Rambler Completes Property Arrangement to Explore for New Gold & Copper
LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwired - April 16, 2013) - Rambler Metals and
Mining plc, the Newfoundland copper and gold producer, explorer and developer (TSX VENTURE:RAB)(AIM:RMM)
("Rambler" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has finalized a purchase and sale arrangement with
a local exploration company for the exclusive rights to explore and develop a gold/copper property. Under the
agreement, Rambler is able to immediately begin exploring and compiling all historic data in the area from the
Krissy's Buckle property, located within 40 kilometres of Rambler's Nugget Pond multi commodity processing
facility.
HIGHLIGHTS:
/T/
-- Contains two mining leases in addition to numerous copper and gold
mineralized zones and soil anomalies including the Krissy, SB and Brass
Buckle trends
-- 2300 hectares and located approximately 5 kilometers to the south of the
Ming mine
-- Rambler is particularly interested in the Krissy trend with 10.51 g/t
gold over 1.75 metres, including 0.5 metres grading 31.9 g/t and 2.84%
Cu. The 2011 surface diamond drill hole, RSKT-11-04, returned this high
grade mineralization within 10 metres of the collar (i.e. near surface)
and will be a key target area as Rambler embarks on its exploration
program
-- In addition the property contains numerous other untested copper and
gold anomalies in soils and bedrock occurrences
/T/
The purchase and sale of the property is between Rambler and the three land holders, Mr. Peter Dimmell, Krinor
Resources Inc. and Northeast Exploration Services Ltd. The terms of the sale have been structured in such a way
that will allow Rambler the exclusive right to explore and develop the property while providing the vendors
with a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) on any ore extracted. In addition to the NSR, advanced royalty payments
totaling $90,000 (CAD) will be paid to the vendors over the first 4 years.
Additional information on Rambler's plans for an exploration program will be released over the coming months.
The agreement will be publicly filed on SEDAR.
George Ogilvie, President and CEO, commented:
"We believe that the Baie Verte area has significant mineral exploration potential and with the Ming Copper-
Gold Mine in commercial production, and generating free cash flow, now is the right time to acquire other
properties within close proximity to our existing operating mill.
"This is the first property arrangement we have completed since reaching commercial production in November
2012, and hopefully it will not be our last as we are currently in negotiations on a number of other exciting
prospects.
"The structure of this deal is favourable to both parties, as it allows Rambler to start exploring and
assessing the mineral potential on the property while providing the original stake-holders with an attractive
net smelter royalty. The property now rests with Rambler who have a track record of being able to bring
projects to Commercial Production should the economics justify this.
"Our strategy is to grow the business with the addition of new resources and reserves, through organic growth
at the Ming Mine and through exploration and M&A activity. We believe that this property purchase supports our
vision to increase the Company's mining assets in Newfoundland and looking to becoming Atlantic Canada's
leading resource developer and mine operator."
