Red Metal Resources signs definitive agreement to acquire claims, Quebec

Red Metal Resources Ltd. [CSE: RMES; OTC Pink: RMESF; FSE: I660] has completed due diligence and executed a definitive agreement with an arm’s length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in three separate packages of mineral claims and mineral claim applications directly contiguous to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.’s recent Hydrogen sample discovery of over 1,000 ppm, announced September 4, 2024. These mineral claim blocks are located within the Timiscaming Graben formation approximately 15 km north of the town of Ville Marie, Quebec, located between two major mining cities and is accessible by road (Route 101).

Caitlin Jeffs, Red Metal President and CEO, stated, “We have finalized our acquisition of these prospective mineral claims and are actively evaluating additional acquisitions in the area. Red Metal is actively planning an initial comprehensive exploration program directly next to QIMC’s recent hydrogen discovery. This new property represents an exciting opportunity to expand our clean energy portfolio as we continue to advance our Carrizal Copper/Gold property in Cordillera, Chile.”

Red Metal Resources is planning an initial exploration program that could include but not limited to artificial intelligence and target mapping algorithms which utilize known hydrogen occurrences to outline target areas having a similar spectral response to QIMC’s hydrogen occurrences.

Gas sampling from the soil and underwater surveys in Timiskaming Lake. These surveys can be used to locate degassing zones associated with faults in the Timiskaming rift.

Gravimetry and audiomagnetotellurism (AMT) geophysics to assess variations in the thickness of local sedimentary rock deposits (gravity troughs) over the Archean basement. AMT data will assist in locating graben-related faults in the St-Bruno-de-Guigue area that are covered by quaternary sediments.

Regional remote sensing gas surveys to identify specific targets to provide useful remote sensing data for hydrogen and helium exploration.

Fieldwork can be carried out mainly in the Municipality of St-Bruno-de-Guigues sector.

The company is currently reviewing regional geologic data to assist in the evaluation of potential additional acquisitions in the immediate area as well as the formulation of an initial exploration plan with further details to be provided in due course.

These claim blocks consist of three separate packages, covering 19 cells and totaling over 1,100 hectares to the North, Northeast and the Southwest of QIMC’s Hydrogen-in-soil sample discovery. These claim blocks are contiguous on three sides to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. and cover possible extensions in multiple directions. To date, 11 of the 19 cells have been approved by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests.

Under terms of the agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 19 mineral claims, the company agreed to pay $5,000 plus GST and issue up to 1.6 million common shares of the company. To date, 11 of 19 claim applications have been approved by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests and the company will issue 1,100,000 shares upon closing of the acquisition of 11 approved claims.

The balance of 500,000 shares reserved to be issued once the remaining eight claim applications are approved. No royalty is to be paid out of any potential future revenue. The company’s acquisition of the property remains subject to customary conditions of closing.
