Alaska Energy Metals to acquire promising Angliers-Belleterre nickel-copper project in Quebec
Deal Highlights:
- Alaska Energy Metals Corporation has agreed to purchase 1413336 BC Ltd., the owner of the Angliers-Belleterre nickel-copper project in western Quebec.
- The target company assets include approximately $2.8 million in cash.
- The Angliers-Belleterre property is underlain by komatiitic ultramafic flow rocks and differentiated gabbro rocks in a regional setting thought to be a mantle plume. The setting is similar to that of the Kambalda nickel district in Australia.
- Significant nickel prospects on adjacent claims, for example the Midrim nickel prospect, appear to trend onto the Angliers-Belleterre project, and there is a six-kilometre long belt of nickel-enriched rocks documented by the Quebec government on the project.
- By virtue of owning a Quebec project, AEMC will have greater access to inexpensive flow-through capital and be eligible for rebates on exploration expenditures.
