True North Gems, a junior Vancouver miner, says it has granted Endurance Gold Corp. an option to acquire up to a 75% working interest in the Bandito nickel, copper property in the Yukon, Canada. Under the terms of a deal, Endurance can earn an initial 51% joint venture interest in the Bandito property by paying CAD 125,000 by the end of 2012 and completing CAD 1 million in exploration by the end of 2013. Endurance can acquire another 24% by issuing 200,000 shares of Endurance to True North and spending another CAD 1 million on exploration.
