Under the agreement, Apogee would pay C$20,000, issue one million shares and grant a 2.5% net-smelter-returns royalty over the claims. The transaction remains subject to exchange approval and customary closing conditions, with closing expected by November 16, 2026. The company said the ground would consolidate land around the Knife Lake deposit; historical drill intervals cited in the release have undetermined true widths. ## Data ### Project measurement Methodology: Project-level figure reported by issuer; not a national production statistic. | label | value | unit | period | basis | value_qualifier | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Land area proposed for addition under the Eagle Plains agreement | 1965 | hectares | 2026-10-20 | estimate | approximate | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/apogee-expands-knife-lake-copper-claims-saskatchewan-2026/data/reported-project-measurement?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/apogee-expands-knife-lake-copper-claims-saskatchewan-2026/data/reported-project-measurement?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Apogee Minerals Ltd.]() (Source checked: 2026-10-20; Published: 2026-10-20) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
