Saint Jean Carbon Signs 25 Year Surface Rights Term Sheet
OAKVILLE, Ontario, March 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saint Jean Carbon Inc. (“Saint Jean” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:SJL) (OTCQB:TORVF), a carbon science company engaged in the design and build of green energy storage, green energy creation and green re-creation through the use of carbon materials is pleased to announce the Company has signed a term sheet with the land owner (4300351 Canada Inc.) of the Montpelier mining claims the company announced on March 27 2018 located in South Western Quebec. The agreement is for 25 years and gives the Company the right to work the property and full access. The terms of the agreement are; the Company will make a onetime payment of $500,000.00 payable in the capital stock of the Company upon completion of the surface rights agreement(s). An issuance of a further 2,500,000 options to be at market price for three years, if the infill drill program is complete and a resource estimate of 10,000,000 tons of mineralized material is defined. Pay a yearly 5% Net Production Royalty (NPR) and a yearly 1.5% Gross Sales Royalty (GSR). A further 1,000,000 bonus shares will be issued, should Company receive the bulk sampling permits by December 15th, 2018. The transaction is subject to TSX Venture approval.
Paul Ogilvie, CEO, commented: “Our goal to hold the best properties in south western Quebec continues to grow, with the surface rights agreement, we can now file application to mine the property. We will work very closely with the land owner and start the process right away, this relationship with the landowner helps the company move forward towards future production of graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes.
The landowner group will do the contract mining of the property; primary crush, secondary crush and air classification (under licence from the Company). As there is no milling needed on the properties, the classified material will be shipped to the milling facility. Without the need for a mill on the property, this eliminates the need for tailings ponds, water usage, structures, fixed equipment, etc. The system was designed to be environmentally friendly, no blasting, no dust, no noise and will initially serve as the model for how the Company could run hundreds of small pits, instead of how traditionally massive pits are used.
The Company anticipates a late spring/early summer drill program of an estimated nine witness holes twined with the pervious historical holes. As an update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced on October 15th 2016; the Company expected to be completed by the end of January/February 2018 but due to the recent acquisitions, and the time needed to add the new property information into the PEA, the report will be further delayed with an estimated completion of up to 8 weeks.
