39055931v3
Element79 Announces
Proposed Spin Out and Merger
VANCOUVER, BC / THENEWSWIRE / January 13, 2025 – Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM) (OTC:
ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) ("Element79", or the "Company”) is excited to announce that, in connection with its
proposed spin out transaction, it has entered an arrangement agreement dated January 10, 2025 (the
"Arrangement Agreement"), with its majority owned subsidiary, Synergy Metals Corp. (" Synergy"), and
that it has also entered into a merger agreement dated January 10, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), with
Synergy, Synergy’s wholly owned subsidiary, 1515041 B.C. Ltd. (" Synergy SubCo"), and 1425957 B.C.
Ltd. ("142"), as further described below.
Arrangement
On July 17, 2023, the Company transferred all rights and data related to the " Dale Property", being 90
unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, to its newly
incorporated subsidiary, Synergy. In exchange for this transfer, the Company was issued 2,000,000 Class
“A” common voting shares in the capital of Synergy ("Synergy Shares").
In anticipation of the reverse takeover of Synergy by 142 under the Merger Agreement, described below,
the Arrangement Agreement has been entered by the Company , whereby 1, 000,000 of the 2, 000,000
Synergy Shares held by the Company will be distributed to the shareholders of the Company ( the
"Company Shareholders") on a pro- rata basis (the " Spin-Out Arrangement "). In consideration for
administrative support provided by the Company in connection with the arrangement transaction and
Synergy's proposed subsequent application to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange and pursuant to
the Arrangement Agreement, Synergy will issue an additional 10,000 Synergy Shares to the Company,
which will also be distributed to the Company Shareholders as part of the Spin-Out Arrangement. The Spin-
Out Arrangement will be a court ordered arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British
Columbia), and will be subject to approval by the Company Shareholders, as well as the British Columbia
Supreme Court. It is anticipated that the Company will publish and distribute an information circular in
respect of the meeting of the Company Shareholders to be held to vote on the Spin-Out Arrangement.
The Company currently holds approximately 60.24% of the Synergy Shares, excluding the 10,000 Synergy
Shares to be issued to the Company under the Arrangement Agreement, and following the completion of
the proposed Spin- Out Arrangement the Company is anticipated to hold approximately 30.03% of the
Synergy Shares, while the Company Shareholders will hold approximately 30.33% of the Synergy Shares.
Merger
Subsequent to the Spin-Out Arrangement, Synergy proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding
common shares in the capital of 142 (" 142 Shares") in exchange for an equivalent number of Synergy
Shares by way of a three cornered amalgamation whereby Synergy SubCo and 142 will amalgamate under
the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the " Amalgamation") to continue as
one corporation pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As consideration for the 142 Shares,
shareholders of the 142 Shares ("142 Shareholders") will receive, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, one
Synergy Share for each 142 Share held.

39055931v3
Following completion of the Amalgamation under the Merger Agreement, the issued and outstanding
Synergy Shares will be held (i) approximately 86.35% by the former 142 Shareholders ( excluding
participants in the Concurrent Financing (defined herein)) , (ii) approximately 4.02% by the Company
Shareholders, (iii) approximately 3.98% by the Company (iv) approximately 5.25% by other existing holders
of Synergy Shares, and (v) 0.40% by participants in the Concurrent Financing. As such, the Amalgamation
will constitute a reverse take over of Synergy by 142. Holders of warrants to purchase 142 Shares (" 142
Warrants") will also receive one replacement warrant to purchase a Synergy Share for each 142 Warrant
held. There are currently 21,000,000 142 Warrants outstanding.
The Amalgamation will be subject to approval by the 142 Shareholders, as well as Synergy (being the sole
shareholder of Synergy SubCo). The Amalgamation's closing will also be subject to 142's completion of a
private placement of 100,000 142 Shares at a price of $0.10 per 142 Share for gross proceeds of a minimum
of $10,000, or an amount otherwise agreed by Synergy and 142 (the " Concurrent Financing"). Upon
completion of the Amalgamation, Synergy intends to make an application that the Synergy Shares be listed
and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The Company is expected to hold 1,000,000 Synergy Shares after the Amalgamation, all of which will be
subject to escrow on the same terms of as insiders of Synergy after the Amalgamation.
Together, the Spin-Out Arrangement and the Amalgamation are intended to effect a reorganization of the
Company's current business into two separate corporate entities. The Company will maintain its business
as a gold exploration company with the objective of exploring and ultimately developing gold projects in
Peru and the USA, while Synergy will be an exploration Company focused on the Dale Property.
