Madison Metals Provides Kenora Project Update and Issues Stock Options


TORONTO, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Metals Inc. (“Madison” or the “Company”) (CSE: GREN) (OTCQB: MMTLF) (FSE: 4EF0) announces an amendment to its agreement with Great Northern Energy Inc. on Madison’s Kenora Uranium Project. Under the revised terms, Madison Metals has agreed to extend the first-year expenditure commitments into the second year of the agreement. This extension requires Great Northern Energy to invest CDN $600,000 in exploration activities by May 3, 2025, and an additional CDN $300,000 by May 3, 2026. Successfully meeting these commitments will enable Great Northern Energy to earn a 60% interest in the project.

Once Great Northern Energy satisfies the agreed earn-in terms, Madison Metals will retain a 40% carried interest, thereby holding a significant stake without any further funding obligations on the project.

Stock Options

Madison Metals also announces a stock option grant for 1,200,000 common shares to its board of directors, management, and consultants of the Company. These options will vest immediately and are exercisable at a price of CDN $0.29 per share for a period of five years following the grant date.
