(“Reliant” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:REC) closed today the previously announced divestiture of its 49% interest in the Borden Lake South mining claims (“Borden Lake South“) to Goldcorp Borden Limited (“Goldcorp“).

Pursuant to the Agreement to Purchase Interest in Joint Venture entered into by Reliant and Goldcorp on June 14, 2016, Reliant transferred its 49% interest in Borden Lake South to Goldcorp (the “Transaction“) and received $250,000 in cash, together with a one-percent (1%) royalty on the net smelter returns from the future production and sale of minerals from Borden Lake South (the “NSR“). Goldcorp reserved the right, at any time, to purchase fifty percent (50%) of the NSR from Reliant by making a cash payment of $500,000 (plus any applicable taxes) to Reliant, and a right of first refusal in favour of Goldcorp with respect to any future transfers of the NSR by Reliant.
