Rockhaven Issues Warrants Under Exploration Benefits Agreement

August 18, 2015 - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:RK) (“Rockhaven”) announces that further to its August 11, 2015 news release, it has received TSX Venture Exchange acceptance to issue 500,000 share purchase warrants to the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation (“LSCFN”). Each warrant entitles the LSCFN to purchase one Rockhaven common share at a price of $0.165 at any time on or before August 5, 2020.

The warrants are being issued pursuant to the terms of an August 5, 2015 Exploration Benefits Agreement (the “EBA”) between Rockhaven and the LCSFN. Under the EBA Rockhaven will continue to explore its wholly-owned Klaza gold-silver project, located approximately 50 km by road west of Carmacks, Yukon and within the LSCFN traditional territory.

The EBA provides certainty for both parties through the exploration phase of the Klaza project as it establishes the framework under which Rockhaven and the LSCFN will advance the project through a mutually-beneficial working relationship.

Key features in the EBA are:
  • the establishment of a cooperative working relationship between LSCFN and Rockhaven based on mutual respect, communication and collaboration;
  • a recognition of the importance of the natural environment and ongoing LSCFN traditional values and activities;
  • direct and indirect economic benefits for the LSCFN, LSCFN citizens and LSCFN businesses through equity involvement and employment and business opportunities related to the Klaza exploration activities;
  • the establishment of specific processes under which exploration and environmental monitoring activities at the Klaza project will be undertaken;
  • the prohibition of any exploration activities by Rockhaven on LSCFN Class A or Class B lands unless otherwise formally agreed; and
  • a commitment to negotiate a full economic participation agreement in advance of any future feasibility study that may be carried out on the Klaza project.
