VANCOUVER

/CNW/ -
Silver Range Resources Ltd.
(TSX-V:SNG) ("Silver
Range") has finalized a letter of intent (the "LOI") under which it has sold its Cabin Lake property in
the
Northwest Territories
to Rover Metals Corp. (TSX-V:ROVR) ("Rover").
The Cabin Lake property is located 110 kilometres northwest of
Yellowknife
and 38 kilometres north
of Behchoko in the Tlicho Traditional Territory, central Northwest Territories. The property hosts
high-grade gold in iron formation within Archean metasedimentary rocks. Historic work by Cominco
Ltd., Freeport McMoRan Gold Company, and Aber Resources Ltd. centred on a steeply east-
plunging package of folded sulphidized iron formation containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and
arsenopyrite. Three historic resources are reported on the property in the NWT Minerals Database
(NORMIN 085OSW0001). On the south limb of the fold, Aber Resources Ltd. reported a resource
of 100,000 tons at 0.3 ounces per ton gold in their annual report while on the north limb of the fold,
Energy Mines and Resource Canada Mineral Bulletin MR223 records a mineral inventory of 43,900
tonnes at 4.39 grams per tonne gold in the Bugow Zone and 18,100 tonnes grading 7.89 grams per
tonne gold in the Andrew North Zone. The reader is cautioned that these resources are historic in
nature, do not comply with National Instrument 43-101 and have not been verified by Silver Range.
The LOI was originally signed on
November 7, 2017
and amended on
August 9
, 2018. Under the
terms of the LOI as amended, Silver Range has received cash payments totaling
$40,000
and has
retained a 2% net smelter return royalty interest ("the Royalty"). Rover may purchase up to 1.5% of
the 2% Royalty for between
$750,000
and
$1,500,000
, based on the contained ounces in any future
resource identified on the property. The Agreement also requires Rover to make annual advance
royalty payments of
$20,000
up to a maximum of
$220,000
. Such payment will commence in 2020.
The Royalty applies to all production from the claim comprising the property and any subsequently
acquired mineral rights within 5 kilometres of the claim boundaries.
