Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of RecycLiCo Battery Materials (“RecycLiCo Battery Materials” or “AMI” or the “Company”), (TSX.V:  AMY; OTCQB:  AMYZF; FSE:  ID4), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an option agreement with Liaz Pty Ltd (‘Liaz’) (which has since been acquired by Longford Resources Limited (‘LRL’)) whereby Liaz may earn a 60% interest in AMI’s Rocher Deboule high-grade copper/gold/cobalt property.  Consideration for the option consists of $10,000 cash; an additional payment of $5,000 or 50,000 shares of Liaz/LRL; exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 over four years; and $10,000 cash plus $5000 cash or 50,000 shares of Liaz/LRL each year until the 60% interest has been fully earned by Liaz.

The Rocher Deboule property is part of the Hazelton Project, which includes 3 historic mines:

  • Victoria Mine – where ore grades averaged 123.4 g/t gold and 2.8% cobalt
  • Rocher Deboule Mine – where ore grades averaged 5.9% copper and 2.9 g/t gold
  • Highland Boy Mine – where ore grades averaged 7.0% copper and 1.8 g/t gold

The Project was last mined in 1952 and has had very limited exploration since. There is considerable potential to delineate an additional high‐grade cobalt‐copper‐gold mineralization with modern exploration techniques.
