Yes, a BIG HIT and only more big hits are coming
In order for Hawk to complete the purchase of 100% interest of all the properties, Hawk is required to:
1) Issue to Orebodies an aggregate amount of 5,000,000 common shares of Hawk 2) Issue to Orebodies 4,000,000 share purchase warrants of Hawk, each warrant entitling Orebodies to acquire one common share of Hawk at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a period of four years from closing. 3) Hawk will grant Orebodies the right to appoint one individual to the board of directors of Hawk to represent Orebodies interest
This transaction provides Orebodies an opportunity to participate in the upside potential of any exploration success on the properties which Orebodies is vending, and also on those of which Hawk already owns. Orebodies in turn has expanded its exposure in the James Bay Lowlands 'Ring of Fire without the associated costs, allowing Orebodies to focus on its promising Lithium/Rare Metals properties and pursue additional opportunities available to the Company.
Gordon McKinnon, President & CEO of Orebodies stated "We are pleased to be partnering with Hawk, and believe there are excellent synergies through this transaction that will be beneficial and value additive to both of our companies."
Closing of the transaction remains subject to the approval of both the board of directors of Orebodies and Hawk, the TSX Venture Exchange, the satisfactory completion of due diligence by Hawk and the execution of a definitive purchase agreement.
