Freewest, Aurogin deal

Aurogin Resources (VSE) has granted an option to Freewest Resources (ME) and Maple Creek Mines, a private company. It gives the latter two companies the right to earn a 50% interest in a base metals property.

The Aurogin claims, in Benoit Twp., Que., will be explored by geophysics and drilling. Exploration will focus on a gold zone which was intersected by Aurogin previously and a base metals target which has been outlined by geophysics.

Freewest and Maple Creek can earn their interest by spending $253,690 on exploration and making cash payments to Aurogin of $27,000 by Dec. 22, 1991. Freewest can earn an additional 10% by spending another $250,000.
