great Thunder announced it had secured a letter of intent for the acquisition on 21 April 2020. The acquisition secures Great Thunder’s strategic property package along the detour belt that has hosted world-class mines and deposits including Kirkland Lake Gold’s Detour Lake mine, which hosts gold reserves of 15.62Moz.
At the time, Great Thunder Gold CEO and President Richard Macey said: “The Southern Star acquisition, subject to a due diligence process, would significantly increase the company’s strategic position along the Detour trend belt as it would nearly quadruple our key land positioning. Such well-positioned landholdings provide a greater opportunity for discovery potential.
