Almadex Sells its Remaining Interest in the Ponderosa Property, Spence’s Bridge Gold District
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals L td. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell its remaining 40% interest in the
Ponderosa property (the “Property”) to Au Gold Corp. (“AUGC”).
On September 11, 2019, Almadex announced that it had granted 1201361 BC Ltd., a predecessor company
to AUGC, an option to acquire a 60% interest in this 41.5 Ha property. AUGC has since completed its earn-
in requirements through a combination of share payments and exploration ex penditures. Rather than
proceed to enter into a 60/40 joint venture as provided for under the original option agreement, Almadex
has agreed to terminate the option agreement and sell to AUGC its remaining 40% interest in the Property
in return for the following:
1. 750,000 shares of AUGC payable on closing;
2. The grant of a 2.0% NSR to Almadex;
3. 500,000 shares of AUGC conditional upon definition of a mineral resource of at least 250,000
ounces gold.
Upon completion of this transaction, Almadex will own approximately 1,080,000 shares of AUGC and retain
a 2% NSR royalty on the Property. The Property represents a core area of AUGC’s larger 420Ha property
which it also refers to as “Ponderosa”. Almadex lo oks forward to AUGC’s continued exploration of this
prospective area.
Closing of the Agreement is subject to AUGC receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
