Shares Issued: 8,964,004
TORONTO, Sept. 3 /CNW/ - SABINA RESOURCES LIMITED (TSX-V:SBB) is pleased to announce that its principal activity currently remains drilling on the Redaurum property located in the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario. The Redaurum Property is under option to Placer Dome Canada (CLA) Limited (Placer Dome), a subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc. (TSX:PDG). Sabina and Placer Dome are in the process of final completion of the terms of the agreement. As reported previously, drilling has started on this property, with 4 holes having been drilled to-date, in close proximity to the boundary with the Madsen Property. No information has been received regarding this drilling pending completion of the final agreement, which is expected shortly. Placer Dome has the right to acquire an initial 50% interest in Sabina's 80% owned Redaurum property (the remaining 20% interest is owned by Claude Resources Inc. (TSX:CRJ)) by paying to Sabina $100,000 cash and spending $2,000,000 in exploration over a four year period; including payment of $25,000 upon signing (received) and performing a minimum of $250,000 in exploration in the first year. Upon Placer earning its initial interest in the property, Sabina shall transfer a 5% interest to Claude in return for Claude having waived its first right of refusal in favour of Placer Dome. Within 60 days of Notice of Formation of the Joint Venture, Sabina may elect to have Placer Dome fund all further expenditures on the Redaurum property up to production in return for an additional 5% interest leaving Sabina a 20% carried interest. The Company is not aware of any material changes that have affected the recent market activity, although the Company is continuing to seek additional properties for acquisition.
