Grid Metals and Boliden Advance Thompson East Through Strategic Earn-In
Grid Metals Corp. has struck an earn‑in deal with Boliden Mineral Canada, allowing the Swedish miner to fund up to C$9.6 million (≈US$7 million) and acquire up to an 80% interest in the Thompson East copper‑nickel‑PGM‑cobalt project, while paying Grid C$500,000 (≈US$370,000) in cash. The agreement lets Grid keep a 20% stake and preserve capital for its cesium‑focused Falcon West project in Manitoba. Thompson East sits in the prolific Thompson Nickel Belt, offering Boliden a sulphide‑type feedstock that matches its European smelting network. The partnership exemplifies a growing junior‑to‑major model that reallocates development risk without diluting the junior’s core strategy.
