  • Cash payments of CDN$390,000 over 3 years to PEMC;
  • Share payments of 1,325,000 to PEMC;
  • A minimum of CDN$1,000,000 of exploration expenditures at the Project, to be fully funded by CAVU

Please see the Transaction Details section below for more information on the Agreement. The planned work program will be developed in the coming months by CAVU Mining Corp. and will build upon previous drilling, geophysical and geochemical sampling programs completed by PEMC and previous operators.

"The proximity of the Kitimat property to a deep-water port is an important advantage," commented Brad Peters, President and CEO of Pacific Empire. "We look forward to following the progress of CAVU as they advance the Kitimat property in 2021."

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the Agreement, CAVU can earn a 100% interest in the Project by completing CDN$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project, paying PEMC an aggregate of CDN$390,000 in cash payments and issuing 1,325,000 common shares to PEMC by the third anniversary of the signing of the Agreement.

About the Kitimat Property

The Kitimat Property is an exploration stage porphyry copper-gold prospect that is vehicle-accessible and close to infrastructure. The 3,070 hectare property is situated 13 km by road from the port town of Kitimat where a deep-water port and hydroelectric power are located.

The property is underlain by Triassic to Jurassic Stikine volcanic rocks which have been juxtaposed against Late Cretaceous to Paleogene granodiorites and diorites of the Coast Plutonic Complex to the west. These units have been intruded by felsic, mafic and feldspar porphyry dikes of Late Cretaceous to Eocene age.

Historical exploration on the Kitimat property consists of 38 diamond drill holes totaling over 6,000 meters, soil, rock and silt surveys, airborne Mag-EM and IP surveys, trenching, and detailed mapping of over 1,000 rock exposures.

Historical drilling at the Jeanette target area intersected copper-gold-silver mineralization associated with quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration that locally overprints a propylitic assemblage. Localized potassic alteration is also present, though not necessarily associated with mineralized zones. At the Bowbyes target area, a large area (2,000 x 800 m) of quartz-sericite-pyrite altered intermediate volcanic rock has been mapped by previous operators in the area of Gossan Creek, where numerous NE trending porphyry dikes exist.

Mineralization encountered to date at the Jeanette area consists of chalcopyrite-pyrite as veins, quartz vein-fill and as disseminations within silicified zones. Copper and gold values are intimately associated with historical drill intercepts highlighted by 105 m grading 0.60% Cu and 1.15 g/t Au (DDH J-2010-07, Decade Resources Ltd.). Although chalcopyrite content locally is up to 15%, the predominance of pyrite suggests that a higher temperature chalcopyrite dominant sulphide assemblage is yet to be discovered. Skarn mineralization, consisting of semi-massive chalcopyrite-pyrite-magnetite over short intervals, has been encountered in historical drilling in the southern portion of the property.

S&P Global: Mining Sector Sees Mixed Q1, Next Calls for Copper, Battery Metals and M&A

As the global energy transition accelerates, the mining sector is increasingly navigating a complex landscape of shifting demand, volatile prices and growing sustainability priorities.

During an S&P Global webinar on the state of the mining industry in Q1, analysts highlighted renewable power development and mine-site electrification as key sustainability drivers shaping the future of resource extraction.

Copper, a key component of the energy shift, remains a focal point, with average prices holding at US$9,412 per metric ton in the first quarter, though forecasts suggest a slight decline to US$9,317 by year end.

China's Mineral Export Ban Reinforces Electric Royalties' Long-Term Strategic Focus on Projects Located in Safer Jurisdictions

Electric Royalties Ltd. (TSXV:ELEC)(OTCQB:ELECF) ("Electric Royalties" or the "Company") notes that the recent export restrictions imposed by China on critical minerals have sparked the very global concerns regarding supply chain vulnerabilities that the Company anticipated since its founding in 2020, when it first prioritized creation or acquisition of royalties on projects in safer jurisdictions.

China is the world's largest producer of germanium, gallium and antimony, which have niche but vital roles in clean energy, chip-making and defense1. Since 2023, Beijing has gradually added the minerals to its export controls list. In December 2024, it banned exports to the U.S. and announced further export controls for graphite2.
