Explor Resources Inc. said April 20 that it acquired four mineral claims covering a total of 149.86 hectares contiguous to its East Bay gold project in Quebec for C$2,000 in cash and 100,000 shares. The vendor will also retain a 2% net smelter returns royalty over the property.

The expansion is in line with Explor's strategy of conducting exploration along the Porcupine Destor Fault zone and brings its total land area to 11,548.06 hectares in the area.
