Vancouver — Mustang Minerals (YMU-V) has teamed up with Falconbridge (FL-T) to explore for diamonds in the Marten River area near North Bay, Ont.
The junior can pick up a 50% stake in the project and enter into a joint-venture agreement with the major by paying $100,000 and issuing 100,000 shares over an 18-month period.
Mustang must also keep the claims in good standing and pay Falconbridge an additional $100,000 in cash or stock.
The junior will act as operator of the joint venture and aims to seek shareholder approval to transfer the Marten River Project to a wholly owned diamond exploration subsidiary for common and preferred shares.
“Acquisition of an interest in the Falconbridge joint venture and our assembly of the Marten River project represent a high-potential early-stage diamond exploration opportunity in a highly prospective and under-explored geological terrain,” says Ken Lapierre, Mustang’s VP of exploration.
The project hosts 70 high-priority circular magnetic anomalies, as well as a geochemical database consisting of 1,253 geochemical samples.
Based on the promising geochemistry, Mustang has picked up an additional 933 mining claim units through staking or purchase agreements.
Results are being compiled from a regional till sampling program and an airborne geophysical survey.
