TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mink Ventures Corporation (TSXV:MINK) (“Mink” or the “Company“) today announced that it has completed all share issuances and incurred all expenditures required to earn a 100% interest in the Warren Ni, Cu, Co Patents under Mink’s option with US Copper Corp. To complete the exercise of the Option, Mink today issued the final tranche of 750,000 common shares of Mink to US Copper Corp. In addition, Mink has expended the required $300,000 in exploration expenditures (half of which were offset by non-dilutive OJEP grants) on the project. Subject to the pending title transfer, Mink will hold a 100% interest in the Warren Patents.
Mink’s exploration and drilling at Warren has demonstrated the potential for deposition of nickel, copper, cobalt deposits over 1.6 km strike and identified a new prospective copper exploration target within volcanics along the gabbro intrusive contact (see press release February 13, 2025). Many of the property’s geophysical targets and multiple surface occurrences of Ni, Cu, Co warrant follow up or are totally untested.
The securities issued to US Copper Corp. are subject to a statutory four month plus a day hold period expiring on June 19, 2025.
