Rockland Resources said on October 2 that it had signed a definitive earn-in agreement with an Evolution Mining subsidiary covering ground around Pipestone Bay in Ontario’s Red Lake district. Rockland may first earn a 51% interest and then pursue a further 19% under additional terms.

The 51% stage requires C$5 million in exploration spending over three years plus specified share issuances. To reach 70%, Rockland must spend at least another C$6.5 million over 30 months and issue additional shares; it has not yet earned the interest or acquired a resource.
