(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/18/12 -- Geomega Resources Inc. ("GeoMegA" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GMA) announces the signing of an Option Agreement between certain Vendors and GeoMegA whereby the Vendors granted GeoMegA the option to earn a 100 % undivided interest in 15 mining claims completing the Oriana Tungsten project.
GeoMegA shall have the option to acquire 100% by making aggregate payments of $150,000 and issuing shares with an aggregate value of $150,000 (based on the ten day volume weighted average price as of issuance, minimum of $0.35 per common share) on or before the Third anniversary date to the Vendors as follows:
The Vendors shall be entitled to a 2% royalty on net smelter return from production from the 15 claims. GeoMegA may at any time purchase 50% of the royalty from the Vendors for $1,000,000.
All securities issued under the Option Agreement are subject to a four (4) month hold period. The Option Agreement remains subject to acceptance by the TSXV.
"A short exploration program (outcrops sampling and 363 m of diamond drill) performed last March and April on the Oriana project revealed potential for tungsten (scheelite minerals) and gold (smoky quartz veins) within a favourable geological setting. Complete assays are expected in July. Oriana is 15 km west of the town of Chapais, road accessible and within 1 km from highway 113N, rail road and an electric power line. The technical team will work to reveal the full potential over the next two years." comments Simon Britt, CEO of GeoMegA.
