The gold producer has the right to earn a 51% interest in these properties from Dundee and North American Rare Metals (ME) by completing a feasibility study and spending at least $7.4 million on exploration.
Having spent a total of $971,000 on the “Vezza properties” by the end of last year, Agnico is required by the terms of the agreement to spend at least $600,000 in 1992.
