In addition, the Company has made the initial property payments under the Walker option agreement of $25,000 cash, $25,000 in exploration and 250,000 shares which maintains the option in good standing for the 6 Walker claims for the ensuing year. Opawica may earn its 100% interest in the Walker property by paying a further $50,000 cash, $50,000 in exploration and a further 500,000 shares within the next 36 months. The Walker property is subject to a 2.5% NSR of which 1% NSR may be purchased at any time by the Company for $1,000,000.
Surface trenching, stripping and sampling on the above Matachewan properties is ongoing along with a deep penetrating Titan geophysical survey which has now been mobilized. The objective of the Titan survey is to further detect known porphyry-style mineralization near surface to depths of up to 750m in order to better define drill targets. The program will consist of at least four Titan (DCIP & MT) lines totalling 12 line kilometres with a line spacing of up to 200m and is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
