NovaRed Amends Trojan-Condor Corridor Option Agreement
Rhea-AI Summary
NovaRed Mining (CSE: NRED, OTCQB: NREDF) has amended a property option agreement dated July 17, 2026 (executed July 20, 2026) to allow it to acquire a 70% interest in five additional mineral tenures totaling 4,573.82 hectares, known as the Trojan-Condor Corridor.
These claims are adjacent to NovaRed's existing nine Wilmac Copper-Gold Project claims and expand the project to 16,077.76 hectares. To earn the 70% interest, NovaRed must issue 3,000,000 units to the optionor on CSE acceptance, each with one common share and a two-year warrant at C$1.80, plus cash payments of $100,000 by August 31, 2026 and $150,000 by March 31, 2027.
The company must also fund $8,500,000 in exploration, including $400,000 by October 1, 2026 and $2,000,000 in 2027. The 70% interest is subject to a 2% NSR, half of which can be bought for $2,000,000, plus a $100,000 annual advance royalty after option exercise. NovaRed also granted consultants options for 80,000 shares at C$0.60 for two years.
