Joshua Gold Resources Inc. announced that it has acquired a 100% interest in a gold prospect, the ‘Benoit West’ property located in Benoit Township in Northern Ontario. The Benoit West property is approximately 48 miles (77 kilometers) southeast of Timmins, ON. It consists of five claims, about 210 acres, where previous prospectors have conducted sampling. Geologically, the area around Benoit Township lies between the Larder Lake and Destor-Porcupine Faults. This area of Abitibi volcanics extends from Timmins, Ontario to Chibougamau, Quebec. The area was mapped by H. L. Lovell in 1965 and appears to be composed of metavolcanic rocks that are tholeiitic in appearance and part of the Knojevis Group. Previous prospectors have discovered gold values over 24 grams per ton on the Benoit West property. Joshua acquired a one hundred percent interest in the Joe-Anne Property through issuance to the vendors of two million, five hundred thousand (2,500,000) JSHG common shares. The vendors retained a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on the property, of which JSHG has the option to acquire 50% of the NSR from the vendors for a payment of one million ($1,000,000) Canadian dollars at any time.
