The foregoing additional TomaGold shares would be issued in tranche of up to 250,000 shares for each 250,000 ounces of new gold resources disclosed by TomaGold.
"We welcome TomaGold as a partner on the Fancamp and Embry projects," said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "Optioning the Fancamp and Embry properties is part of Murgor's continued strategy to divest of certain asset to finance its activities through non-dilutive means, while gaining strong exploration partners. In the difficult market conditions we are currently experiencing, Murgor holds the distinct advantage of owning valuable assets including NSR Royalties and sizeable in situ mineral resources to ensure the company's long term viability. Other assets also considered for divestiture include certain interests in the Windfall Gold Property of Quebec, Murgor's 100% owned Wim and Hudvam copper-gold-zinc deposits in Manitoba, and Murgor's 40% interest in the Golden Arrow property east of Timmins, Ontario."
