EMGOLD ENTERS INTO AMENDED OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE TROILUS
NORTH PROPERTY, QC
Vancouver, British Columbia - Emgold Mining Corporation (TSX -V: EMR) ("Emgold" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an Amendment to the option agreement (the
“Option Agreement”), entered with Chimata on June 27, 2018 and announced by press release on the
same day, granting Emgold the option to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Property from Chimata.
In return for C$200,000 in cash and a payment of one million shares of the Company’s stock, Chimata
will reduce the exploration requirements under the Option Agreement for the Property from C$750,000 to
C$300,000. With exploration work expected to completed on the Property in 2018, Emgold expects to
complete 100% of the exploration requirements under the Option Agreement allowing the Company to
subsequently move forward with the acquisition of the Property by making the remaining share payments
outlined in the Option Agreement at timing of Emgold’s choice, ensuring payments do not create a new
control person under TSX Venture Exchange policies.
