VANCOUVER, May 26 /CNW/ - Mineral Hill Industries Ltd. ("Mineral Hill" or "Company") wishes to announce that it has acquired the "Canadian and Martin McNeely Property" which represent additional lithium occurrences within the general area of "Chubb", "Athona" and "International" Lithium properties.
The Canadian and Martin McNeely Property contain multiple historical target areas for lithium mineralization and represent an ideal geological environment for hosting large tonnage lower grade lithium deposits. The Property is located in the northwestern part of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the mining town of Val d'Or within the Landrienne and La Corne townships and consists of 21 non-contiguous mineral claims of four blocks covering 2,088.8 hectares. Access to the newly acquired Claims is excellent.
MHI considers the Canadian and Martin McNeely Property with its multiple lithium target areas not only a valuable addition to the Company's focus on lithium metals, but its proximity and logistics to the Company's Chubb, Athona and International lithium properties will make MHI's exploration efforts within Québec more economically efficient.
The Option Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire the additional 100% interest in and to the Canadian and Martin McNeely Property is subject to applicable regulatory approval and in consideration of MHI making cash payments in the amount of $80,000 and issuing 600,000 common shares to the Optionors over three years from the effective date of the regulatory approval of the Agreement.
