Grant of Stock Options
The Company also announces that, pursuant to the Company’s Share Incentive Plan, 12,200,000 stock options have been granted to certain directors, employees, and consultants of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 5 years, expiring May 2, 2029. The grant is subject to regulatory approval.
John Keating, President of PJX commented: “We would like to thank and welcome Charles, Margot, and Brian for agreeing to join the PJX team as advisors. Their tremendous wealth of expertise and experience will help support and benefit the company as we move forward and drill what may become a significant new discovery this Summer.”
He adds, “PJX’s team have discovered Sullivan deposit style and grade mineralization at surface that we plan to drill as soon as the snow melts and a permit amendment is received. This is the first time in 130 years that this style and grade of mineralization has been discovered outside of the Sullivan deposit area. This option grant is an incentive and sign of appreciation to the great team of consultants that have worked with the company for many years, and compensation to our dedicated and experienced Board of Director’s in lieu of monetary compensation.”
PJX’s New Discovery Potential Background
PJX owns 100% of the mineral rights to multiple properties totaling over 680 km² of mineral claims in the Sullivan Mining District of Southeastern British Columbia, Canada. Exploration in late 2023 discovered boulders and outcrop of Sullivan deposit style and grade mineralization on PJX’s Dewdney Trail Property that is over 150 km² in size. The zinc, lead, silver, and other critical metal mineralization discovered at surface on the Dewdney Trail Property is magnetic and appears to be associated with a strong to moderate magnetic airborne geophysical anomaly that can be traced for approximately 1.6 km. The mineralization and geophysical anomaly have never been drilled. The area is accessible by a historical mine road.
