B2Gold can acquire an additional 24% undivided interest in the Property by completing the first option; issuing an additional 25 000 B2Gold shares; and incurring an additional CAN$2.5 million in exploration expenditures on or before the fifth anniversary.
Matti Talikka, Aurion CEO, comments:
“We are pleased to join forces with B2Gold’s world-class exploration team on another project. The Kuortis property is located adjacent to the existing JV property with B2Gold and further expands the land position in the vicinity of the crustal scale Sirkka Shear Zone, that is considered to play a significant role in the development of gold mineralisation within the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, including the recent significant discoveries by the Aurion-B2Gold JV and Rupert Resources.”
