Orefinders Resources Inc. is pleased to report that the terms of the Derlak Red Lake option agreement with Jubilee Gold Exploration Ltd. have been amended to provide Orefinders with an additional year to satisfy its work commitment and earn a 100% interest in the Derlak Red Lake gold property in Ontario.
The Derlak Red Lake patented claims are well positioned 1,800 meters northeast along trend from the head frame of the Madsen gold deposit. The Derlak claims represent some of the oldest patents in the Red Lake camp. These patented land holdings occupy more than 2 kilometers of the favorable regional unconformity known to host all of the major gold deposits in the Red Lake district. In 2012-2013, Orefinders completed an initial $500,000 work program that included a deep penetrating Titan survey across the unconformity as well a preliminary diamond drill program. The drilling confirmed the location of the favourable gold bearing Austin Tuff horizon which hosts the gold ore bodies at the nearby Madsen Mine. In accordance with the amended agreement, Orefinders now has until January 19, 2016 to complete the remaining $500,000 in exploration expenditures in order to earn a 100% interest in the Derlak Red Lake property, subject to a 3% NSR of which 1% can be purchased for $1 million.
On December 19, 2013, Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a 100% interest in the Madsen Gold Project from Claude Resources Inc. Additionally, on January 14, 2014, Laurentian entered into a letter of intent to purchase a 100% interest in the Newman-Madsen Gold property from Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. As a result of these two transactions, property controlled by Laurentian now completely surrounds the Derlak patent claims. A map indicating the location of the Derlak property relative to Claude's Madsen Gold Project and Sabina's Newman-Madsen Gold property is available on our website at www.orefinders.ca.
Orefinders is currently well financed and focused on its 2014 exploration program at its wholly-owned Mirado gold project in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, with $1.7 million working capital as of January 31, 2014. The Mirado gold project is the subject of a Technical Report prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. dated December 9, 2013 and hosts a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 442,000 ounces of gold in an inferred mineral resource of 10,618,000 tonnes with an average grade of 1.29 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) in open pit, underground and three separate stockpiles.
