Furthermore, the companies have initiated preparations to conduct an initial 1000m drill test of the Sandy Target beginning in mid-September.

Fjordland currently owns a 15% interest in the property earned during an earlier agreement from 2014.Both companies have recently entered into a letter agreement (see press release dated June 5, 2017) allowing for Fjordland to acquire up to a 100% interest by paying Commander aggregate cash payments of $290,000 completing $8.0 million in exploration expenditures and issuing to Commander an aggregate of 4.5 million post consolidation shares as follows:

Upon Fjordland acquiring a 100% interest in the project, Commander will retain a 2% NSR and Fjordland will have the right to buy down 50% of the Royalty for a payment of $5,000,000 as a cash payment, or a cash payment equal $2,500,000 plus the issuance of shares having a fair market value of 50% of the buy down amount. Commander will receive a $10,000,000 advance royalty payment at the commencement of commercial production.

On August 28, 2017, Fjordland announced a non-binding agreement with High Power Exploration Inc. (“HPX”) through which an affiliate of HPX would fund $1.4 million in project expenditures by means of a private placement in Fjordland and a further agreement by HPX to fund, on behalf of Fjordland, up to $7.4 million in additional exploration expenditures and $290,000 in property payments, following which Fjordland has agreed to assign a 65% project interest to HPX (see FEX news release dated August 28, 2017).A definitive Investment Agreement and Subscription Agreement were executed by HPX and Fjordland on September 5, 2017 as scheduled.

The SVB property is located in central Labrador some 80 kilometres south of Vale’s Voisey’s Bay Nickel mine and covers parts of the Pants Lake Gabbro Complex. The Pants Lake Complex contains host rocks with alteration and nickel mineralization styles consistent with high nickel prospectivity. In November 2014 Commander and Fjordland completed a UTEM and ground magnetic survey over a portion of the claims, referred to as the Sandy Target, where historical work has indicated the presence of a strong conductor. Results of this more recent survey outlined a strong horizontal conductor and 4 strong sub-vertical conductors near the Worm Gabbro, a possible feeder dyke to the larger gabbro bodies. (see News Release dated March 2, 2015).The Sandy Target forms will be the focus of the initial drill program announced herein.
