BVI-based exploration and development company Talon Metals Corp. provided an update on the Tamarack Project Nickel-Copper-PGE Project in the USA. Talon currently owns 18.45 per cent interest in the project, which is the main focus of its activities.
Talon Nickel (USA) LLC , the wholly-owned subsidiary of the BVI corporation, received formal notification from Kennecott Exploration Company that it has elected to grant Talon Nickel the exclusive option to purchase its 81.55% interest in the Tamarack Project, for a total price of US$114,000,000. In case the option will be exercised, Talon will become the owner of 100 per cent of the Project. The terms and conditions for the purchase transaction are set forth under the exploration and option agreement between the parties.
Talon Nickel has to inform Kennecott Exploration Company until November 6, 2017, as to whether it will exercise the purchase option. In case the option will be exercised, Talon Nickel is required to pay KEX a non-refundable deposit of US$14,000,000, and an additional US$100,000,000 within 18 months. If BVI company’s subsidiary chooses not to exercise the Purchase Option, the companies will enter into the Mining Venture Agreement and become joint venture partners.
