Sky GOLD Corp Acquires the Imperial Project Located Contiguous to AMEX Exploration’S Perron Project, Quebec, Expanding Precious and Base Metal Exploration Portfolio
SKY GOLD CORP ACQUIRES THE IMPERIAL PROJECT
LOCATED CONTIGUOUS TO AMEX EXPLORATION’S PERRON
PROJECT, QUEBEC, EXPANDING PRECIOUS AND BASE
METAL EXPLORATION PORTFOLIO
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 27th, 2021 – Sky Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SKYG)
(US:SRKZF) ("Sky Gold" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
signed two definitive agreements (collectively the “Agreement”) for two contiguous
claim blocks (the “claims” or “Projects”) comprising the Imperial Property (“Imperial”
or the “Property”) which shares 4.7 kilometers of it’s northern border with Amex
Exploration’s (TSX-V: AMX) Perron Property in Quebec, where high-grade gold has
been intersected in three zones along a 3.2 kilometre corridor. To the east, the claims
adjoin Generic Gold Corp. (CSE: GGC) who are set to commence 7,500 metres of
drilling in the coming weeks, targeting both orogenic gold and gold-rich volcanogenic
massive sulfides (VMS) style mineralization. The two Projects, named La Reine and Le
Roi, comprise a combined 228 claims covering approximately 6,575.84 hectares in the
gold and VMS-prospective Abitibi Greenstone Belt region of Ontario and Quebec. Refer
to maps in Figures 1 & 2.
Mike England, CEO & President, commented: “The acquisition of the Imperial Property
is a result of over 12 months of discussions and negotiations, and we are most excited
to finally get this deal done. New geological interpretations in Quebec have now been
leading to very exciting discoveries, such as Amex and Starr Peak have seen, and we
are eager to begin exploring for gold and base metals in very similar geological units
in Quebec as well as on trend across the border into Ontario.”
The Imperial Property
The Imperial Property is located to the Southwest of, and contiguous with Amex
Exploration Inc.’s (TSX-V: AMX) Perron project, which has made several significant
high-grade gold discoveries. Recently announced noteable gold intersections at Perron
include 70.92 g/t Au over 3.90 metres, including 367.50 g/t Au over 0.60 metres, at
160 metres vertical depth, and 70.92 g/t Au over 3.90 metres, including 367.50 g/t
Au over 0.60 metres, at 190 metres vertical depth (refer to AMX news release May 26,
2021). Further to the Northeast is the past-producing Normétal mine, currently held
by Starr Peak Exploration (TSX-V: STE), which was mined periodically from the 1930’s
through to 1975 from surface to a depth of 2.4 km (SIGEOM-Mine Normétal).
The Property is underlain by a mafic-intermediate metavolcanics belt of the Stoughton-
Roquemaure Group and the Hunter Mine Group, bordered to the North by a greywacke
Unit of the Chicobi Group and to the South by the Abitibi Lake syn-tectonic pluton. The
Property is crossed east-west by the Abitibi Thrust Fault, which dips 70 degrees to the
South. The overall lithological package strikes east-west and deeps steeply to the
South and is contiguous to the Amex Exploration property to the North East.
Historical exploration efforts across the Property have resulted in the discovery of 10
mineral showings (Mineral Deposit Inventory Record – Ontario Government) across
the project. Historical exploration works include diamond drilling, overburden drilling,
airborne magnetics, ground geophysics including magnetics and electromagnetics,
surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and prospecting. Companies that
conducted the work include but are not limited to Kennco, Canadian Superior Ltd.,
Asarco, Cominco, Eastern Mines Inc., Seal River Exploration, and East West Resources
Corp. Mineralization at showings range from anomalous copper and zinc associated
with disseminated to massive sulfide layers (pyrrhotite/pyrite), gold in till from
overburden drill sampling with a high amount of delicate gold grains (indicating a
proximal source), as well as trace to anomalous gold and copper in diamond drilling.

Definitive Agreement Terms
The Agreements set out proposed transactions (the “Proposed Transaction”) pursuant
to which Sky Gold will acquire a 100% interest in two separate vendor’s (collectively
the “Vendors”) Projects, collectively called the Imperial Property. The proposed
transactions are subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) approval.
To purchase a 100% interest in the two Projects the Company will pay cumulative
payments, within 5 days of TSX Venture approval, of 10,500,000 shares of the
Company, $150,000 cash and grant the Vendor’s a 3% Net Smelter Return (NSR) for
each of the two agreements, of which one (1%) can be purchased by the Company
from each Vendor at any time for $1,000,000.
Qualified Person – Catherine Fitzgerald, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National
Instrument 43-101, and Independent Director of Sky Gold, is the Qualified Person
responsible for reviewing and approving the technical contents of this news release as
they pertain to the Imperial Project.
