Ginguro Jake will be required to incur an expenditure of $3m over a five-year period in exchange for the agreed stake under the deal.
The company is also expected to make payments totalling $25,000 to Renaissance before the first anniversary of the agreement.
Renaissance will immediately exercise its option of acquiring 100% of the project by issuing 372,541 common shares to Ivy Minerals.
The Jake Creek project contains a low-sulphidation epithermal gold target on the western margin of the Northern Nevada Rift.
Follow-up activity was initially not performed at the site, despite the discovery of historical gold drill intercepts.
