Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - June 17, 2025 Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM | FSE: 7YS0 | OTC: ELMGF) ("Element79 Gold", the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (the "LOI"), dated June 9, 2025, with a private party (the "Vendor") to acquire a 100% interest in the Gold Mountain Project (the "Project"), a strategically located gold asset in Lander County, Nevada, USA.

 

  About Gold Mountain  

 

  The Gold Mountain Project is comprised of 34 unpatented lode mining claims spanning approximately 284 hectares in the historically prolific Battle Mountain mining district of Lander County, Nevada. Centered on the Eocene-aged Gold Mountain stock, the project lies near the past-producing Dewitt Mine and features structurally-controlled oxidized sulfide bodies and porphyry-style mineralization. Historic exploration has been conducted by operators including Oro Nevada, Gold Ventures Inc., and Placer Dome, with significant past intercepts including 10.67 metres at 0.99 g/t Au.   More recent work by the Vendor in 2023 and 2024 included detailed geologic mapping, collection of 116 rock samples, and submission of a Notice of Intent to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which was approved for drilling activity.  

 

  The Gold Mountain Project presents compelling upside potential with both high-grade structurally controlled Au-Ag-Pb mineralization and evidence of porphyry-style mineralization within and around the Gold Mountain intrusive. The property is accessible via well-developed infrastructure near the town of Battle Mountain and benefits from proximity to major mining operations within the region. A suggested first-move exploration plan includes detailed mapping and an RC drill program to delineate targets along historically mineralized structures and test conceptual porphyry and skarn-type systems.  

 

  There is no historical technical report, although the vendor has completed a significant amount of work towards completing a 43-101 compliant Property of Merit report.  The Company aims to complete this report in 2025, post-acquisition of the Gold Mountain asset.  

 

  Transaction Summary  

 

  Under the terms of the LOI, Element79 Gold intends to acquire all rights, title, and interest in and to the Gold Mountain Project, comprising 34 unpatented mining claims, along with all related data, permits, and equipment.  

 

  As consideration for the acquisition, Element79 Gold will issue 100,000,000 common shares to the Vendor at a deemed price per share equal to the lesser of:  

 
  •  

      C$0.02, or  

     
  •  
  •  

      The volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's shares over the ten (10) trading days preceding the closing date,   based on the closing price of the last trading day prior to closing, subject to compliance with the policies of, and approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE").  

     
  •  

  The Company has confirmed through its due diligence that this transaction will not create a new Significant Shareholder or Control Person per the definitions found in National Instrument 55-104.  Hold Periods for the new shareholders created through this transaction are being negotiated and will be agreed upon in the forthcoming Definitive Agreement as part of the completion of this transaction.  

 

  There are no commissions payable for arranging this transaction.  

 

  Conditions Precedent  

 

  The completion of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including but not limited to:  

 
  •  

      Completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Company;  

     
  •

  Exclusivity and Confidentiality  

 

  The Vendor has agreed to a 180-day exclusivity period during which it will not negotiate or solicit offers from third parties concerning the Gold Mountain Project. Both parties have also agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding the proposed transaction, subject to legal disclosure requirements.  

 

  Strategic Rationale  

 

  James C. Tworek, CEO and Director of Element79 Gold, commented:  
"We are excited to announce this acquisition, which drives our corporate pivot back to a primary focus Nevada-focused strategy.  Gold Mountain is drill ready and upon closing, we will work towards a drilling program later this year.  It also consolidates our position within a well-known and highly prospective region for mineral resource development, with meaningful upside potential.  We look forward to completing our due diligence and closing expeditiously."  

 

  Sale of Non-Core Elder Creek Claims  

 

  The Company   has entered into a settlement agreement with a third party, NQ Holdings Inc., to fully and finally resolve a dispute related to overlapping mining claims in Lander County, Nevada. As part of the terms, the Company has agreed to transfer and abandon its interest in the EC01 to EC23 unpatented mining claims, known collectively as the "Elder Creek Claims." In consideration, Element79 received a cash payment of USD $14,000 from NQ Holdings Inc.  

 

  The Elder Creek Claims, located adjacent to the Last 7 to Last 39 claims held by NQ Holdings, were deemed to no longer hold strategic value for the Company. The transaction allows Element79 to resolve the matter amicably without further legal proceedings and to maintain its focus on higher-priority assets within its Nevada portfolio and its Lucero project in Peru.

  The technical information in this release has been reviewed and approved by Kim Kirkland, Fellow of AusIMM #309585, Chief Operating Officer of Element79 Gold Corp, and a "qualified person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
