- Historical sample grades up to 15.8 g/t Au, 12.1% Cu, and 143 g/t Ag
- Acquisitions bring total Newfoundland project ground to 3,325 hectares
VANCOUVER, June 21, 2019 - Nexus Gold Corp. ("Nexus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NXS, OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to announce that it has reached a further agreement with Robert Stares, an arms'-length party, to acquire two additional exploration-stage gold projects, the Black Ridge Gold Project and the Bauline Epithermal Gold Project, in Newfoundland, Canada.
The Black Ridge Gold Project is a high-grade gold-silver-copper prospect that features several known mineral occurrences, including areas that have produced samples of *15.8 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), 15.5 g/t Au, 12.1% copper ("Cu") and 143 g/t silver ("Ag"). The Bauline Epithermal Gold project also contains multiple gold occurrences up to 2.8 g/t Au.
The acquisition of Black Ridge and Bauline, along with the previously announced GB Copper-Gold Project (see Company news release dated May 28, 2019), now gives the Company a total of 3,325-hectares of highly prospective gold-silver-copper exploration ground in Newfoundland.
"We were eager to add additional ground to the Newfoundland portion of our project portfolio," said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. "We really like the jurisdiction, it is a growing gold and precious metals exploration destination, with lots of regional success reported in recent months. We feel consolidating a good land position there, at this time, is an excellent value-add strategy. There has been some high-grade sampling done on the projects to date, with lots of ground left to cover. As the gold price edges higher, we're confident adding these and our other Canadian projects will greatly benefit our long-term goals while complimenting our continuing West African exploration efforts," continued Mr. Klenman.
In consideration for the acquisition of the two projects, the Company is required to issue 5,500,000 common shares. The Company is also required to grant a two percent net smelter returns royalty on commercial production from the projects, one-half of which may be purchased at any time for a cash payment of $1,000,000.
In connection with completion of the acquisition of the projects, the Company intends to issue 491,448 common shares to an arms'-length third-party who assisted with introducing the opportunity to the Company.
All securities to be issued in connection with the acquisition of the projects will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and cannot be completed until such time as approval is obtained.
