Wealth Minerals Ltd. announced a new option agreement for the Kootenay nickel-cobalt-gold property in south-eastern British Columbia (the "Kootenay Project"). The Kootenay Project comprises two separate claim blocks: the Lardeau-Goldsmith claim block, covering 6,951 hectares, and the Ledgend claim block covering 1,728 hectares. The Kootenay project is located within the prospective Lardeau group, the host of numerous base metal and gold prospects including the past producing Goldstream Mine, located north of Revelstoke, B.C. The project covers some of the most prospective (95th and 99th percentile) of the anomalous nickel-cobalt and gold silt anomalies outlined by the regional sampling programs of the B.C. Ministry of Mines. The proceeds from the Company's 2019 flow-through financing will be used for a helicopter-borne VTEM and magnetic geophysical survey covering 5,456 hectares (12,014 line-km.) of the Kootenay Project.
