Val-d’Or Mining Corporation ( (TSE:VZZ) ) has shared an update.

Val-d’Or Mining Corporation has granted Gold Candle Ltd. an option to acquire a 100% interest in its Recession Larder Prospect in northeastern Ontario, near the former Kerr-Addison Mine. The option terms include staged cash payments totaling $300,000 over three years and a requirement for Gold Candle to spend $1,000,000 on exploration during that period.

If Gold Candle exercises the option, Val-d’Or Mining will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty and holds a right to buy back a 20% interest in the property once mineral reserves are published, potentially converting the relationship into a joint venture. The deal allows Val-d’Or to monetize a historically explored, strategically located gold prospect adjacent to Gold Candle’s Kerr-Addison asset, while preserving upside exposure through royalties and a possible future ownership stake.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:VZZ) stock is a Hold with a C$0.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Val-d’Or Mining Corporation stock, see the TSE:VZZ Stock Forecast page.
