Kenorland Minerals has agreed to divest a 100% interest in and to the Fox River property in the Fox River Belt, Manitoba, Canada, to Superior Nickel.

Under the deal, Superior will issue 2,665,000 common shares in its capital to Kenorland. It will also grant a 2% net smelter return royalty on the property to Kenorland.

Kenorland Minerals president and CEO Zach Flood said: “This transaction represents one of the ways Kenorland is able to create shareholder value and upside through its generative efforts, which does not require significant capital expenditures through direct exploration on the ground.

“We are very excited to see what Superior Nickel will discover in the Fox River Belt, a vastly under-explored, yet highly prospective geologic feature within the Circum-Superior Belt.”

The Fox River Belt is a portion of the Circum-Superior Belt in northern Manitoba. It is analogous to Manitoba’s Thompson Nickel Belt (TNB) and the Cape Smith Belt (CSB) of northern Quebec.

Located within the Fox River Belt, the Fox River Sill comprises a layered mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex.
