The total proceeds raised from the Offering and the previous Flow-Through placement are $715,000, which will be used for working capital and for exploration on the Company's Eden Rare-Earth and Red Wine Heavy-Rare-Earth Projects.
Medallion Resources Ltd (TSX-V: MDL) explores for rare-earth elements, which are
key components required by many new energy-saving technologies including wind
turbines, electric and hybrid vehicles, super magnets and virtually all modern electronics.
Medallion is well positioned to take part in potential breakthroughs in the exploration for
these rare metals.
Medallion has concluded an agreement with Rare Element Resources to option a 65%
interest in a joint venture to explore the Eden Lake REE property in western Manitoba.
The Eden Lake property is a recent discovery and one of North America's most
promising REE prospects. Distribution studies indicate that the property has a potential
for high neodymium and significant heavy REE by-products. The agreement with Rare
Element Resources and the related filing of an NI43-101-compliant Technical Report on
the Eden property remain subject to final regulatory approval.
Medallion also has an agreement to option six southern Labrador mineral licences that
cover 4225 hectares of the Red Wine peralkaline intrusion. The peralkaline rocks of the
Red Wine intrusion are noted for REE occurrences and high concentrations of the
mineral eudialyte which often contains the heavy REE's. The agreement to option the
Red Wine licences remains subject to regulatory approval.
