Sydne -
Thomson Resources Ltd. (ASX:TMZ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement with
Silver City Minerals Ltd. (ASX:SCI) with respect to its Wilga Downs prospect (Byrock Project, Figure 1 in link below) located approximately 80 kilometres north of Cobar, New South Wales.
The agreement is over EL 8136, which hosts a strong and discrete, late-time electromagnetic conductor of the type that could be the geophysical signature of a significant copper sulphide accumulation.
The character of the conductor shows strong similarities to those that led to the discoveries of the Tritton copper-silver-gold deposit in similar rocks to the southeast.
Thomson is pleased to enter into a partnership with an experienced explorer to progress this discovery effort.
Silver City can earn an 80% interest in the project by spending $800,000 over four years. Silver City has agreed to spend a minimum of $100,000, including 350 metres of drilling before it can withdraw.
Once Silver City has earned its 80% interest it will free-carry Thomson Resources until commencement of a definitive feasibility study when both companies will contribute to expenditures pro-rata.
This agreement will allow Thomson Resources to better advance its Bygoo tin discovery near Ardlethan, NSW.
