ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 7, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase a 100% interest in four mining claims comprising part of the Veronneau Gold Property (the "Property"), located in the Eeyou Istchee/Baie-James Territory, 135 kilometres north of the town of Matagami in the Province of Québec. 

The Property is covering an area of approximately 216.56 hectares (2 km²) on the Colomb-Chaboullié volcanic belt.  Historical work on the Property was last carried out by Cambiex in 1994 and showcased a drill intersection with results of 8.37 Au g/t (ppm) over a width of 3.9 metres consisting of pyrrhotite stringers (10-15%) in silicified metabasalts (the "Lac Marcaut Showing"). Additional positive intersections made by Cambiex obtained results of 7.0 Au g/t (ppm) over a width of three (3) metres and 6.90 Au g/t (ppm) over a width of two (2) metres.  The foregoing historical information is derived from a report filed by Cambiex Exploration with the Ministère de l'Énergie et Ressources Naturelle (Québec) (the "MERN") in 1994 (reference: Riopel, Jules, Rapport technique des travaux, campagne 1994, propriété Lac Marcaut, Cambiex Exploration - GM 53629).

An electromagnetic survey highlighted the continuity of the auriferous mineralization up to two kilometres south-west of the Lac Marcaut Showing.  Additionally, the Lac Marcaut Showing is located approximately 13.7 kilometres to the north-east of the new Veronneau gold showing located in the same stratigraphic unit (see X-Terra Resources' press release dated November 22, 2016).

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, X-Terra Resources will acquire a 100% ownership interest in four mining claims from two prospectors (collectively, the "Vendors"). In consideration for the acquisition of the mining claims, X-Terra Resources will pay an aggregate amount of $10,000 to the Vendors and will the issue to each of the Vendors 75,000 common shares of X‑Terra Resources at a deemed price per share of $0.26.  All the mining claims to be acquired by X-Terra Resources will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty in favor of the Vendors. X-Terra Resources may, at any time, purchase 50% of the net smelter return royalty from the Vendors for $1,000,000.

The transaction with the Vendors is subject to all regulatory approvals, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
