Xplore Announces Acquisition of Brazilian Exploration Company Baru Exploracao Mineral Ltda

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore or "the Company"), is pleased to announce the acquisition of Baru Exploração Mineral Ltda. ("Baru"), a Brazilian limited liability company.

Terms of Transaction

  • Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities (the "Shares") from the Baru shareholders, Giorgio Francesco Cesare De Tomi and Emerson Ricardo Ré (together, the "Vendors"), in consideration for the payment of USD$10,000 and the issuance of 500,000 XPLR common shares (the "Common Shares").

  • The acquisition does not constitute a fundamental change or result in a change of business for the Company, nor is it expected to result in a change of control of the Company within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V").

  • Issuance of the Common Shares shall be subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals including, without limitation, the approval of the TSX.V, and such other conditions, and will be subject to statutory hold periods under applicable Canadian securities legislation.

Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore, comments, "First and foremost, the acquisition formalizes our professional relationship with the Vendors with whom we have been working for the past year as we evaluate various opportunities in Brazil. The geology of Brazil is highly prospective for gold, copper and other commodities and numerous, highly prospective greenstone belts are largely unexplored given the countries focus on iron ore discoveries. Giorgio and Ricardo are established professionals with extensive knowledge of the various mineral opportunities throughout Brazil. Through their established professional network, they have already identified a number of prospective properties throughout Brazil that are seeking exploration investment. The acquisition of Baru provides a registered Brazilian entity able to transact on Brazilian properties quickly and seamlessly should a property meet our investment criteria. We look forward to working closely with both Giorgio and Ricardo to identify, acquire and explore promising gold and copper projects throughout Brazil."

About Baru

Baru is a Brazilian exploration company whose sole asset is the 3,435-hectare Pompeia East located in the Ouro Preto district, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 120 kms SE of Belo Horizonte.​ Access throughout the state of Minas Gerais is excellent and the state is the center of mining knowledge in Brazil. Pompeia East is located 15 kilometers east of the historic Passagem mine which produced over 2.0 M ozs of gold prior to being shut down in 1985. Historical records indicate that the Passagem mine operated for 266 years recovering gold from epithermal quartz-tourmaline veins averaging 6.0 g/t Au. The region is dominated by Archaen to Proterozoic aged volcano sedimentary rocks and Precambrian aged granitic intrusives.

Exploration to the west of the property identified high gold grades over 15.0 g/t in surface rock samples, trenches and auger drilling along a 400-500 metre strike length.

Baru's Pompeia East is a greenfields exploration asset with no modern exploration for gold. An initial exploration budget of US$15,000 is proposed to conduct surface mapping and sampling of the property.

What's the Next US Copper Mine? 26 Copper Projects to Watch

Companies with upcoming copper mines in the US could be poised to benefit from tailwinds in the sector, including the new administration promising to cut "red tape" for critical minerals projects.

Copper demand is climbing quickly in recent years because of the rapid urbanization of the global south as well as the developing energy transition sectors. However, current copper mines are increasing in age and there is a lack of new copper mines to replace them, both due to limited greenfield exploration and long permitting times.

This has put the world's copper supply in a difficult situation, and experts expect to see deficits begin to emerge in 2025.

Kiribati Explores Deep-Sea Mining Deal with China Amid Global Regulatory Talks

Kiribati is reportedly in discussions with China to explore deep-sea mining opportunities, signaling a potential shift in its approach to tapping into its vast offshore mineral resources.

The Pacific island nation holds the exploration rights to a 75,000 square kilometer area in the Pacific Ocean, a region believed to contain valuable deposits of cobalt, nickel, and copper — key materials for the global battery industry.

The talks between Kiribati and Chinese officials come after the collapse of a previous agreement with the Metals Company (TMC) (NASDAQ:TMC), a Canada-based deep-sea mining outfit.
