COGITORE
RESOURCES SIGNS NEW AGREEMENT WITH INMET MINING
TORONTO,
ONTARIO, Jun
26, 2009 -- Cogitore Resources Inc. (WOO– TSX-V)
(“Cogitore” or the “Company”) announces that it
has signed an agreement with Inmet Mining Corporation (“Inmet”),
whereby Inmet will immediately transfer to
Cogitore all of
its interest in the Selbaie West, Hébécourt, Landrienne
and Castagnier projects
(the “Properties”). Inmet will keep a back-in right in these projects,
with the
following essential terms: a) the back-in interest would be 50%; b) the
back-in
right on any individual Property would be exercisable upon Cogitore
delivering
a pre-feasibility study accompanied by an independent
NI-43-101 compliant mineral resource calculation; c) the exercise
of the back-in right would apply to the whole Property and would be a
one-time
decision; d) to earn back a 50% interest in any given Property, Inmet
would
have to fund, with Cogitore as operator, the next round of exploration
for
twice the amount of expenditures made by Cogitore on that Property
prior to the
back-in being exercised; e) upon Inmet having earned-back its interest,
a joint
venture would be formed to develop the Property and Inmet would have
the right
to elect to become operator of the joint venture if and when a mine is
built;
f) if a deposit is put in production by Cogitore on any portion of a
Property
without Inmet having exercised its back-in right, Inmet would be
entitled to
receive a 1% NSR royalty on the entire Property with no further ability
to
back-in.
These Properties were part of an original agreement signed with Inmet
in
2004 and which expired June 30, 2009. The Company had earned an
interest in the
Lemoine and Estrades projects within the five year time frame of the
original
agreement, but had not earned in on the remaining Properties that are
the
subject of this new agreement. These properties are all located in
Quebec
(except for 4 claims in Ontario) and host favourable felsic volcanic
rocks with
strong evidence of copper and zinc mineralization. The new agreement
gives the
Company a 100% ownership in four high potential VMS projects without
any work
commitment or cash payment, in addition to providing full flexibility
in
establishing work and expenditure schedules.
At the present, the Company intends to continue its focus on base metal
exploration in the Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario, and the Central
Belt of Newfoundland. Exploring in these areas is preferred
because of existing infrastructure, knowledgeable local workforces and
broad public support for mining.
