GLENCAIRN CLOSES SALE OF MANITOBA NICKEL
ROYALTIES TO INDEPENDENT NICKEL
Glencairn Gold Corporation reports that it has closed its previously announced sale to Independent Nickel Corp. (“INI”) of its sliding scale 1%-3% Net Smelter Return Royalty (“NSR”) on Victory Nickel Inc.’s Minago nickel deposit, as well as the 2% NSR on the Lynn Lake mine property, both located in northern Manitoba, to INI.
“We view this as a strategic divestiture for Glencairn allowing us to increase the company’s cash position and also retain the upside of the Minago project moving forward through our investment in INI,” stated Glencairn President and CEO Peter Tagliamonte. “This is a beneficial arrangement for both INI and Glencairn.”
Glencairn received CDN$5 million in cash along with 2,500,000 INI shares in exchange for the two royalties. The shares are subject to an escrow agreement that provides for their release from escrow on a graduated basis over two years.
