Labyrinth Resources (ASX:LRL) has entered an option agreement with Olympio Metals Limited's subsidiary, Rocktivity Gold Pty Ltd, to potentially acquire the Mulwarrie Project in Western Australia. The agreement, structured in stages, allows Labyrinth Resources to purchase the project for up to $1.375 million.
Labyrinth Resources has signed an option agreement to acquire the Mulwarrie Project from Olympio Metals, allowing for a potential purchase valued at up to $1.375 million. The structured deal requires an initial $50,000 cash option fee, followed by $100,000 in cash and $225,000 in Labyrinth shares upon exercising the option. An additional $1 million is contingent upon defining a JORC-compliant mineral resource exceeding 250,000 ounces of gold at a grade of at least 1.40g/t Au. This acquisition aligns with Labyrinth's strategic focus on expanding exploration activities in the Menzies area, potentially leading to further resource discoveries. Meanwhile, Olympio Metals benefits by monetizing the project while retaining exposure to possible exploration successes. The agreement marks a significant shift in Olympio's strategy, as it redirects focus to other assets.
Sean Delaney, Managing Director of Olympio, emphasized the strategic value of the agreement and expressed confidence in Labyrinth's exploration capabilities.
