Xplore Resources Announces Completion of Acquisition of Valk Property in British Columbia

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) (“Xplore or “the Company”), announces that it has completed the acquisition of the Valk Project (the “Valk”) in British Columbia previously announced on November 5, 2020.

As per the terms of the Agreement, dated November 2, 2020, Xplore has acquired a 100% interest in the Valk Project by making a cash payment of C$ 100,000.00 and issuing 1.0 million shares of Xplore to Longford Capital Corp. (“Longford”). Longford maintains a 2% NSR Royalty on any future metal production.

The Valk claim ownership was transferred to Xplore on November 26, 2020.

Wes Hanson, President and CEO of Xplore, stated, “We are pleased to secure title to the Valk property and note that the claims are in good standing to October 2025. Our current Technical Report on the property, summarizing the exploration results to date, is available on SEDAR and our website for review. This acquisition allows the Company to proceed with future exploration at a pace that we control, providing us with flexibility to deploy our capital prudently. The copper sector is seeing renewed interest as a result of rising copper prices. Historic exploration at Valk has identified anomalous, widespread copper results in a region with demonstrated potential for significant copper discovery. We are currently evaluating alternatives for follow up exploration at Valk in H2, 2021.”
