Cauldron exercises its option over Melrose tenement E70/6160 after due diligence, paying $10,000 cash plus 20 million shares. This completes the option taken in May 2023 and states its terms; Melrose now totals about 1,507km2.
Magnetic modelling at Melrose Target 04 shows a body about 3km long and up to 500m wide, 184m deep, roughly 150m below historical air-core holes with elevated nickel (592ppm) and copper (750ppm). Similar to Target 01. Two pegged tenements granted. A geophysical result, not a drill result.
