BIG RED MINING CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE AND REPRICES WARRANTS
Further to its recent press release dated Jan. 22, 2025, detailing the option of the
Bald Hill property in southern New Brunswick, Big Red Mining Corp. has issued the following details to clarify the
details of the option agreement and to provide further information on the Bald Hill project.
The option agreement
The option agreement between Big Red Mining and Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. includes the issuance of Big Red shares as well as cash payments and work
commitments.
To clarify, the option agreement calls for the issuance of 1.1 million shares over four years with the
following schedule:
-
250,000 shares on signing;
-
250,000 shares before the first anniversary;
-
150,000 shares before the second anniversary;
-
200,000 shares before the third anniversary;
-
250,000 shares before the fourth anniversary.
The shares issued will be restricted from trading for the standard four months plus one day when issued.
The Bald Hill property
The option agreement covers the Bald Hill property in southern New Brunswick. The property
consisting of 26 claims, covers several antimony occurrences, including previous trenching by Rockport
Mining Corp. which returned up to 43 per cent antimony over 2.0 metres and 2.90 per cent antimony over 8.18 metres. Shallow drilling by
widely spaced holes is reported to have extended the zone over a 450-metre strike length and to a depth of
300 metres.
A National Instrument 43-101 technical report in 2010 by Conestoga-Rovers and Associates of Fredericton, N.B., for Rockport Mining, written by Heather MacDonald, MSc, PGeo, reported: "Based
upon 16 widely spaced drill holes totalling 3,554 metres and 609 assays, an antimony zone of 450 metres
in length was outlined, including intersections of up to 11.7 per cent antimony over 4.51 metres core length."
The report further stated: "The potential tonnage and grade of a potential mineral deposit at the Bald Hill
property, which is the target of further exploration, is expressed as ranges in the Table 6 below. The
potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define
a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a
mineral resource."
A subsequent NI 43-101 report titled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report: Bald Hill Antimony
Project (claim group 5061) Southern New Brunswick, Canada, NTS Map Sheet 21G/09 and 21H/12,"
prepared for Tri-Star Antimony Canada Inc. by Peter Banks, BSc, PGeo, and John Langton, MSc,
PGeo, of MRB & Associates, Oct. 28, 2014, dealt with addition exploration work and conclusions
derived from the work up to that date as reported in brief under interpretations and conclusions and
reproduced below.
"Rockport's drilling on the Bald Hill main grid has confirmed the antimony mineralization over a significant area
of approximately 700 metres on surface and to 300 metres depth. Surface mineralization and soil geochemical
anomalies indicate that the mineralization extends for at least 1.5 kilometres along strike from the delineated
mineralized zones. The 2014 trenching program, centred approximately 1.0 kilometre along strike to the
southeast from the main Bald Hill occurrences, exposed new antimony mineralization grading 9.04 per cent antimony
over 2.60 metres.
"In addition to the on-site exploration programs, preliminary processing and metallurgical test work of
Bald Hill lithological drill core and bulk samples was carried out. This work comprised bulk mineralogy,
basic chemical profiling, textural features of the ore minerals and preliminary analysis of liberation
characteristics and amenability of the ore to gravity concentration and/or flotation, preliminary ore characterization, mineralogical and chemical profiling, and optical ore examinations.
"The work completed by Rockport on the Bald Hill project substantiates the occurrence of a potential
resource of economically interesting antimony mineralization. The project is a valid exploration target
that remains largely untested with respect to its full dimensions and its regional structural
relationships."
In 2021, Globex undertook a small drill program, which returned the following results:
-
Hole BH21-25 -- 1.34 per cent antimony over 3.6 metres starting at 310.5 metres;
-
Hole BH21-27 -- 2.67 per cent antimony over 2.7 metres starting at 112.2 metres and
1.73 per cent antimony over 3.3 metres starting at 124.7 metres;
-
Hole BH21-28 -- 4.71 per cent antimony over 10.2 metres starting at 109.5 metres.
Big Red is planning an intensive exploration program for the Bald Hill project.
The technical contents of this news release were reviewed and approved by Jim Atkinson, MSc, PGeo,
who is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. The figures and reports quoted in
this press release are were prepared by other presumed capable companies and individuals, but the
qualified person has not yet verified any of the results of past work.
Big Red also announces that it will amend the exercise price of 2,972,222 previously issued common share
purchase warrants from 20 cents per share to 13 cents per share. The warrants were
originally issued pursuant to the March, 2021, non-brokered private placement of units by the company.
Pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the term of the warrants, as
amended, will be subject to an accelerated expiry provision such that, if, for any 10 consecutive trading
dates during the unexpired term of the warrants, the closing price of the
company's shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange exceeds 16.25 cents, the exercise period of the warrants will be reduced to
30 days, starting seven days after the last premium trading day. The company will announce any such
accelerated expiry date by press release. All other terms of the warrants remain unchanged.
The amendments described above are subject to obtaining consent from all holders of the warrants.
Insiders hold or control 297,222 warrants representing 10.0 per cent of the warrants being repriced. The
company is relying on an exemption from the related party requirements of MI 61-101 for the repricing
of warrants held or controlled by insiders of the company.
About Big Red Mining Corp.
Big Red also holds an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Antimony 2.0 property, which is located
approximately 25 kilometres west of Fredericton, N.B., and approximately 15 kilometres
northeast of the historic Lake George antimony mine. The Lake George antimony mine operated for
various periods from the 1860s to 1998 and produced as much as 4 per cent of the world's demand of
antimony from 1970 through 1992. The Antimony 2.0 property comprises over 35 square kilometres of
relatively unexplored ground with excellent access through provincial and logging roads and hydro power.
Antimony has been detected at highly anomalous levels in soil samples collected on the Antimony 2.0
property by the optionor.
Big Red's management team possesses extensive experience in financing, exploration, development and
mining. Big Red intends to conduct exploration campaigns on each of its optioned properties with a goal
of finding one or more minable resources.
