Alerio Gold Announces Closing of the Puruni Properties
Vancouver, British Columbia – July 6, 2022 – Alerio Gold Corp. (the “Company”) (ALE: CSE). Further to the
Company’s News Release of February 15, 2022, the Company is pleased to announce that it has closed on
the Purchase Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in five gold prospecting licences in Guyana known as the
Puruni Gold Property (the “Property”), as described below. In consideration for the acquisition of the
Property, the Company paid to the Property vendors an aggregate of $300,000 and is issuing 27,000,000
common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Payment Shares”) at a deemed price of $ 0.10 per
Payment Share.
The Property
The Puruni Gold Property (“Puruni” or “the Property”) is located approximately 250 kilometers southwest
of Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. The Property can be reached by road (arriving as close as the Peters
Mine), helicopter, or riverboat with a gravel road from the Mazaruni River passing within a few hundred
meters of the Property.
The Property consists of five (5) Mining Permits – Medium Scale (MP) and one (1) Prospectinb Permit –
Medium Scale (PPMS) totalling in area 36 km2 (approx.. 9000 Acres). The Permits are traversed by the Puruni
River in the Mazaruni Mining District No. 3, Guyana, N.T.S. Sheet Puruni – 26 S.W.
The northernmost boundary of the Puruni Gold Property lies 2.5 kilometres south of the historic Peters Mine
(owned by Zijim Mining as a result of their purchase of Guyana Goldfields in 2020) one of the first recorded
gold mines in Guyana. The Peters Mine was discovered in the 1890’s by porknockers (local small -scale
miners) and underground development and mining were in operation prior to WW1. The district has been
subjected to a number of regional airborne and ground exploration surveys that focussed on the Peters Mine
area and which have defined a north-south trending deformation zone, which hosts the quartz vein-related
gold mineralization at Peters Mine, and trends onto the Puruni Gold Property.
All securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are subject to restrictions on resale for a period of
four (4) months plus one day from the closing. In addition, the Company will issue 1,000,000 shares to
consultants in consideration of corpora te advisory services in connection with closing the Puruni Property
acquisition and other services for the Company.
