Lacana Mining Corp. is taking a bigger bite of the highly interesting Sulphurets gold-silver project 35 miles northwest of Stewart, B.C., via Newhawk Gold Mines.
Under an agreement reached this week, it will acquire 4,000,000 shares of Newhawk in exchange for Lacana’s wholly-owned subsidary, Lacana Ex (1985) Inc. which already owns a 30% interest in the property.
On completion of this deal, Lacana will have a 41% interest in Newhawk and Newhawk will have a 60% interest in the Sulphurets property. Granduc Mi nes holds the remaining 40%.
Newhawk will continue as operator of the project which has drill- indicated geological reserves of 1.6 million tons grading 0.34 oz gold and 22.9 oz silver per ton.
While Donald A. McLeod remains Newhawk’s president and chief executive officer and will continue to direct the ongoing exploration and development program through to production, the company’s board of directors will be revised to accommodate the new interests and will now include Ned Goodman and Peter Steen, chairman and president respectively of Royex Gold Mining Corp.; G. J. Leathley, president of Lacana and F. G. Hewett, Newhawk’s vice- president exploration.
Hand-in-hand with the Lacana agreement was the listing of Newhawk’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. They will continue to be listed on the vse as well.
