Vancouver, B.C. – May 21, 2020 – District Copper Corp. (“District Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: DCOP – OTC: CAXPF) is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Company’s proposed sale of the Eaglehead Property located in the Liard Mining Division of northern British Columbia, to Northern Fox Copper Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Copper Fox Metals Inc. The terms of disposition were disclosed by the Company in its news release of February 10, 2020.
A fundamental term of the Agreement requires that Northern Fox provide replacement security to the Ministry of Mines in the Province of British Columbia for reclamation bonds posted by District Copper in the amount of $212,000 and that the bonding amounts pledged by District Copper be available for release to District Copper concurrently with the closing of the sale.
Each of District Copper and the Purchaser have submitted the documentation required by the Ministry of Mines in order to allow Northern Fox to deposit the replacement bonding amounts. The Ministry of Mines has advised the parties that the substituted bonding arrangements will take approximately 60 days to process due to the current COVID19 workforce interruptions.
At the Closing of the purchase and sale, District Copper will receive a total of $362,000. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $1,000,000 will be payable in three annual installments of $340,000, $330,000 and $330,000 respectively on each anniversary date following the Closing.
Following the Closing, the TSX Venture Exchange will issue a final Exchange Bulletin subject to additional closing documents in acceptable form first being filed with the Exchange.
