Element79 Gold Provides Update on Pending Acquisition of Gold Portfolio in Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2021 / Further to its news release dated
October 4, 2021, Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM)(OTC PINK:ELMGF)(FSE:7YS)
("Element79 Gold", the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its acquisition of
1316524 B.C. Ltd. ("Goldco"). As previously disclosed, Element79 Gold is party to a securities
exchange agreement (the "Goldco Agreement") pursuant to which it will acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Goldco (the "Goldco Acquisition"). Goldco is party to an asset
purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Clover Nevada LLC ("Clover
Nevada") and Maverick Springs Mining Company, LLC ("MSMC") to acquire the flagship
Maverick Springs project (the "Maverick Springs Project") and 15 additional projects that
comprise the Battle Mountain portfolio (collectively, the "Battle Mountain Portfolio") (the
"Asset Acquisition" and together with the Goldco Acquisition, the "Transactions"). The
Maverick Springs Project and the Battle Mountain Portfolio are located in the gold mining
regions of northeastern Nevada, home to some of the world's largest gold mines.
The Transactions were originally scheduled be completed on or around November 30, 2021.
However, due to delays associated with Clover Nevada and MSMC obtaining outstanding
consents required in connection with the Asset Acquisition, completion of the Transactions have
been briefly delayed. As such, both the Goldco Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement
have been amended to provide the parties with additional time to complete the transactions
contemplated thereunder. Element79 Gold remains committed to completing the Transactions
and a majority of the closing conditions have been satisfied. Element79 Gold expects to close the
Transactions in December 2021.
"Element79 Gold is ready and able to close the Transactions in a prompt and efficient manner,"
stated James Tworek, Chief Executive Officer of Element79 Gold. "By executing the next step
of our development strategy through the pending acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project and
the Battle Mountain Portfolio, Element79 Gold is gaining access to one of the most prolific gold
mining districts in the world and unlocking value for its shareholders."
Further details regarding the Transactions are set out in Element79 Gold's news releases dated
October 4, 2021.
