(“Brixton”) the Company has sold its Trapper Lake mineral claims, consisting of an area of 32,616 hectares, located in the Sutlahine River area of northwestern British Columbia (northern tip of British Columbia’s famed Golden Triangle) for 350,000 shares of Brixton. The Trapper Lake property adjoins the Thorn Project owned by Brixton.
A finder’s fee may be paid in connection with the sale of the claims. The finder’s fee is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Tim Fernback, President & CEO of Surge Exploration states “We are very pleased to prove out our business model of finding great properties and then selling them to strategic investors. This land bank concept has great economic potential for our shareholders. By strategically selling these mineral claims to Brixton, we become an equity owner in Brixton going forward and this is a good win for our shareholders.”
Surges’ 2019 mineral staking program acquired an area of 213 sq. km within this regionally important geological and structural trend with a large portion of the mineral claims being adjacent to Brixton’s Thorn Project with the balance covering prospective open ground containing numerous B.C. Minfile showings with Cu, Ag, Au values adjoining the boundaries of the Golden Bear Mine of Chevron Resources, a 480,000 oz Au past producer. In Brixton’s news release dated July 15, 2019 (Brixton News Release) they reported results from drill hole THN19-150, which was drilled to 829.06 metres depth at the Oban diatreme breccia pipe within the Camp Creek copper corridor. Structural mapping and soil-rock geochemistry at the Chivas zone and relogging of select core from the Glenfiddich zone were also conducted. The objective of the program was to test for porphyry mineralization at depth at the Oban zone and to refine the two porphyry targets, Chivas and Camp Creek, for the next round of drilling.
