In the event that no definitive agreement is settled and executed within such period, the parties will form a joint venture with initial ownership interests in the Property as to 80% to Ginguro and 20% to Valterra.
About Ginguro Gold Pty Ltd.
Ginguro is a mineral exploration company focused on identifying and exploring epithermal vein projects with high-grade gold and silver potential. The founders have extensive experience exploring for epithermal gold throughout the Ring of Fire, an area defined by tectonic activity along the margin of the Pacific Plate. The Company's initial focus will be on identifying and exploring projects in Nevada. Ginguro has chosen to focus on highly fertile gold provinces within proven first world jurisdictions that offer a combination of security and upside. Upside is in the form of overlooked prospectivity in the case of Nevada, which remains one of the world's most well-endowed centers for gold mineralization where major global gold producers focus on Carlin-style sediment hosted gold deposits.
