Talon Announces Extension Agreement with Kennecott
Exploration (A Subsidiary of the Rio Tinto Group)
Road Town, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2019) - Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) announced today that its
wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Talon Nickel (USA) LLC (collectively,
"Talon"
or the
"Company"
), has entered into an
extension agreement (the
"Extension Agreement"
) in respect of the option agreement (the
"Option Agreement
") previously
entered into with Kennecott Exploration Company (
"Kennecott"
) on November 7, 2018.
Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, the Company has until February 28, 2019 to make an initial upfront payment of US$6
million (the
"Initial Payment"
) to Kennecott in order to make the Option Agreement effective.
In the event the Option Agreement
becomes effective, the Company will have the right to acquire up to a 60% interest in the Tamarack Project, subject to certain
terms and conditions.
In contrast, the failure by the Company to make the upfront payment to Kennecott would result in the
parties entering into a joint venture agreement under which Kennecott would have an initial 82.44% interest in the Tamarack
Project, while Talon would have an initial 17.56% interest in the Tamarack Project.
