Summary of the terms of the agreement

Fremont can acquire 100% in Mendia Resources by paying making staged option payments totalling US$350,000, issuing 2.2M Fremont common shares and completing specified work commitments over 4.5 years:

  • First stage: US$100,000 and 500,000 Fremont common shares on closing (effective date) and complete specified exploration work including 2500m of drilling over 18 months to earn 51% of Mendia;
  • Second stage: US$150,000 and 700,000 Fremont common shares in December 2024 and complete an addtional 5000m of drilling within 3 years of the effective date to earn another 29% in Mendia;
  • Third stage: US$100,000 and 1M Fremont common shares in June 2025 and complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment within 4.5 years of the effective date to earn another 10% in Mendia;
  • Final stage: After the Company has fulfilled the requirements to earn 90%, the optionor has the right to contribute on a pro-rata basis going forward.  If the optionor does not exercise this right, the Company has a one time option to purchase the remaining 10% of Mendia for US$3.5M.  If the company elects not to exercise this option, the optionor will be diluted via a standard dilution clause.  The optionor's equity converts to a 1% NSR once it reaches 5%. 
The Vardenis option agreement is with the owner of AT Group, a local Armenian drill company.  FRE and AT Group have mutually beneficial interests in completing the drill program on time and under budget.  Our interests are aligned in daylighting value through the drill bit. They are our partners in this venture.
