VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, August 24, 2017 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQX: MLRKF) ("Millrock") is pleased to announce that the transaction previously announced here on June 14, 2017, has closed. Under two separate agreements, Millrock has granted an option to purchase a 100% interest (subject to a royalty provision) in the Willoughby and Oweegee Dome projects to Sojourn Exploration Inc., (TSX-V: SOJ) ("Sojourn"), previously Sojourn Ventures Inc. The two projects are located in the Golden Triangle mining district, northeast of the Town of Stewart, British Columbia, Canada.
Under the terms of the agreements, Sojourn must make share issuances and incur exploration expenditures over three years in order to exercise the options and take ownership of the properties from Millrock. Millrock has already received the first payment of 1,800,000 Sojourn shares. The transaction also required that Sojourn complete an equity financing of at least $1.0 million. As announced by Sojourn today, the oversubscribed equity financing has been completed and the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted all components of the transaction. Millrock now owns 12.6% of the issued and outstanding Sojourn shares.
