Doubleview Capital Corp. (“Doubleview”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a purchase agreement with Decoors Mining Corp. (“Decoors”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Metropolitan Property in the Kootenay District of south-eastern British Columbia. The mineral property comprises 776.27 hectares and includes the former Metropolitan Silver-Gold-Lead-Zinc mine, and two Silver-Gold-Lead-Zinc occurrences. Subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) approval, Doubleview will issue 333,330 shares to Decoors on Exchange approval and make two cash payments to Decoors of $25,000: the first on Exchange approval and the second, on the first anniversary of the agreement. Decoors will also retain a 2.5% net smelter return on the Metropolitan Property.
The Metropolitan Property is surrounded by the extensively explored Kootenay Arc Project of Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:MMV) (“Mineral Mountain”). Mineral Mountain in a news release dated June 30th 2011 announced that their Black Warrior Anomaly, located close to the Metropolitan site, is its highest priority drill target.
The Metropolitan Property is located 6 km southeast of Revelstoke and 15 km north of Trout Lake, B.C., near the headwaters of Ferguson and Silvertip creeks. The underlying sedimentary rock formations are Cambrian to Devonian aged clastic and carbonate members of the Lardeau Group. Historic and more recent mining and exploration work in the area has confirmed the presence of Silver, Gold, Lead and Zinc mineralization similar to that reported by Mineral Mountain.
Doubleview is planning to immediately start an ambitious program of exploration that will include prospecting, sampling, mapping and, possibly, drilling.
