[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2024) - Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (\"Grizzly\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the acquisition of the Motherlode Crown Grants from First Majestic Silver Corp. (\"First Majestic\") and includes highlights of the recently compiled historical information for the Motherlode Crown Grants, located near the town of Greenwood, South-Central British Columbia (BC). The Motherlode Crown Grants host the historical Motherlode, Sunset, Sunrise and Greyhound mines that at various times during the early and middle 1900's produced copper (Cu), gold (Au) and silver (Ag) from both open pit and underground workings (Figures 1 and 2). The Motherlode Mine is reported to have produced 76,975,111 pounds of Cu, 173,319 ounces of Au and 688,203 ounces of Ag during the active periods of mining from 1900 to 1920 and then from 1957 to 1962 (BC Minfile 082ESE034). The Motherlode mine is road accessible and is approximately 2.5 km (1.5 miles) northwest of the town of Greenwood (Figure 1). Highlights First Majestic to transfer Motherlode to Grizzly. First Majestic has completed the re-instatement of the Motherlode Crown Grant owner and wholly owned subsidiary Veris Gold Corp. and in concert with advice from the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines & Low Carbon Innovation has submitted a petition to re-vest the Crown Grants with the subsurface mineral rights back to Veris Gold, at which time once approved, will allow First Majestic to transfer the Crown Grants with the subsurface mineral rights to the Company.
