Underway in Nevada
Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 18, 2020) -
Cortus Metals Inc.
(TSXV: CRTS)
(
the
"
Company
", or "
Cortus
"), announces that it has entered into a purchase option agreement with
Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FRE) ("
Fremont
") to acquire 100% interest in 114 unpatented mining claims
and a 50% interest in 95 claims that Fremont owns jointly with Intermont Resources, LLC ("
Intermont
"),
collectively known as the Goldrun property, located in Nevada, USA. As consideration for the claims, the
Company paid $20,000 in cash and will issue 250,000 common shares, subject to the approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange. Cortus also paid Fremont $8,000 in cash to acquire data in relation to the Rock
Creek and Roberts Creek properties, both located in Nevada. These acquisitions are in addition to an
option the Company holds to acquire from Intermont a further package of wholly and jointly owned claims
at Goldrun as well as the Roberts Creek and Rock Creek properties for 200,000 common shares each.
Cortus CEO, Sean Mager commented, "We are pleased to have secured the property and data
packages at the Goldrun, Rock Creek and Roberts Creek project areas. Field-based exploration is in
progress as we evaluate our portfolio of 23 projects, including our new acquisitions. Newly acquired
geological, geochemical, and geophysical data, in conjunction with historical data sets, are delineating
compelling new targets as we advance these projects to drill-ready status. We look forward to sharing
these stories in the weeks ahead."
The Goldrun project spans 209 highly prospective claims located along the southwest extension of the
Getchell Trend within the Golconda Basin. The Rock Creek project area is a contiguous land package to
the north-northeast of the Goldrun project area, within the same prospective geology and basin as
Goldrun, where the Getchell Trend would be intersected by the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend. The
Roberts Creek project is located under shallow gravel cover just 5km south of McEwen Mining's Gold
Bar Mine, on the flanks of the Roberts Mountains. (See Fig. 1)
