NEWS RELEASE
Evergold Enhances the Copper Potential of its Golden Lion Property in BC’s
Toodoggone Region by Acquiring 100% of the Copper King Inlier Prospects,
Plans Share Consolidation
Toronto, Ontario – July 9, 2025 - Ev ergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ) (“Evergold” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to be granted an option to acquire a 100% ownership
interest in four inlier claim groups totaling 173 hectares (the “Option”), located within the northern half of its Golden Lion
property (Figures 1 and 2)(the “ Acquired Tenures”). The Option, which is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange, is conditional on the Company first completing a consolidation of the common shares in the capital of Evergold
(“Evergold Shares”) on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation common share for each one (1) post-consolidation common
share (the “Consolidation”) and requires the staged payment over two years of $80,000 worth of post-Consolidation
Evergold Shares (together, the “Consideration Shares”) at a price per post-Consolidation Evergold Share equal to the
greater of: (i) $0.15 per post-Consolidation Evergold Share; and (ii) the last closing price per post-Consolidation Evergold
Share on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) prior to the date of issuance. In addition, upon the Company exercising the
Option, it shall grant to the Optionor a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty, 1.5 percentage points of which may be bought
back for $1.5 million. The Consideration Shares shall be issued in stages as follows: (i) $20,000 of post-Consolidation
Shares issued on the date that is one calendar week following the effective date of the Consolidation; (ii) $20,000 of post-
Consolidation Shares issued on July 2, 2026; and (iii) $40,000 of post-Consolidation Shares issued on July 2, 2027.
All Evergold Shares shall be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Completion of
the Option and the Consolidation is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of
the TSXV and, in the case of the Conso lidation, approval of two-thirds of s hareholder votes cast at the Company’s
forthcoming Annual General and Special Meeting, to be held on September 11, 2025.
The Acquired Tenures cover the non-contiguous Goat, Chuck, Copper King and Claw prospects, collectively known as the
‘Copper King’ property. Historical drilling in 1975 at Claw of five shallow holes (assessment reports #05635 and 05657)
each returned numerous references in drill logs to copper mineralization including native copper, bornite, chalcopyrite,
malachite, azurite and chrysocolla, for the most part hosted wi thin porphyritic andesite. None of the holes were assayed
at the time. Subsequent rock sampling carried out over the area of the claims in 1984 (assessment report #12871) returned
“widespread” areas containing high values of copper and silver mineralization in vein-fracture systems and disseminations
in altered country rock. Reports at the time recommended waiting for higher metal prices prior to carrying out additional
work, and no exploration activity is known to have occurred in the years since.
“These new claims encompass the best porphyry prospects with in the current limits of our Golden Lion property,” said
Kevin Keough, President and CEO. “Their acquisition builds upon a surge of exploration activity this year in the
Toodoggone camp, following Freeport-Amarc’s recent discovery, in similar BCGS “Red Line” geology some 40 kms to the
south, of the exciting ‘Aurora’ copper-gold porphyry intrusion, and supports a planned renewal of exploration at Golden
Lion this season, to be focused on selected areas of the new claims, as well as on the Yellow Dog and GL2 target areas
on the southern half of the property.”
DEM Property Option Commitments Deferred
All staged cash payment and work commitments for the DEM property, further to a property option agreement entered into
on August 1, 2023, have been deferred for one year by the property vendors, at no cost to the Company. Early drilling in
two small programs in 2023 and 2024 at the road accessible DEM porphyry prospect, located near Fort St. James in
2
central B.C., returned excellent results (see news, January 15, 2024 and December 11, 2024), including high grades at
the individual sample level of both precious and critical meta ls within a broad low-grade envelope, in what is believed to
be the alteration halo around an intrusive centre. Drill pads have been left in place and the Company anticipates returning
to the site in future, subject to available financing.
