Frank Giustra, Blackwolf’s largest shareholder and expected largest shareholder of the combined company, stated: “This is a strong transaction for Blackwolf and Treasury shareholders that puts the company on the path of a buy and build strategy that I have implemented many times.

“There has been growing interest in the belt over the last two years now hosting some the most world renowned mining icons in the world (Figure 1). Frank Giustra as a large shareholder to the combined entity confirms we are in the right place and we’d like to welcome Frank Giustra to the District.
Our Flagship Property has significant exploration potential with 30 kilometers of underexplored strike in a geologic setting that is shared with Treasury Metals’ Goliath Gold Complex project in a highly active gold belt that also hosts Rainy River’s New Gold mine and other deposits. The geological models and exploration methods that have successfully proven up over 14 million ounces of gold at Treasury, New Gold, and other projects in the region since the 1990s have yet to be systematically applied at Black Lake – Drayton.
We intend to do just that and look forward to developing our flagship project in a systematic manner with updates coming soon” Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director.
