Canada Strategic Metals Acquires the Apple Project Adjacent to the
Sakami Property, Covering 75 Km2 of a High-Potential Gold-Bearing
Formation
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 5, 2013) - Canada Strategic
Metals Inc. ("Canada Strategic Metals" or "the Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:CJC)(FRANKFURT:YXEN)(OTCBB:CJCFF) is pleased to
announce that it signed a formal agreement today with Strateco
Resources Inc. ("Strateco") (TSX-VENTURE:RSC) on the Apple property
in the James Bay region of northern Quebec. The agreement, which is
effective immediately, provides for Canada Strategic Metals to
acquire 100% of the Apple property, wholly-owned by Strateco, in
consideration of $10,000 and 4,000,000 shares of the Company. The
agreement also provides for a 2% NSR royalty payable to Virginia
Mines Inc., half of which can be bought back for $1.0 million. The
agreement is subject to regulatory approval. The common shares
issued to Strateco, will be subject to resale restriction periods
as follows:
- 800,000 common shares within four months of TSX-V approval of
the Agreement;
- 800,000 common shares within nine months of TSX-V approval of
the Agreement;
- 800,000 common shares within 12 months of TSX-V approval of the
Agreement;
- 800,000 common shares within 18 months of TSX-V approval of the
Agreement; and
- 800,000 common shares within 24 months of TSX-V approval of the
Agreement.
The Apple property consists of 147 claims covering 75 squares
kilometres located 80 km southeast of Radisson in the James Bay
region. The property is accessible by a 40 km winter road from km
510 on the paved James Bay road. In summer, the property can be
accessed by boat from the Trans-Taïga road.
The project covers a portion of the Apple Formation, which came
to light in the early 1970s with the discovery of several extensive
uranium-pyrite matrix, quartz pebble conglomerate zones.
The Apple uranium deposit was in fact discovered in 1971 during
an airborne survey. The International Nickel Company of Canada
Limited ("INCO") and James Bay Development Corporation subsequently
conducted an extensive joint exploration program from 1972 to 1975,
with INCO as the operator. A total of 65 holes were drilled for a
total of 14,000 metres, and the uranium conglomerates were traced
over a distance of eight kilometres along an East-West axis.
In 1974, INCO performed a resource estimate on a one-kilometre
section covering seven subvertically-dipping zones. The historical
estimate yielded 9,365,000 tons grading 0.054% U3O8 or 1.08 lb/ton
for a total of 10.1 million pounds (GM 57894). This resource
includes 4.3 million tons categorized as proven and probable and
5.0 million tons categorized as possible (a qualified person has
not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as
current mineral resources, the issuer is not treating the
historical estimate as current mineral resources). The literature
(Robertson et al. 1986) reports a resource of 8.5 million
tons grading 0.052% U3O8 (8.8 million pounds of U3O8) contained in
a six-metre by one-kilometre wide envelope extending to a depth of
300 metres, and remaining open at depth (a qualified person has not
done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current
mineral resources, the issuer is not treating the historical
estimate as current mineral resources). A correlation was
established between the highest uranium grades and the pyrite
content. INCO dropped the property in 1975, and it has not been
explored for uranium since.
In addition to the subsequent uranium-related work done by
Strateco, Virginia Gold Mines explored the property between 1998
and 2001 to assess its gold potential. Very interesting showings
were discovered, although no drilling was done.
Notable among the showings was the Buck showing discovered in an
iron formation in 1998, which returned 20.15 g/t Au and 2.59 g/t
over 3.5 metres from channel sampling. Another showing discovered
at the contact of volcanic rocks and a pegmatite in the summer of
2000 returned 23.82 g/t Au and 4.73 g/t Au in grab samples.
Several ultramafic horizons with anomalous PGE (platinum and
palladium) values were also identified by the work done in 2000.
The best results were 491 ppb Pt and 2,347 ppb Pd.
The presence of albitized pegmatite with a quartzose core is
also notable, with a halo of intense, pervasive tourmalinization,
prismatic beryl crystals and proximity to ultramafic rocks with
chromite mineralization (chromiferous actinolite was observed in
skarned ultramafic rocks), which constitute the elements required
to form emeralds.
