Cabin Lake Royalty

The Cabin Lake property, owned by Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV-ROVR), is located 110 kilometres northwest of Yellowknife and 38 kilometres north of Behchoko in the Tlicho Traditional Territory, central Northwest Territories. The property hosts high-grade gold in iron formation within Archean metasedimentary rocks.

Silver Range retains a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty (“NSR”) on precious metal production.  Rover may purchase up to 1.5% of the 2% NSR for $250,000 per 0.5% if the resources defined are less than 1,000,000 ounces gold at the date of the NSR purchase or $500,000 per 0.5%, if the resources defined are greater than 1,000,000 ounces gold at the date of the NSR purchase.  Rover is required to make advanced royalty payments totaling $220,000, payable in annual installments capped at $20,000, commencing in 2020.  

Historic work by Cominco Ltd., Freeport McMoRan Gold Company, and Aber Resources Ltd. centred on a steeply east-plunging package of folded sulphidized iron formation containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Three historic resources are reported on the property in the NWT Minerals Database (NORMIN 085OSW0001). On the south limb of the fold, Aber Resources Ltd. reported a resource of 100,000 tons at 0.3 ounces per ton gold in their annual report while on the north limb of the fold, Energy Mines and Resource Canada Mineral Bulletin MR223 records a mineral inventory of 43,900 tonnes at 4.39 grams per tonne gold in the Bugow Zone and 18,100 tonnes grading 7.89 grams per tonne gold in the Andrew North Zone. The reader is cautioned that these resources are historic in nature, do not comply with National Instrument 43-101 and have not been verified by Silver Range. Sampling of the Bugow and Andrew North showings by Silver Range in 2016 returned check samples assaying up to 13.2 g/t gold with 5 of 15 samples collected returning assays greater than 5 g/t gold. Past exploration concentrated on the fold limbs and the inferred fold nose remains a highly prospective untested target based on data available in the public domain.
