Market Wire, August, 2008
Fox Resources Ltd. (formerly Waverley Biotech Inc.) ("Fox" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: FAX) is pleased to announce that it obtained the final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") on its Qualifying Transaction (the "QT"), the financings and the name change.
The Otter Gold Property
The Company entered into a three year mining option agreement (the "Mining Option Agreement") dated May 27, 2008 to acquire the Otter Gold Property located in the Spences Bridge Gold Belt near Princeton, British Columbia. The acquisition of the Otter Gold Property constitutes the Company's QT under the rules of the Exchange for Capital Pool Companies.
The Otter Gold Property is being acquired from a private arm's length British Columbia company, 665777 B.C. Ltd. ("665777"), which is owned by Mr. Tim Henneberry of Mill Bay, B.C. (30%), Mr. Rolland Menard of Kamloops, B.C. (30%), Mr. Brent McEwen of Kamloops, B.C. (30%) and Ms. Martina Hobbs of Kamloops, B.C. (10%).
Under the Mining Option Agreement, the Company will earn a 100% interest in the Otter Gold Property by paying $25,000 and issuing 50,000 common shares upon completion of the QT, $50,000 and 75,000 common shares on the first anniversary of the completion of the QT and $100,000 and 125,000 common shares on the second anniversary of the completion of the QT. In addition, the Company has committed to minimum exploration expenditures of $200,000 in year one, $200,000 in year two and $400,000 in year three. 665777 will retain a 2.5 % NSR of which the Company can purchase 1.5% of for $1 million, to reduce the NSR to 1%.
The Otter Gold Property is road accessible and lies 15 kilometres northwest of Princeton, British Columbia. It consists of 12 claims totaling 5,296 hectares.
The Otter Gold Property was previously explored by Tanqueray Resources Ltd. in 2006. During that time, five zones of anomalous gold values in stream sediments, soils, float and/or bedrock were located by two phases of work consisting of prospecting, geochemical sampling, and preliminary mapping. Those zones are called Grids A, B, C, D and E. Highlights of the results include:
- Confirming Spences Bridge Group rocks and important geological contacts,
- Locating an open 800 metre, linear gold anomaly in soils along a suspected regional lineament on Grid E,
- Uncovering a zone of angular epithermal quartz float with anomalous gold values within an area of intensely altered volcaniclastics on Grid B,
- Identifying a moderately anomalous carbonate breccia shear zone within an linear gold anomaly in soils on Grid A, and
- Identifying an area of bleached and silicified volcanics on Grid C.
The Otter Gold Property exploration work to be done in the short term includes additional grid soil geochemistry and mechanical trenching.
The Spences Bridge Gold Belt has been under steady exploration since 2004. Since that time, several companies including Almaden Minerals Ltd., Strongbow Exploration Inc., Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. and Appleton Exploration Inc. have been exploring and drilling for gold in the area. The Spences Bridge Gold Belt hosts low sulphidation epithermal precious metal systems within a northwest trending belt of Cretaceous island arc volcanics.
Mr. Jacques Houle, P. Eng., acts as the Company's Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Houle has reviewed the technical contents of this news release.
