About Lucky Minerals
Lucky Minerals is a venture stage exploration company that is targeting a large-scale porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system in southern Montana that could potentially host significant gold deposit. The company is focused on its Emigrant Creek Project, which covers a 15 square kilometer area (6 square miles) located in the core of the mineralized and intensely altered Emigrant Mining District. To date, ten highly mineralized breccia-pipes and two porphyry targets exist within the company’s property boundary. These targets have been variously explored by drilling, induced polarization geophysical surveys, rock chip sampling and geologic & alteration mapping. The company’s properties are comprised of nine patented claims and eight unpatented claims, with an additional 117 claims staked, covering a total area of approximately 1,035 hectares (2,560 acres). Lucky Minerals resumed exploration in July, 2017 and has slated numerous activities to commence over the summer and into the fall, including further diamond drilling, geophysical work, geological mapping and ongoing sampling.
Furthermore, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Monterra Resources S.A. a private company from Panama for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Goldmindex S.A, a private Ecuadorian company that holds rights to the twelve mining claims comprising the Fortuna Property. The Company has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange on the contemplated acquisition on July 6, 2018 and the Company is currently in the process of fulfilling the remaining conditions required by the TSX Venture Exchange to obtain final approval on the contemplated acquisition.
