KINGSTON, ON, March 6, 2012 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (TSXV: MGR) announces that it has acquired the right to earn a 100% interest in the Gullrock West property, comprised of four claims (31 units) covering 1,240 acres (496 ha), to fill the gap between Murgor's Gullrock Property and Goldcorp Inc.'s Campbell-Red Lake property ten kilometres east of the town of Red Lake, Ontario.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Murgor's expanded Gullrock Property will consist of twelve mining claims covering 1,905 hectares adjoining Goldcorp's Red Lake property to the east, ten kilometres on strike with the Campbell-Red Lake Gold Mine. The Gullrock Property covers a strike extent of over seven kilometres of what is known as the "Mine Trend" south-east of the Campbell-Red Lake Gold Mine. The "Mine Trend" is a structural lineament that hosts the Campbell-Red Lake, Cochenour-Willans and MacKenzie Gold Mines where more than 20 million ounces of gold have been mined to date. The Gullrock Property also covers the same stratigraphic units as the Campbell-Red Lake Mine, including mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks of the prolific Balmer Assemblage, immediately north of the unconformity with the younger rocks of the Confederation Assemblage. The Balmer Assemblage hosts all the major producers of the Red Lake Belt. Despite the fact that the Gullrock Property bears geology very similar to the Campbell-Red Lake Mine setting, the Gullrock Property has seen very limited exploration work and its exploration potential is deemed excellent. Through an extensive compilation of previous work, Murgor has already identified untested geophysical anomalies on the property that coincide with gold in soil geochemical anomalies.
There has been significant interest in the immediate area recently with Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. announcing in a press release dated February 16th, 2012, that it had signed a Letter of Intent with Osisko Mining Corporation whereby Osisko has the right to acquire a 51% interest in Tri Origin's RLX property by funding $5.0 million in exploration and paying an aggregate of $800,000 in cash. Murgor's Gullrock Property is contiguous to the north of Tri Origin's RLX property.
Under the terms of the option agreement for the Gullrock West property, Murgor can earn a 100% interest by making aggregate cash payments of $78,000 and issuing a total of 200,000 common shares over a period of 48 months. The vendor will retain a 1.75% NSR royalty on the property. Half (0.875%) of this royalty may be purchased by Murgor at any time for $1,000,000. In addition, Murgor has a first right of refusal to purchase the other remaining half (0.875%) of the royalty. The transaction is subject to all regulatory approvals, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
