Significance of the acquisition
According to Geordie Mark, CEO of Blue Jay, this acquisition represents a major milestone for the company. He stated, “The Yukon is a remarkable area known for its robust geological potential and supportive mining environment. Skukum is not just an asset; it’s a cornerstone for our future endeavors. Given its history as a production site, we see a substantial opportunity to revitalize and explore the mineralized systems surrounding the underground development areas. Our aim is to establish new targets that ensure the project’s longevity and sustainability.”
Financial details of the transaction
The acquisition terms were structured through a share purchase agreement, outlining a two-part payment process. Initially, Blue Jay has issued 500,000 common shares and 250,000 common share purchase warrants to Tincorp, with a total estimated value of $300,000. The second part of the agreement entails a payment of $275,000, which can be settled either in cash or shares, at Blue Jay’s discretion, on the first anniversary of the acquisition.
Each warrant permits Tincorp to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.90 per share within a two-year timeframe from the issuance date, subject to specific acceleration conditions. This financial structure underscores Blue Jay’s commitment to responsible capital management while simultaneously enhancing its asset base.
Future exploration strategies
As Blue Jay transitions into this new phase with the Skukum Gold Project, the focus will be on assessing the growth potential of the existing mineralized systems. The company plans to implement modern exploration techniques that align with its disciplined approach to resource development. By prioritizing areas with a history of mineralization, Blue Jay aims to uncover new deposits while ensuring sustainable practices that benefit both the community and the environment.
In addition to its immediate plans for the Skukum Gold Project, Blue Jay is dedicated to fostering long-term partnerships within the Yukon community. The company recognizes the importance of collaborating with local stakeholders to ensure the project’s success and to uphold its responsibilities in a manner that adds value to the region.
