Eureka Options CKN Property near Gibraltar Mine

Eureka Resources Inc. (TSXV:EUK) (“Eureka” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement dated April 5, 2017 to acquire a 100% interest in the CKN property (the “Property”) adjacent to the Gibraltar Mine in the Cariboo Mining Division of British Columbia. The Property consists of two claims, totalling 1,356 hectares, and is accessible by road from Williams Lake.
The claims are located adjacent to the northeast boundary of the operating Gibraltar Copper – Molybdenum mine of Taseko Mines Ltd. Gibraltar commenced operations in 1972 and, to date, has mined in excess of 450 metric tonnes, grading 0.33% copper and 0.008% molybdenum, from four distinct pits. Eureka acquired the claims comprising the Property because they are centered on a very strong magnetic feature along the contact of the Gibraltar host batholith and the Cache Creek sedimentary sequence. The magnetic feature is synonymous with skarn deposits, similar in nature to the Craigmont deposit in the Highland Valley. Exploration to date on the CKN Property identified Copper values in rocks from trace up to 13,967 ppm and Gold values in soils from trace up to 4.8 g/t. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Property has never been systematically mapped or sampled so readers should not assume that the Property will have the same, or similar, mineralization as the Craigmont or Gibraltar deposits.
The terms of the Option Agreement are as follows:

Due Date	Minimum Expenditure	Cash	Shares
Execution Date	$Nil	$15,000	50,000
On or before July 1, 2018	$40,000	$20,000	100,000
On or before July 1, 2019	$80,000	$30,000	100,000
On or before July 1, 2020	$100,000	$50,000	200,000
On or before July 1, 2021	$Nil	$100,000	250,000

 
The vendor will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Property. The Company will have the right to purchase 1% of this Royalty for $1,000,000 any time prior to commercial production. The Option Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
Eureka’s President and CEO, Michael Sweatman, stated “This property adds to our land package in the Cariboo and is another of our recent acquisitions that are easily accessible, and close to existing deposits. Our technical group has commenced a review of data acquired as part of the transaction.”
