Harfang Makes Progress with Li-FT Power at Pontax Property
Harfang and Li-FT Power Collaboration at Pontax Property
MONTREAL – Harfang Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: HAR) has made exciting strides following a recent notice from Li-FT Power Ltd. (TSX.V: LIFT). This notification signifies Li-FT Power's decision to move forward with the second option regarding the Pontax Property, located in the vibrant region of Eeyou Istchee James Bay.
A Deeper Look at the Option Agreement
This latest notice is part of an option agreement established between Harfang and Li-FT that began in July 2022. Initially, Li-FT had executed the first option, which allowed them to acquire a 51% interest in the Aurélie Pontax project after investing $100,000 and committing to $1.65 million in exploration activities over three years. With the acknowledgment of the second option, Li-FT aims to further enhance its stake in the property, raising its interest to a total of 70%.
Terms of the Second Option
To exercise the second option, Li-FT will need to:
- Pay an additional $50,000 in cash or common shares at their discretion.
- Incur an extra $3.35 million in exploration expenditures before the third anniversary of the first option’s exercise.
Positive Outlook from Harfang's Leadership
Rick Breger, President and CEO of Harfang, expressed his enthusiasm regarding Li-FT’s decision. He stated, “We are pleased that LIFT has elected to proceed with the second option and will continue to move Pontax forward.” Breger highlighted the collaborative effort between the two companies and praised Li-FT’s endeavors, particularly in mapping a substantial area showcasing high spodumene grain counts in glacial sediments. This exceptional effort underscores the project's strong potential.
Understanding the Payment Structure
As part of the agreement, Harfang has received the $50,000 payment structured as 14,044 shares of Li-FT at a deemed price of $3.56 each. The received shares come with a statutory hold period, as per securities regulations. This approach illustrates the commitment both companies have towards their collaborative goals.
Future Options for Harfang
If Li-FT successfully fulfills the terms of the second option, Harfang will stand at a pivotal crossroads regarding its remaining 30% interest. Under the agreement, Harfang has the option to either convert its interest into a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty or participate in a joint venture aimed at further exploration of the Pontax Property.
