EMERGENT METALS CORP.
CONVERTS LEASE TO OWNERSHIP
OF 185 MINERAL CLAIMS AT GOLDEN ARROW, NV
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 10, 2026 – Emergent Metals Corp. (TSXV: EMR, OTC:
EGMCF, FRA: EML, MUN: ELM) (“Emergent” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that
Emergent’s subsidiary, Golden Arrow Mining Corporation (“GAMC”), has entered into a lease termination
agreement (the “ Termination Agreement ”) with Maverix Metals (Nevada) Inc. (“Maverix NV”), a n
indirect subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (TSX: TFPM, NYSE: TFPM) (“Triple Flag”).
Pursuant to the Termination Agreement and certain ancillary documents , Maverix NV has effected the
transfer of 185 unpatented mineral claims historically known as the Baughman Claims (collectively, the
“Conveyed Property”) to GAMC.
Maverix NV will retain a reserved royalty (the “Reserved Royalty”) on both the Conveyed Property and
292 additional unpatented mineral claims in the area of influence (the “AOI Property”, and together with
the Conveyed Property, the “ Royalty Property”) designated in the original Baughman lease agreement
and subsequent amendments (together, the “ Lease”), which Reserved Royalty consists of an advance
minimum royalty (“AMR”) and a production net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”). The AMR is US$25,000
per year, and the NSR is 3% once the Royalty Property reaches the production stage. GAMC has the ability
to acquire 1% of the NSR, at any time, for US$1,000,000.
The result of the transactions described above is that the Lease has been terminated, GAMC has obtained
ownership of the Conveyed Property, and Maverix NV has retained a reserved royalty interest in the
Conveyed Property and the AOI Property.
In connection with the Termination Agreement , and in order to satisfy all past due and unpaid AMR
payments owing by GAMC to Maverix NV under the Lease, Emergent and Maverix Metals Inc., the parent
company of Maverix NV and a subsidiary of Triple Flag (“Maverix Canada”) , have entered into a debt
conversion agreement (the “ Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which Emergent has agreed to issue
1,767,565 common shares of the Company (each, a “ Share”) to Maverix Canada at a deemed price of
$0.11625 per Share, representing US$150,000 in debt converted into Canadian dollars at an exchange rate
of US$0.73 per C$1.00 (the “Debt Conversion”). The Company is proposing to issue the foregoing Shares
to Maverix Canada , which will be subject to a standard hold period of four months and one day in
accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, in order to preserve its available cash.
Both the Debt Conversion and the Conversion Agreement are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange (the “Exchange”).
