About Voltage Metals Inc.
Voltage is a mineral exploration company with a highly experienced team focused on the St. Laurent Project which covers 4,170 hectares and is located in St. Laurent Township, Northern Ontario, 160 kilometres northeast of Timmins, 50 kilometres south of Detour Lake Mine and 20 kilometres southwest of Casa Berardi Mine.
Past shallow drilling at the St. Laurent Project identified disseminated multi-element sulphide mineralization across notable widths trending towards a large gabbro-hosted magnetic feature. The Ni-Cu-Co-Au-Pt-Pd zone is open along strike and at depth. This mineralized zone, importantly, is coincident with a strong 600-metre long EM anomaly.
Drilling to date has not yet intersected massive sulphides, and the EM anomaly has not yet been explained. The disseminated sulphide halo provides an important vector to guide the upcoming future exploration work.
Voltage is party to a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated June 20, 2020, as amended March 1, 2021, with Pancontinental Resources Corp. ("Pancon"), pursuant to which Voltage will be acquiring from Pancon a 100% interest in the St. Laurent Project, along with the Montcalm Project, the Nova Project and the Gambler Project, with the latter three projects being early-stage exploration projects located in the Montcalm Greenstone Belt, approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Timmins, Ontario. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Voltage has two remaining payments to Pancon as follows: (i) $300,000 no later than September 30, 2021; and (ii) $200,000 no later than December 31, 2021.
Private Placement
Prior to or concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that Mansa will carry out a private placement financing (the "Concurrent Financing") to raise up to $2 million in gross proceeds for the purposes of funding its working capital requirements and carrying out exploration work on the properties of Voltage and Mansa. The terms of the Concurrent Financing will be determined by Voltage and Mansa.
