Kenorland Minerals Expands Atlantic Project with Strategic Acquisition
Kenorland Minerals Ltd. announces a significant expansion of its Atlantic Project in New Brunswick through the successful acquisition of 31,052 hectares of mineral claims. This acquisition, finalized on June 13, 2025, comes under a purchase agreement with a private British Columbia company dated May 26, 2025. The company issues 118,425 common shares at a deemed price of $1.473 per share, alongside a 0.5% net smelter return royalty on the newly acquired claims. This strategic move is poised to enhance Kenorland's foothold in a region known for its geologically favorable formations, particularly for gold and polymetallic deposits.
The Atlantic Project itself spans 150,831 hectares and is situated in the northern Appalachian orogen, an area recognized for its rich mineral potential. This region boasts Silurian to Devonian geological formations, which are conducive to hosting significant mineralized deposits. Noteworthy mineralized showings within the project include the Williams Brook and Costigan Mountain deposits, both of which lie in promising structural corridors of the Tobique-Chaleur metallogenic belt. With limited historical exploration conducted in the area, Kenorland is well-positioned to leverage modern exploration techniques and potentially unlock new discoveries that could contribute to the company’s growth trajectory.
In addition to the acquisition, Kenorland reports that its key investors, Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. and Centerra Gold Inc., are exercising their 'top-up rights' regarding recent share issuances. This involves the issuance of a total of 257,737 shares for a total consideration of $408,162.85, with 130,157 shares going to Sumitomo and 127,580 shares to Centerra. This move allows these investors to maintain their respective equity interests of 10.1% and 9.9% in Kenorland, reinforcing the company’s strategic partnerships as it advances its exploration initiatives.
Overall, Kenorland Minerals is focused on greenfield exploration projects in North America, employing a systematic approach that emphasizes partnerships and innovative exploration techniques. The recent acquisition adjacent to the Atlantic Project not only enhances its mineral portfolio but also positions the company for future growth opportunities within a promising geological landscape. As exploration efforts intensify in this underexplored region, Kenorland is set to capitalize on its strategic investments and partnerships to drive its exploration agenda forward.
