Trillium Gold Signs Definitive Agreement for Acquisition of Contiguous Confederation Lake Land Package, Red Lake, Ontario

The property covers 16,991 hectares between the Fredart, Garnet Lake, Confederation North and Confederation South properties (see Figure below), giving Trillium Gold control over a significant portion of the Confederation Lake assemblage and creating a contiguous land package covering greater than 100 km of favourable structure on trend with Great Bear Resources’ Dixie Deposit.

The Definitive Agreement provides for the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares in the capital of Trillium Gold including payment of $175,000 in cash to Infinite Ore. In addition, the Company assumes all of Infinite Ore’s cash payment commitments under its existing option agreements, while Infinite Ore retains its share issuance obligations.

The Definitive Agreement is considered a major step in strengthening Trillium Gold’s strategic advantage to consolidate the greenstone belt and positions it as the most dominant exploration company in the Red Lake Mining District.
