Pacific Bay Minerals (TSXV: PBM) has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Appian Capital Advisory LLP to acquire 100% of the Pereira-Velho gold prospect in Alagoas State, Brazil. The project encompasses 11 mineral claims totaling 14,596 hectares.

The acquisition terms include CAD $710,000 in cash payments and CAD $700,000 worth of Common Shares or cash, to be paid in two tranches over one year. Appian will retain a 1.5% net smelter royalty, which can be purchased back for USD$3.5 million.

The project features mineralization at surface, hosted in fractured quartzites with low clay content, suggesting potential for a low-stripping ratio deposit. The area has access to infrastructure and an experienced local workforce. The transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and completion of due diligence by January 31, 2025.

Pacific Bay Minerals has completed its field program at the Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Element project in British Columbia. The program included geological mapping, prospecting, ground-based geophysics, and extensive sampling. A total of 189 soil samples, 25 stream sediment samples, and 3 rock samples were collected, with assays pending. The program aims to follow up on historic stream-sediment results that showed values up to 1.19% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides). The company plans to use these results to guide future exploration activities, including airborne geophysics and additional mapping to define drill targets.
