Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. has modified the payment structure for acquiring full ownership of a key mineral claim within its Atsutla Gold project in northwestern British Columbia. The company announced an amendment to its November 2022 option agreement with Torrey Fredlund for the Golden Echelon claim block, which spans 132 hectares between the Snook and Highland zones. The original agreement required Trailbreaker to issue 80,000 common shares over three years plus a $25,000 cash payment to earn a 100% interest in the claim.
The amended terms, signed November 3, 2025, extend the final payment deadline and provide additional flexibility. Under the new structure, Trailbreaker must issue 25,000 common shares by November 16, 2025, followed by either a $25,000 cash payment plus 50,000 shares or 175,000 shares by May 16, 2026. This amendment provides Trailbreaker with extended timeline options for completing the acquisition while maintaining the path to full ownership of the strategically located claim.
The Golden Echelon block sits between two established zones within the Atsutla Gold project, positioning it as potentially significant for the company's overall exploration strategy in the region. The option agreement amendment remains subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Once the option is exercised, Fredlund will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty, though Trailbreaker maintains the right to buy back this royalty within two years for $50,000 cash plus 100,000 common shares.
The revised payment schedule reflects Trailbreaker's strategic approach to managing its capital commitments while advancing its mineral property portfolio. The extended timeline allows the company additional flexibility in resource allocation during a period when mining exploration companies face various market conditions and funding considerations.
