Under the revised terms, the Company and Rossland vendors (two private companies 0704723 BC LTD and 0811662 BC LTD) have agreed to reduce the exploration expenditure requirements for Stage 2 and have further agreed to remove the issue of all remaining Currie Rose shares (8 million shares) in exchange for increased cash payments as set out below.
Stage 2 – April 2019 – April 2020
- Minimum expenditure of $500,000 (previously $750,000) for each company;
- Payment of $125,000 on the 2nd anniversary (per company);
Stage 3 – April 2020-April 2022

- Payment of $175,000 on the 4th anniversary (per company).
All other conditions of the agreements remain unchanged.
Michael Griffiths, Currie’s President and CEO, commented; “The revised terms will give all parties greater flexibility into the future and we look forward to fruitful exploration in the near term.”
Mr Griffiths further commented: “The Rossland Gold Project covers a large proportion of the Rossland Mining Camp excluding the former Le Roi, War Eagle and Centre Star gold mines that produced more than 2.7 million ounces of gold between 1894 and 1941. We identify the project as an advanced brownfields opportunity with little co-ordinated modern exploration due to previous fragmented claim ownership and the recent work by Currie has identified significant geophysical anomalies along strike from the historic gold mines as well as other underexplored vein gold targets.” (Refer: Press Release – Rossland Project Update 2019-03-04).
