deemed price of C$0.10 per share, for a total consideration of C$545,200.
Strategic Rationale for the Sale
Since acquiring the Nevada portfolio from Waterton Global Resource Management in 2021,
the Company had stratified projects based on their level of advancement, historical drilling
and exploration results and overall value for retention, sale or release. Following in similar
asset sale processes undertaken by the sale of assets to Centra Mining Ltd. and Sun Silver
Ltd., the divestment is part of Element79’s broader strategy to streamline its portfolio,
concentrating on its most promising assets while maintaining exposure to the future
upside of the Nevada projects through its equity stake in 1472886.
Element79 Gold Corp. CEO and Director James Tworek commented: “This transaction is
another key step in optimizing our portfolio and concentrating our resources on our
flagship projects. The assets in this portfolio represent excellent resource exploration
potential, and we are confident that 1472886, with its strong focus on development, is
well-suited to unlock their value. This deal not only strengthens our balance sheet but also
allows us to retain an interest in the future success of these projects through the share
consideration.”
Details of the Transaction
Under the terms of the agreement, 1472886 will acquire all books, records, and data
associated with the projects, in addition to the mineral claims. Element79 Gold Corp. and
1472886 will collaborate to ensure a smooth transition of ownership. The transaction is
subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from regulatory authorities
and the boards of directors of both companies. The transaction is expected to close by
November 30, 2024.
