VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 19, 2024 / NV Gold
Corporation (TSXV:NVX) (OTCQB:NVGLF) (FSE:8NV) (“NV Gold” or the “Company”)
announces that that it has entered into (i) a secured loan agreement with John Watson
(the “ Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender provided a loan to the Company in the
principal amount of US$50,000 (the “Secured Loan”) and (ii) a share pledge agreement
with the Lender, which secures an aggregate principal amount of US$400,000 in loans
provided to the Company by the Lender to date, as described herein.
The Company previously entered into loan agreements with the Lender on June 26, 2023,
July 10, 2023, September 18, 2023 and January 22, 2024, pursuant to which the Lender
provided the Company with loans in the aggregate principal amount of US$350,000 (the
“Prior Loans” and together with the Secured Loan, the “Loans”).
Each of the Loans bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, and
have a maturity date which is the earlier of one year from the effective date of the
applicable loan agreement and the date the Lender demands repayment of the applicable
Loan.
As security for the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the Company’s
performance under each loan agreement , the Company and the Lender entered into a
share pledge agreement. Pursuant to the share pledge agreement, the Company pledged
to the Lender all of the issued and outstanding common shares of NV Gold Corporation
(USA), Inc. (the “NV Gold USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which holds
the Company’s mineral projects and lease agreements in the United States.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101
The issuance of the Loans and entering into of the share pledge agreement are each a
"related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61 -101- Protection of Minority

Company. The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority

of MI 61 -101 on the basis that the transactions did not exceed 25% of the fair market

commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Loans were
obtained from a person dealing at arm’s length with the Company. The Company did not
file a material change report more than 21 days before the en tering into of the share
