Fancamp will transfer its Heenan Mallard gold property, consisting of 296 mining claims, located in the Swayze Greenstone Gold Belt adjacent to Côté Gold Deposit in Northern Ontario, and the Dorothy Gold property, a grassroots project consisting of 70 mining claims adjacent to Dynasty Gold’s Thundercloud Project in Northern Ontario, for 25% of Goldco.

Greg Ferron, President and CEO, stated: “The Transaction achieves a number of goals for Platinex. It creates a stronger gold-focused growth vehicle in a world class Ontario gold camp and brings in a strong joint venture partner, Fancamp with access to capital and technical expertise, allowing us to accelerate exploration at Shining Tree Gold Project. The newly acquired Heenan Mallard Gold project which borders IAMGOLD’s Côté Gold Project, and the Shining Tree Gold Property are expected to be the first projects to be drilled. The Transaction provides a clear strategy for the enhanced gold portfolio while retaining a 100% ownership of our high-quality W2 Ni-Cu project and the recently acquired Muskrat Dam Critical Minerals Project.”

At the Heenan Mallard gold property, historical drilling completed by Noranda in 1985 on Mallard’s River and Camp zones led to an initial discovery. The drilling returned several high-grade near-surface intercepts, including 5.04 g/t Au over a 3.69 m core length (BE-85-1), 5.31 g/t Au over a 3.82 m core length (BE-85-6), 3.50 g/t Au over a 2.80 m core length and 6.62 g/t Au over a 1.82 m core length (BE-85-3), and it is Goldco’s intention to drill follow up on those results.

The Shining Tree Properties includes one historical gold producer and over 30 underground developments and prospects. 40 IP anomalies have been identified on the property for follow up, with drill hole HU89-08 intersecting 35.4 metres grading 1.1g/t gold.

Platinex plans to raise up to $2.5 million from a non-brokered private placement of both regular and flow-through units. The company plans to raise up to $1 million from the issuance of 22,222,222 flow-through units priced at $0.045, with each unit consisting of one share and one-half a warrant.

Fancamp will subscribe to the regular unit financing and will own approximately 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Platinex following the closing of the private placements.

Goldco will engage in an initial exploration program of $1.1million, funded by the Platinex Financings and an additional $130,000 to be advanced to Goldco by Fancamp, with Platinex contributing a minimum of $940,000 to the operation.
