The agreement will see 79 Resources issuing 80 million common shares to buy the outstanding Buck Gold common shares held by Ryan Kalt. This will offer the company a 100% interest in Buck Gold securities.

The deal awaits the approval of shareholders and regulators, with a shareholder meeting to clear the deal scheduled this August.

79 Resources CEO Steven Feldman said: “We are excited for this generational opportunity to acquire such a sizable and highly prospective land package ideally located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.

“Helicopter-based geophysical work and ground-based follow-up by Buck Gold has defined a number of immediate high-priority targets adjacent to Sun Summit that 79 Resources will move quickly to further explore once the transaction closes.”

The property comprises nine mineral claims totalling approximately 480ha and is located 2km from the boundary of Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi Project.
