Cambria Gold Mines, ECC Ventures 4 to Spin-Out Mt. Margaret Copper-Gold Deposit

Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: CAMB) and ECC Ventures 4 Corp. (TSXV: ECCF.P) have entered into a binding term sheet to spin out the Mt. Margaret copper-gold porphyry deposit into a newly formed US-focused company, with plans for up to US$100 million in financing.

Under the proposed transaction, Cambria will transfer all its rights and interests in the Mt. Margaret Project to ECC Ventures 4, which will then be renamed and focused on advancing the deposit. The deal is structured as a spin-out, creating a standalone entity dedicated to the copper-gold asset located in the United States. The financing component, up to US$100 million, is intended to fund exploration and development activities.
