Tres-Or Resources Ltd. ("Tres-Or") (TSX VENTURE:TRS) and Globex
Mining Enterprises Inc. ("Globex")
(TSX:GMX)(FRANKFURT:GIM)(OTCQX:GLBXF) are pleased to announce that
a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Globex Fontana
Gold Project has been completed (refer to news release dated July
5, 2011). Tres-Or has been granted an option (the "Option") to
acquire the interests of Globex in certain mineral claims in
Quebec, being a 75% interest in 16 claims and a 100% interest in a
further 6 claims, collectively known as the Fontana Gold Project.
The interests of Globex in the Fontana Gold Project are subject to
a 3% gross metals royalty and the 16 claims held by Globex as to
75% are also subject to a 15% net profits interest (the "NPI"),
both in favour of Globex. The Fontana Property is located 16km
northeast of Amos in Duverny Township, Quebec and is proximal to
the Company's advanced Duvay Gold Project and contiguous to the
Company's East Mac property
(http://www.tres-or.com/images/Fontana-Map-LRG.jpg).
In order to exercise the Option the Company is required to pay
Globex $400,000 (of which $25,000 was previously paid as a
non-refundable deposit) and is required to purchase the NPI from
Globex for a total of $1,200,000, payable in increments over 84
months.
According to Quebec government reports describing the historic
work carried out on Fontana, gold mineralization was discovered in
veins in the Fontana Fault in the 1930's. Considerable work
consisting of stripping, test pits, bulk testing and drilling has
occurred on the Fontana Gold Project in subsequent decades of the
1940s, the 1980s, and 1990s. Gold mineralization is associated with
pyrite and chalcopyrite rich quartz veins in the principal fault
structures and associated fractures mapped on the property. Gold is
often free gold and is erratic in distribution. Tres-Or has
sponsored detailed structural mapping as a preliminary part of its
evaluation and is compiling all the historic work associated with
several mineralized gold zones and the noncompliant NI 43-101
historic resource estimates on the property into its proprietary
Geographic Information System (GIS) database.
Laura Lee Duffett, President and CEO of the Company, a qualified
person by the Standards of National Instrument 43-101, is
overseeing the project and is responsible for the content in this
news release.
