The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Further channel sampling work was completed by the optioners on the Veronneau property during mid-2016, returning additional results of 2.39g per tonne Au over a width of 4.65m.

"X-Terra’s strategy is to explore and develop the Veronneau discovery and build shareholder value."

Further grab and channel samples were obtained by X-Terra throughout its due diligence process and returned positive results.

X-Terra president and CEO Michael Ferreira said: “The signing of the exploration and option agreement to have an option to acquire up to a 60% interest in the Veronneau property is a pivotal moment for X-Terra as it begins to lay its foundation in the James Bay area in the province of Québec.

“X-Terra’s strategy is to explore and develop the Veronneau discovery and build shareholder value.”

Under the agreement, X-Terra can earn up to 60% undivided ownership interest in the 234 mining claims by paying $250,000 in cash over three years, and issuing five million common shares to the optionors over four years. The deal also requires X-Terra to invest $3.5m in mining exploration within a four-year period.

After fulfilling all these requirements, X-Terra will enter a 60%-40% joint venture agreement with the optionors.

Under the exploration and option agreement, X-will also transfer and assign to the optionors 70 mining claims located adjacent to the Veronneau property against a consideration of $5,000.
