Ranchero Options Pinchi Lake Nickel Project in British Columbia, Canada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ranchero Gold Corp. (“Ranchero” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: RNCH) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Recharge Resources Ltd. (“Recharge”) whereby Ranchero can earn a 100% interest in the Pinchi Lake Nickel Project (the “Pinchi Project”), consisting of six mineral claims totaling 3,917 hectares, situated approximately 15 to 30 km northwest of Fort St. James and 120 km northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia.

The Pinchi Project is a prospective nickel exploration project containing awaruite (Ni2Fe-Ni3Fe), a naturally-occurring alloy of nickel and iron which is approximately 75% nickel, 25% iron and 0% sulfur. A prior property holder completed a 1055 line-kilometre helicopter-borne high resolution survey on the Pinchi Project in 2011, as well as a geochemical sampling program. Recharge conducted further geochemical sampling in 2021. The Pinchi Project is subject to a pre-existing 2% net smelter returns royalty payable to a third party.

The key terms of the Option Agreement are that Ranchero may earn a 100% interest in the Pinchi Project, subject to a 1% net smelter returns royalty to be granted to Recharge, by:

  • issuing 835,000 common shares in the capital of Ranchero to Recharge within five business days of Ranchero obtaining the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to the Agreement;
  • making cash payments to Recharge of $25,000 by the first anniversary date of the Agreement; $2,000,000 by the second anniversary of the Agreement; and $3,000,000 by the third anniversary date of the Agreement; and
  • funding exploration and development work on the property of a total of $1,200,000 before November 30, 2026, of which at least $40,000 is required before June 30, 2024; a further $60,000 is required before November 30, 2024; and a further $100,000 is required before November 30, 2025.

All figures are in Canadian dollars. The Option Agreement is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
