Gold Property in Nevada; Finalizing Work
Programs and Drilling Permit Submissions
Underway
CALGARY, AB,
Dec. 13, 2021
/CNW/ - North
Peak Resources Ltd.
(TSXV: NPR) (the
"
Company
") has received final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "
Exchange
") for its
option (the "
Option
") to acquire from Minex, LLC the previously drilled and explored 2,733 acre
Black Horse gold and silver property (the "
Property
") located 50 miles east of
Ely
in
White Pine
County, Nevada
(the "
Transaction
"). The Company issued a press release on
December 6, 2021
announcing the binding definitive agreement with Minex (the "
Agreement
"), and additional
information regarding the history of the Property (including the
historical inferred mineral resource estimates*) and the material terms and conditions of the
Agreement can be found in that press release.
"As important as the drive for gold production will be with the Company's newly organized local
team, the potential in applying modern exploration technology towards identifying gold in the Black
Horse district where high grade ore was mined in the early 1900's, cannot be overstated," said
Brian
Hinchcliffe
, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company. "The drilling Minex and
Gary Grauberger
carried out on the Black Horse property in the late 1990's provides an excellent historical resource
and we will assess that resource and the potential for expansion as early as possible in 2022."*
In connection with final acceptance from the Exchange and the terms of the Agreement, the
Company has initiated a cash payment of
US$1 million
and issuance of 1,250,000 common shares to
Minex, at its direction, to initiate the Option. Those common shares have a deemed per share
consideration of
US$0.40
or
C$0.508
per share pursuant to the terms of the Transaction. The last
closing price of the Company's shares prior to the announcement of the Agreement was
C$1.48
per
share. The Company now has 21,334,455 common shares issued and outstanding.
The Company's focus now is finalizing a work program and putting in place the necessary permits
and contractors to undertake such work program, proposed for Q1 2022. The Company will issue
additional press releases related to its progress on exploration of the Property and other material
information as it becomes available.
In addition to the terms and conditions of the Agreement set forth in the Company's
December 6
th
press release, we note that the Company has a right of first refusal over the Property should Minex
seek to transfer or assign its interests in the Property (which transfer or assignment is only possible
two years after the initiation of the Option).

*CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING HISTORICAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES:
As described in
detail in the Company's
December 6, 2021
press release, a Qualified Person has not done
sufficient work for the Company to classify the historical resource estimates referenced therein as
a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. The Company is not treating those historical
estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and has not verified the historical
resource estimates. The reader is cautioned that the data used in the preparation of those
historical resource estimates does not meet the current standards of exploration quality assurance
and quality control protocols and significant additional drilling (including diamond drilling, some
which will twin earlier holes), data verification (quality control), would be required to ensure the
quality of historic data meets current standards for use in a resource estimate. See the Company's
December 6, 2021
press release for further information.
In addition,
mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not demonstrate economic
viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted to
mineral reserves.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS CONCERNING HISTORICAL RESOURCE
ESTIMATE:
This news release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
securities laws in effect in
Canada
, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). For example,
the term "inferred mineral resource" is a Canadian mining term as defined in accordance with
Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These
definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC.
Accordingly, information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar
information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
:
This news
release includes certain "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian securities
legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements with respect
timing and completion of any drilling and work programs on the Property,
estimates of
mineralization from drilling, geological information projected from sampling results and the
potential quantities and grades of the target zones
, potential for minerals and/or mineral resources,
and statements regarding the plans, intentions, beliefs, and current expectations of the Company
with respect to the future business activities and operating performance of the Company that may
be described herein
. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely
historical, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding
the future. Such information can generally be identified by the use of forwarding-looking wording
such as "may", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "intend", "believe" and "continue" or the negative
thereof or similar variations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which
they are based will occur.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the
predictions, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur.
These assumptions, risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the state of the economy
in general and capital markets in particular,
accuracy of assay results, geological interpretations
from drilling results, timing and amount of capital expenditures; performance of available
laboratory and other related services, future operating costs, and the historical basis for current
estimates of potential quantities and grades of target zones,
as well as those risk factors discussed
or referred to in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended
December 31, 2020
, and the period ended
September 30, 2021
available at
www.sedar.com
,
many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Forward-looking statements contained in
this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this
press release. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any intention and assumes no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Additionally, the Company undertakes no obligation to
comment on the expectations of, or statements made by, third parties in respect of the matters
