Gold Line Resources Ltd. and EMX Royalty Corp. announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited; "Agnico" pursuant to which Gold Line will acquire a 100% interest in Agnico's Oijärvi Gold Project located in central Finland and the Solvik Gold Project located in southern Sweden (collectively, the "Projects") for an aggregate purchase price of US$10 million comprised of cash and shares of each of Gold Line and EMX (the "Transaction"). Agnico will retain a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Projects, 1% of which may be purchased at any time by EMX for US$1 million. The Oijärvi Gold Project is a 1,641 hectare advanced exploration project located approximately 350 km south of Agnico's Kittila Mine and 85 km east of the city of Kemi, Finland. The property covers a late Archean-age greenstone belt known as the Oijärvi Greenstone Belt, similar to those found elsewhere in Finland and in the Canadian Shield, that hosts several gold-bearing zones within the project area. A total of 292 holes have been drilled to date across the project for a total of 51,854 m. Several holes have intersected significant gold values over large thicknesses, including 22.6 g/t Au and 126.3 g/t Ag over 11.0m (estimated true width). Mineralization is developed in and around swarms of orogenic-style quartz veins associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusions, and with disseminated sulfides in sediments, the latter style of mineralization only being recently recognized in the district. The project contains the drill defined Kylmäkangas deposit, which comprises a historical inferred mineral resource of 1.89 Mt grading 4.11 g/t Au for 250,000 oz Au and 31.11 g/t Ag for 1,896,000 oz Ag. The mineralized system remains open at depth and along strike towards southwest and northeast. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical resource estimate discussed above as a current mineral resource and Gold Line is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the historical estimate can be classified as a current mineral resource. The historical resource estimate is presented only for the purpose of describing the extent of gold mineralization and to outline the exploration potential. This historical resource estimate should not be relied upon. Reconnaissance drilling 1.8 km to the southwest of the Kylmäkangas deposit intersected gold mineralization in the same stratigraphic position as Kylmäkangas, with little to no drilling in between. The sediment-hosted gold mineralization described above was intercepted in drill hole SAR09001 to the south of the main Kylmäkangas zone. These targets are expected to be prioritized by Gold Line for follow-up drilling. The Solvik Gold Project is a 9,240 hectare advanced exploration project located approximately 16 km south from past producing Harnäs gold mine in south western Sweden. Gold mineralization at Solvik occurs in quartz veins and breccias developed along deformation zones, and in quartz-sericite altered host rocks. Deformation zones mapped and documented by Agnico's work at Solvik total over 55 km in cumulative strike length, which represents considerable upside exploration potential. A total of 43 holes have been drilled to date across the project for a total of 8,364 m. Several holes have intersected gold mineralization with the best intercepts being 2.50 g/t Au over 19.4 m and 2.71 g/t Au over 8.5 m (estimated true widths). Over 100 channel samples from outcrops and boulders have returned a number of surface high grade Au-grades between 1.0 - 90.1 g/t Au. There was little to no modern exploration conducted in the area prior to Agnico's exploration work in 2011 and the project area remains underexplored.
