October 2, 2018 - Windfire Capital Corp. (WIF.H:NEX) (“Windfire” or the “Company”) announces that is has entered into an agreement dated September 28, 2018 (the “Agreement”) with the shareholders (the “Vendors”) of all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “114 Shares”) of 1141717 B.C. Ltd. (“114”).
114 is a British Columbia company that owns a total of 97 Lode Claims (the “Claims”) in Garfield County, Utah (the “Desert Eagle Project). The Claims comprising the Desert Eagle Project total 2,004 acres and are prospective for vanadium. The Claims are held by 114’s wholly owned Nevada incorporated subsidiary, Fatt Dogg Holdings, LLC.
The Desert Eagle Project is located in Garfield County, Utah, United States. The Project is host to historic vanadium and uranium production beginning in the early 1900’s which has continued erratically and intermittently, most of which was not reported. The project is located in the Trachyte district situated to the east of the Henry Mountains, 95 miles south of Green River, Utah. The project is considered prospective for the development of vanadium due to the high grades (up to 28% Vanadium Pentoxide) and high ratios of vanadium over uranium present on the Claims. The main host rock on the property is sandstone of the Salt Wash member of the Jurassic Morrison formation, a rock unit synonymous with vanadium and uranium production across the Colorado Plateau.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Vendors are to receive, pro-rata according to their respective interests in the Shares a total of Cdn$80,000 and 7,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “Company Shares”) as consideration for the purchase of their 114 Shares.
The closing of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated in it are subject to the approval of the Company’s filings with the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange.
