VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE:LCR) (OTC Pink:LANRF) (FRA:6UF0) ('Lancaster'), is pleased to announce it has received approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange to complete the acquisition of the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project and has today completed the $400,000 non-brokered private placement financing as announced on April 23, 2025, which was fully subscribed. With all key conditions met, Lancaster expects the acquisition to close imminently.
Lake Cargelligo Gold Project Highlights:
District-scale opportunity: 28,768 hectares in a single, contiguous claim with over 25 km of prospective strike and three primary target zones.
High-grade results: Historical sampling includes results up to 204 g/t Au and 273 g/t Ag from rock chips, and up to 16m @ 5.83 g/t Au and 7.20 g/t Ag from channel sampling.1
Acquisition Terms
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Lancaster will acquire a 100% interest in the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project. The total consideration for the acquisition is payable as follows:
$10,000 in cash at closing;
10,000,000 common shares with voluntary resale restrictions, released over a 24-month period in staged tranches starting four months after closing.
No finders' fees are payable in connection with the acquisition.
The vendors will retain a 2% net smelter returns (NSR) royalty on all mineral production. Lancaster may repurchase 1% of the NSR for $2,000,000. The remaining 1% is subject to a repurchase right at fair market value based on a discounted cash flow valuation.
Lancaster must incur $400,000 in exploration expenditures within 12 months of closing as an initial work commitment. Failure to do so, after a 60-day cure period, allows the vendors to reacquire the Project for $10,000. A second work commitment of $3,000,000 over 36 months is optional, with similar cure rights for the vendors to reacquire the Project for $50,000.
Milestone payments of up to $3.68 million are payable as follows:
$30,000 on completion of the first geophysics program;
$50,000 on commencement of the first drill program;
$50,000 upon raising $1,000,000 post-closing;
$50,000 upon receipt of conditional ASX listing approval;
$500,000 on a NI 43-101 or JORC-compliant 1Moz gold resource;
$1,000,000 on a NI 43-101 or JORC-compliant PEA for a 1Moz resource;
$2,000,000 on a NI 43-101 or JORC-compliant PFS for a 1Moz resource.
