MONTREAL, Sept. 2 /CNW/ --
Symbol & exchange: FGE-V
MONTREAL, Sept. 2 /CNW Telbec/ - Forest Gate Energy Inc. reports that it
has entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire the Pershing gold
property located near Val D'Or, Quebec from two private gold exploration
companies called Montigua Resources Inc. and Bermont Resources Inc.
Pershing is a gold exploration property consisting of 252 contiguous,
unpatented mining claims. Following the closing of the purchase, Forest
Gate will have a 100 percent interest in the Pershing property.
In consideration for the 100% interest in the claims, Forest Gate will
issue to Montigua and Bermont 3,000,000 Forest Gate common shares. In
addition, Montigua and Bermont will hold a 2% net smelter return royalty
on the Pershing gold property. One percent (1%) of the royalty can be
purchased by Forest Gate at any time following the completion of a
pre-feasibility study on the property. Forest Gate also holds a right of
first refusal on the sale or reassignment of the remaining 1% royalty.
The transaction is subject, among other conditions, to the approval of
the Board of each party to the transaction and TSX Venture Exchange
approval. Closing of the transaction is scheduled to take place on or
before September 10, 2010. A finder's fee of 150,000 Forest Gate common
shares will be paid to a consultant upon closing.
"Two types of mineralization were recognized on the Pershing property.
The first type is related to the banded iron formation in the
south-western part of the property, east of the Matchi-Manitou Lake. The
other type of mineralization known on the property is a mesothermal type
quartz-tourmaline vein containing gold." (source: InnovExplo Inc., Val
D'Or, 2006)
In 1996 a private company drilled the Pershing gold property and
intersected 15.54 grams of gold per ton over 1.50 metres, 11.59 grams of
gold per ton over 1.66 metres, and 19.23 grams of gold per ton over
1.33 metres in the banded iron formation. (source: MRB & Assoc., Val
D'Or, 2003)
In the 2000-2003 period Montigua and Bermont "partially mapped a
hydrothermal alteration zone…at the margins of these alteration zones
were quartz-tourmaline veins carrying gold, the highest value noted
49.04 grams gold per ton. These veins are dilatants, flat-lying and
contain structural attributes that resemble the flat veins at Sigma
(Century) Mine. (source: MRB)
The former-producing Chimo mine, operated by Cambior Inc., located
approximately 12 kilometres west of the Pershing gold property is an
example of an adjacent area where a significant portion of gold was
produced from mineralized and sheared banded iron formation. (source:
InnovExplo Inc.) From 1989 to 1996, Cambior mined 1.6 million tonnes at
a grade of 3.8 grams of gold per tonne.
