ALX Uranium Corp. Announces Purchase Agreement for the Tango Property in Northern Saskatchewan
July 16 2018 - 7:57AM
ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the
“Company”) (TSXV:AL) (FSE:6LLN) (OTC:ALXEF) is pleased to
announce that the Company has signed an agreement to earn a 100%
interest in the Tango Property (“Tango”, or the “Property”) from DG
Resource Management Ltd. (the “Vendor”), a private company
controlled by a director of ALX. Tango consists of eight
claims totaling 13,709 hectares (33,876 acres) prospective for
nickel, copper and cobalt mineralization and is located
approximately 175 kilometres northwest of La Ronge, Saskatchewan,
Canada.
ALX believes that the Tango property has the
potential to host polymetallic mineral deposits, based on the
results of historical sampling and geological mapping programs.
Mineralization found within metasedimentary rocks southwest of Dot
Lake, near the center of the Property, has been traced over a
length of 2.0 kilometres (1.25 miles).
“Our acquisition of the Tango Property is
consistent with our commitment to mineral exploration in
Saskatchewan,” said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. “Tango
could host polymetallic mineralization and we intend to apply
leading-edge exploration methods to unlock its full potential.”
ALX’s acquisition of the Tango Property from a
company controlled by a director of ALX is a “related party
transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
(“MI 61-101”). The acquisition is exempt from the valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue
of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI
61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration paid by
ALX to the director’s company does not exceed 25% of ALX’s market
capitalization.
Details of the Tango Purchase
Agreement
The Vendor has agreed to sell and transfer to
ALX an undivided 100% interest in the Property for an initial
payment of $20,000 on signing of the purchase agreement (paid), and
an additional payment of $20,000 on closing of the transaction
(“Closing”), subject to a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”).
One-half of the NSR (i.e., 1.0%) can be purchased by ALX for $2.0
million at any time within five years from Closing. The Tango
purchase agreement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
About Tango
Tango is located in an underexplored area of the
Mudjatik Domain of northern Saskatchewan, where exploration for
uranium in the late 1970s discovered showings of gold, nickel,
cobalt and copper in surface sampling of outcrops. Airborne
electromagnetic surveys detected conductors that were not followed
up by diamond drilling when the uranium rush of the era subsided in
the early 1980s.
In 1979, Golden Eagle Oil and Gas Ltd. carried
out surface prospecting on Tango as part of a wider regional
exploration program for uranium and base metals. Lake sediment
samples taken by Golden Eagle in the Tango area showed anomalous
values of nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc. Grab samples from a
historical showing known as the Sunlite Trench returned the
following values*:

In 1980, Golden Eagle re-trenched and re-sampled
a gold-bearing quartz vein at the Sunlite Trench and recorded a
gold value of 18.0 grams/tonne in a grab sample, along with 0.16%
copper. Further work was recommended, but was not carried out and
the mineral permit lapsed in 1984. Other precious metals explorers
completed surface sampling for gold and follow-up ground
geophysical programs, but by 1992 exploration ceased without any
drilling having been carried out within the area of the
Property.
