Rusalka option agreement amended New Claymore Resources Ltd NCS Shares issued 4,165,775 Oct 5 close $0.53 Wed 7 Oct 98 News Release See Abaddon Resources Inc (ABA) News Release Mr. David Duval of Abaddon Resources reports Abaddon Resources and New Claymore Resources have amended the terms of the option agreement for their Rusalka prospect in the Buffalo Hills/Peace River area of Alberta. Under the amended agreement, Abaddon has agreed to expend $60,000 for a first phase exploration program on the property by Oct. 31, 1998; a further $50,000 on or before Dec. 31, 1998 and the balance, up to an equivalent of $1.50 per acre, by March 15, 1999. Furthermore, Abaddon has agreed to issue 50,000 shares to New Claymore by Dec. 1, 1998 and another 100,000 shares by April 15, 1999. The shares will be issued in blocks of 50,000 each and are subject to VSE acceptance of a geological report recommending further work on the property. The 230,000 acre Rusalka property is 20 kilometres west of Montello Resources' Legend property which appears to host a possible kimberlite discovery. An airborne geophysical survey is expected to begin on the Rusalka property in a matter of weeks and a follow-up program of ground geophysics and rock geochemistry will be completed shortly thereafter. These programs should bring the Rusalka property to the drill ready stage by year end. Kimberlite bodies normally occur in clusters and the Rusalka prospect is ideally situated to capitalize on any kimberlite discoveries made on adjoining properties. The company has commenced an orientation survey on its 220,000 acre Calling Lake project, 50 kilometres east of Slave Lake, Alta. This preliminary survey will help determine the scope of program that will include a $110,000 work expenditure by the end of 1998. |
