Vanstar Mining Enters into a Definitive Option Agreement with IAMGOLD on Bousquet-Odyno Property and Plans 4,000-Meter Drill Program

By: Newsfile

Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2022) - Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: VSR) (OTCQX: VMNGF) (FSE: 1V8) ("Vanstar", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement on November 29, 2021, it has entered into a definitive option agreement (the "Agreement") with IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD") for the Bousquet-Odyno gold project (the "Property"). Under the terms of the Agreement, IAMGOLD has granted Vanstar an option to earn up to a 75% interest in the Property, which is comprised of 37 contiguous mining claims covering approximately 1,492 ha and is located directly south of highway 117 between the towns of Rouyn-Noranda and Malartic in the Province of Quebec.

Under the terms of the Agreement, which are substantially similar to those in the letter of intent, Vanstar has the option to complete as operator a minimum of $4M in exploration expenditures over 4 years and will have the right to earn up to a 75% interest in the Property, by completing the following steps:

  • Vanstar can earn an initial 25% interest in the Property by investing a total of $2M in qualifying expenditures, over a maximum two-year period commencing on March 11, 2022 (the "Effective Date"); and
  • Vanstar can earn an additional 50% interest in the Property, for a total 75% interest, by investing a further $2M in qualifying expenditures over a maximum four-year period following the Effective Date.

IAMGOLD will have a right to earn back a 50% interest in the Property by spending four times the exploration expenditures made on the Property since the completion of the second earn-in period within a time period of three to five years, depending on the amount to be invested.

Subject to the satisfaction of the aforementioned conditions, and upon completion of Vanstar's 25% or 75% earn-in, as Vanstar may elect, and IAMGOLD's 50% earn-back, Vanstar and IAMGOLD would enter into a joint venture to hold and advance the Property.

Upcoming Work

In addition, the Company would like to announce that the Property is fully permitted for drilling and will initiate a 4,000 m drilling program in the month of April. The program is designed to test areas down plunge from known high grade zones as well have test additional areas on the surface (see Figure 1).
