VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Silver Sun Resource Corp. (“Silver Sun” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the Company has entered into an agreement in principle for the exclusive mining rights to a near-term producing gold mine located approximately 10 kilometers from the Company’s existing, wholly-owned, Cherry Hill Gold Mine.
The mine is held by a private American Trust and consists of two patented load claims. The agreement provides Silver Sun with the exclusive underground mining rights for 20 years with a one time payment of US $25,000 and a 10% Net Profits Interest on all production. The Company has been granted two months to complete due diligence, which is intended to include detailed sampling and if required, mini bulk sampling. The private trust has held the property for approximately 60 years and historical assays provided to the Company from the mine (non 43-101 compliant) ranged from 1.6 to 18.0 oz/T. Initial grab samples taken from the mine and run at the Company’s lab (not ISO or 43-101 compliant) confirmed similar grades.
“This is an important step for the Company as we plan on having additional properties at various stages of development such that we can ensure continued growth over the coming years. We have evaluated a number of properties near Cherry Hill and this mine is the first that we have targeted,” stated Mark McLeary, president and CEO of Silver Sun. “We will apply all of the lessons learned from putting the Cherry Hill mine into production towards the evaluation and, potentially, the advancement towards production on this new property. As the mine is on patented land permitting requirements may be much less intensive than it was for Cherry Hill.”
Ian Foreman, P. Geo, is the Company’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for monitoring the supervision and quality control of Silver Sun’s sampling programs and who has reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this news release.
