Parlane Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PPP) has announced that it has reached new agreements with Galena Capital Corporation and Rodolfo Cuevas Coffey the owner of the Mercedes Property, which gives Parlane the right to earn a 100% interest in the Property and all rights thereto.
The Property is located approximately 200 kilometres southeast of Hermosillo, in the state of Sonora, Mexico and consists of three contiguous mineral claims totaling 360 hectares: La Mina del Oro, 16 hectares; Ampliacion Mina del Oro, 251 hectares; C.R., 93 hectares. (See press release dated September 8, 2010.)
Parlane, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, entered into an Option Agreement directly with Coffey for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Property (subject to a net smelter royalty) in consideration of:
- an initial payment of US$25,000;
- an additional US$25,000 within six months;
- a final payment of US$450,000 within 12 months.
Upon full payment of the US$500,000, Coffey will immediately transfer all right, title and interest in the Property to Parlane and will register ownership in the name of Parlane's Mexican subsidiary.

If Parlane sells or abandons the Property, then the NSR shall apply to all production from the Property;
