MGX Minerals Inc.
MGX has also agreed to acquire four million Units (the “Units”) of Belmont at a price of $0.05 per Unit in the form of a non-brokered private placement. Each Unit will consist of one common share of Belmont and one transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole warrant will permit the holder to acquire one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.08 in the first year and at $0.10 in the second year after closing. The Common Shares and Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period and subject to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) approval. Additionally, MGX will be granted warrants to purchase up to 10 million shares of Belmont, at a price of $0.20 per share, exercisable for a period of three (3) years.
Upon exercise of the full option agreement, MGX will become operator and the 50/50 Joint Venture will be formed with Belmont covering further exploration in the Kibby Basin, which may include additional exploration drilling, well testing operations, and extraction plant installation and operation. The Joint Venture will have access to MGX’s rapid lithium extraction technology.
About the Kibby Basin Lithium Brine Project
Kibby Basin is located in the western portion of the Great Basin in Nevada. The property covers 2,560 acres located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Kibby Flat is a dry playa and no springs or water sources occur on the Property. Geothermal research by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (“NvBMG”) identified three wells and springs in the region. All three sources indicated near-surface water. Nevada has abundant geothermal resources and NvBMG compilation has outlined areas with potential heat flow, based on surface temperatures of springs, drill hole-water temperatures, geothermal-related geochemical signatures, and associated geologic settings. These areas suggest zones of potential elevated heat flow.
Geologic research of the Kibby Basin has indicated that proximal rhyolitic flows and tuffs surrounding the basin could be a potential source of Li brine in the Kibby Basis Playa. In addition, the Kibby Basin is located within a geothermal cluster at a basin low setting. Regional geophysical signatures in the area reflect similar anomalies comparative to that of Clayton Valley, approximately 50km to the South, location of Abermarle’s Silver Peak Mine, the only North American lithium producer.
