VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goat Industries Ltd., (the “Company or “GOAT”) (CSE: GOAT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into two separate asset purchase agreements to acquire certain claim blocks located in Quebec, Canada (the “Lacana-Doran Property”).
The Lacana-Doran Property consists of 1,925 hectares of land located west of Aguanish, 100 km east of Havre St. Pierre and 320 km east of Sept Iles in Quebec, Canada. The Lacana-Doran Property encompasses five Quebec-designated occurrences: Lacana-Doran; DMC-R01; MZX-TR-18; Ech L6-L10; and Ech CS06-G1, as well as three (3) designated rock samples with historic reported Lithium values, and a part of another occurrence designated as the “Area C” of the occurrence known as Riv. Nabisipi with Uranium and rare earth Bastnaesite.
The Lacana-Doran Property includes expressions of uranium, lithium and pegmatite mineral values, and provides a broad target area for detailed follow-up geochemical sampling, geophysical surveying and ultimately drilling. The incidence of Bastnaesite is encouraging in a Uraniferous environment. The Lacana-Doran Property holds potential for not only Uranium, but also for LCT Pegmatite deposits.
Aligned with the Company’s investment policy, GOAT does not intend to develop the Lacana-Doran Property—rather, the Company will look to maximize the value of the property, and the corresponding return to shareholders, by positioning them for divestiture to mining companies that may have an interest in advancing the Lacana-Doran Property.
Dr. Stewart A Jackson, P.Geo. is the Company’s independent Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects who has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of this news release.
