Newrange Gold Negotiates Agreement to Acquire Pamlico Mining Fleet And Amend Payment Schedule

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, December 20, 2016 – Newrange Gold Corp. (TSXV:NRG) (formerly Colombian Mines Corporation) is pleased to announce it has negotiated an agreement to acquire the entire Pamlico mining fleet at no additional cost to the Company. The fleet, with an estimated value of more than $1.5 million USD by an independent consulting mining engineer, David Russell, is comprised of low hour machines including two EIMCO LHD loaders, a Secoma drill jumbo, main and backup mine compressors and generators, the entire ventilation system and more, providing access to all major components necessary to complete the development and permitted test mining in the Merritt zone at Pamlico.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may acquire this equipment at no additional cost by making the discounted, early payment for Pamlico within 18 months after the July 15, 2016 effective date of the Pamlico Agreement. There is no penalty if the Company does not exercise this option.
The Company and owners also agreed to amend the payment schedule to reflect the current market conditions. Under the amended schedule the Company has paid the Owners $25,000 USD ($33,372 CND) as of December 15, 2016 with the next payment of $125,000 USD ($169,000 CND) due March 1, 2017. The remainder of the Pamlico agreement remains unchanged. These agreements materially enhance the value of the Pamlico project with the net effect of reducing the early acquisition cost by $1.5 million USD ($2 million CND) demonstrating the owners commitment to work with the Company on developing the Pamlico project.
