Rover Metals has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Centennial Mining from a US-based company.
Centennial Mining owns a 100% stake in the Toquima precious metals property in Corcoran Canyon, Nevada, US.
Rover Metals CEO Judson Culter said: “The Toquima Property brings Rover Metals a lower cost per meter precious metals exploration project to offset the somewhat more expensive and seasonal exploration costs of our existing Northwest Territories, Canada assets.
“Additionally, having recently completed our US OTCQB listing we need a US based asset in a mining friendly jurisdiction. The Toquima Property is available for year-round exploration.”
The Toquima gold and silver property consists of 253 contiguous, unpatented mineral claims with an area of about 1,958.6ha.
It is located on the eastern edge of the Toquima Range that is underlain by volcanic rocks of upper oligocene to lower miocene age.
