Looking at EMR’s Latest Press Release
On June 30, EMR reported that its agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company (KEX), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group, for the New York Canyon Property in Nevada has been terminated by KEX. Despite this setback, Emergent has expressed its disappointment but remains optimistic about the potential of the property to host copper porphyry systems. The company plans to explore and develop the property with a new partner in the future. It should be noted that KEX’s departure from the project comes before the assays of the core samples have been completed.
Additionally, Emergent has completed the purchase of Mindora Property, NV, and is set to finalize an Option to Purchase Agreement with Lahontan Gold Corp. for the Mindora property. The agreement allows Lahontan to acquire a 100% interest in Mindora by completing cash/share payments and work expenditures over a seven-year period.
