Westminster Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: WMR) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has confirmed that Trading will resume at the open. Westminster Resources was halted as part of the acquisition of the Peru Copper projects, which consist of two advanced exploration projects, Ilo Norte and Ilo Este, and a number of nearby extensions and earlier stage targets, totalling 44 concessions covering 36,000 hectares in the coastal copper belt of southern Peru. This region of southern Peru hosts numerous producing copper porphyry and IOCG deposits, with Peru being the third-largest producer of copper. Ilo Norte is an IOCG type deposit that has had significant prior drilling, while Ilo Este is a large copper porphyry system with coincident gold, silver and molybdenum mapped at surface over more than 3 square kilometres.
The Company continues to pursue the Final Approval for the Peru Copper Project Acquisition, but the Exchange has cautioned that this resumption does not constitute acceptance of transaction.
Warrant Extension
The Company also announces that it is applying to the TSX Venture Exchange to extend the term of the warrants issued August 18, 2017 as part of a private placement.
A total of 3,747,500 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $0.35 for a one-year term. Given the length of time the Company’s shares have been halted to complete the Peru copper project acquisitions, management is applying for TSX Venture approval to extend the term to two years, expiring on August 19th, 2019. No warrants have been exercised to date.
About Westminster:
Westminster Resources is a Latin American focussed mining exploration company.
