Xplore Announces Earn-In Option Agreement on Perrigo Lake Property, Red Lake Mining District, Ontario

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore or "the Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with 1544230 Ontario Inc. and Gravel Ridge Resources Inc. (together the "Vendors") to earn a 100% ownership interest in the 166 contiguous cell claims (3,370 Ha) Perrigo Lake Property ("Perrigo Lake") located in the McNaughton Township, Red Lake Mining Division, ON., Canada.

Summary of the terms of the proposed transaction:

Under the terms of the Agreement, Xplore will acquire a 100% ownership interest in Pringle Lake by completing the following:

  • The Company obtaining all necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V"); and

  • Making a cash payment of C$18,000 to the Vendor on signing of the Agreement (completed); and

  • Issuing to the Vendors 120,000 shares of XPLR within five (5) days of TSX-V approval of the Agreement; and

  • Making a cash payment of C$20,000 and issuing 120,000 shares of XPLR on or before the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date; and

  • Making a cash payment of C$28,000 on or before the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date; and

  • Making a final cash payment to the Vendors of C$30,000 on or before the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

On completion of the above noted cash payments and share issuances, Xplore will have earned a 100% interest in the Pringle Lake Property and the Vendors would retain a 1.75% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on all future metal production. The Company may purchase 0.05% of the NSR for C$600,000. The remaining 1.25% NSR is subject to a pre-existing agreement with and arms length third party.

The transaction and the issuance of the shares contemplated by the Agreement are subject to the acceptance of the TSX.V. Any securities issued will be subject to applicable statutory hold periods for a period of four months from the date of issuance.

Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore, notes, "Perrigo Lake provides a third property in the Red Lake Mining Division, one of the premier locations in Canada for the discovery of gold mineralization. Ontario Geological Survey maps suggest that the property is dominated by felsic to mafic volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks and metasedimentary rocks with the potential to host gold mineralization. Gold was actively mined at the Uchi mine, 10 kms to the southwest, from 1939 to 1943, with over 100,000 ounces of historical production. Perrigo has not been systematically explored and we look forward to initiating exploration at our latest project. Airborne magnetic surveys at Pringle and Upper Red Lake are scheduled to commence shortly and we expect that we will be able to include Perrigo Lake in the scope of work. Our plan is to complete reconnaissance mapping and sampling of all three Red Lake properties in the fall."

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Group Eleven Surges 69 Percent on Assay Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

The US Federal Reserve met on Tuesday (May 6) and Wednesday (May 7) for the third time in 2025. Ultimately, the committee decided to maintain its benchmark rate in the 4.25 to 4.5 percent range that was last set in November 2024.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited balance in the central bank’s dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, but noted that the Trump administration's tariffs have been more aggressive than anticipated. This was a prime factor in the Fed's rate decision — officials are waiting for more data on how tariffs will affect inflation and employment.

7 Copper ETFs and ETNs

There’s more than one way to invest in copper. In addition to buying shares of copper stocks, investors can gain exposure through copper exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or copper exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

For the uninitiated, ETFs are securities that trade like stocks on an exchange, but track an index, commodity, bonds or a basket of assets like an index fund. In the case of base metal copper, there are various options — an ETF can track specific groups of copper-focused companies, as well as copper futures contracts or even physical copper.

ETNs also track an underlying asset and trade like stocks on an exchange, but they are more like bonds — they are unsecured debt notes issued by an institution, and can be held to maturity or bought and sold at will. The main disadvantage to be aware of is that investors risk total default if an ETN’s underwriter goes bankrupt.

The new data reportedly makes Vicuña one of the world's largest copper, gold and silver resources, and places it among the top 10 copper resources worldwide by size.

"Filo del Sol has been one of the most significant greenfield discoveries in the last 30 years and an amazing journey for all those that have been involved," said Lundin Mining President and CEO Jack Lundin in a press release.

Copper Crunch: China's Stockpiles Depleting, US Demand Rising

Copper prices are being pushed skyward as China's stockpiles sit on the verge of depletion and as US demand for the red metal surges, fueled by looming trade restrictions under the Trump administration.

According to Mercuria, the market is undergoing “one of the greatest tightening shocks” in its history.

“At the current pace of draws, those Chinese inventories could deplete (to zero) by the middle of June,” Nicholas Snowdon, head of metals and mining research at the commodities trading house, told the Financial Times.
