CMC Options a Third High-Grade Copper-Silver Property in the Highly Prospective Gander Subzone in Central Newfoundland - Rodney Pond

CMC Metals Ltd. (TSXV:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTC PINK:CMCZF) ("CMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired an option to earn up to a 100 percent working interest in the Rodney Pond Property in the highly prospective Gander Subzone in Central Newfoundland, subject to an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Nancy, Stephen and Larry Rogers (the "Prospectors") of Hare Bay, Newfoundland. Terms of the option agreement are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay $10,000 (CDN) and 50,000 common shares of CMC Metals Ltd. upon Execution of the Agreement and additional payments will be made on the first anniversary and in the following years to the Prospectors as follows:

  • 1st Anniversary Date, January 6, 2023: $10,000 cash and 50,000 common shares;
  • 2nd Anniversary Date, January 6, 2024: $15,000 cash and 75,000 common shares;
  • 3rd Anniversary Date, January 2, 2025: $25,000 cash and 125,000 common shares;
  • In addition, the Agreement provides for a conventional royalty of 2.0% of which 1.0% can be purchased at any time by the Company from the Prospectors for $1,000,000.

The Rodney Pond (copper-silver+/gold+/-lead+/- zinc) Property, located approximately 17 kilometers south of Gander, is road accessible via a series of woods roads. The property comprises 27 claims (approximately 675 hectares) and is underlain by the Jonathans Pond Formation of the Gander Group. Limited exploration work on the property to date has served to identify a 2-meter-wide vein of massive chalcopyrite and bornite. Samples taken from different portions of the vein returned assays from grab samples of outcrop of up to 7.1% copper, 27.2 g/t silver and 233 ppb gold. Assays also indicate elevated levels of iron, zinc, chromium and lead. Limited prospecting identified mineralization over an area in excess of 500 * 300 meters, with most of the property to be yet examined in any detail.

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO noted, "Rodney Pond is a great addition to our extensive portfolio of properties in western and eastern Canada. Newfoundland is my home province, so it is great to now be working there again. Collectively our three properties (Rodney Pond, Bridal Veil and Terra Nova) in the Gander Zone, now comprise of a total of 224 claims for an approximate total land area of 6,196 hectares. These properties provide CMC with exposure to high grade copper-silver polymetallic plays at a very reasonable cost. We have already been working with the Rogers Family at the Terra Nova Property and find them to be great prospectors and nice people - typical Newfoundlanders. We look forward to advancing our exploration in Newfoundland with the goal to discover a high-grade polymetallic deposit. Early investigations indicate that these are all likely intrusion related systems and possibly mesothermal in origin."

Mr. John Bossio, Chairman of the Company noted: "This is the third property acquisition for us in the highly active Gander Zone exploration play. Newfoundland is one of the best jurisdictions in Canada to explore, and we have already experienced benefits such as an extended exploration season in our work programs and that will provide more regular news flow. On behalf of the Board, I thank the Rogers family for again presenting us with the opportunity to acquire a prospective copper-silver polymetallic project at reasonable terms."
