-Laurentian Goldfields to consolidate Newman Madsen region in Red Lake District-
VANCOUVER -- Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "Sabina") (SBB - TSX) reported today that it has signed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Company's 100% owned Newman-Madsen property to Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. ("Laurentian").
The Newman Madsen property is an early stage exploration project comprised of 38 patented mining claims located in the Red Lake Mining Division of Ontario, 3.5 km southwest of the town of Red Lake and 4.5 km northeast the Madsen Mine.
"Sabina views the Newman-Madsen property as a good opportunity for future discoveries in this prolific mining district," said Rob Pease, President and CEO of Sabina "however, given the volatile markets and decreasing accessibility to capital, Sabina decided to sell this non-core asset to Laurentian to remain levered to future discoveries in the region. Additionally, the Laurentian land package offers other high quality opportunities for discoveries and potential near term production outside of Sabina's existing Red Lake properties. We view this transaction as a win/win for both Sabina and Laurentian shareholders."
