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.
