North Birch and Argosy drilling programs. Drilling at North Birch is expected to begin in early February with at least five holes planned along approximately three kilometers of strike on the main target horizon. At the past-producing Argosy gold mine, first phase drilling will begin in March and test the depth of known veins below historic mine workings and the continuity of other veins. Geophysical surveys inform drilling at North Birch. In April 2021, Newrange completed an induced polarization (IP) survey over the eastern portion of the North Birch project area covering the main target horizon. The survey revealed several well-defined chargeability anomalies which will be targeted for drilling that coincide with the target horizon along the limb of the sheared and folded iron formation. A LiDAR survey conducted last summer revealed a pronounced break in the topography reflecting an 8-kilometer-long shear zone along the main fold limb of the iron formation. Going deeper at Argosy. At the historic Argosy mine, only four veins were mined to a maximum depth of about 270 meters. Drilling in 2003 and 2004 intersected gold mineralization to a depth of 400 meters, including 10.46 grams of gold per tonne over 2.98 meters and 14.15 grams of gold per tonne over 1.65 meters, indicating that mineralization continues at depth. Newrange has compiled information from 72 historic drill holes in conjunction with outlines of the underground mine workings to complete a preliminary three-dimensional model that is being used to better understand Argosy's vein system and assist in planning the drill program. Rating is Outperform. We think 2022 will be an eventful year for Newrange as the focus moves to its properties in the Birch-Uchi Belt in Ontario. We believe the drilling program could help investors better understand the significant potential of both projects. We anticipate additional drilling at the company's Pamlico project in Nevada during the second quarter of 2022. Read More >>

Newrange and Great Panther Terminate Agreement to Acquire Coricancha Mine in Peru
(TheNewswire)
TSXV:NRG ) (OTC :NRGOF ) ( Frankfurt:X6C) Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") announces that it has signed a Mutual Termination Agreement with Great Panther Mining Limited ("Great Panther"), terminating the Share Purchase Agreement to acquire the Coricancha Gold-Silver-Copper-Lead-Zinc Mine in Central Peru
"We are deeply disappointed to have arrived at this outcome," stated Robert Archer, President and CEO of Newrange. "We have been working on this acquisition since March and believe strongly in the potential of the Coricancha Mine. However, the current market for mining stocks, one of the worst in decades, has created a serious impediment to financing, especially for new acquisitions. While we attempted to gain an extension to the closing date, the intransigence of Great Panther's creditors has, regrettably, made that impossible."
As a result of the termination of this acquisition, the Company will not be proceeding with the proposed financing, share consolidation and name change at this time and it is anticipated that trading in the Company's shares will resume within days.
About Newrange Gold Corp.
Newrange is currently focused on district-scale exploration for precious metals in the prolific Red Lake District of northwestern Ontario. The past-producing high-grade Argosy Gold Mine is open to depth, while the adjacent North Birch Project offers additional blue-sky potential.

Newrange Arranges Non-Brokered Private Placement for $10,080,000
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA TheNewswire - November 7, 2022 (TSXV:NRG ) (OTC :NRGOF ) ( Frankfurt:X6C) Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") announces that it is arranging a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $10,080,000 (the "Offering"). The placement is anticipated to close on or about November 25, 2022 following a ‘one new for six old' share consolidation (to be voted upon by shareholders at the AGSM on November 23, 2022) and, as such, will be priced at the post consolidation share price of $0.18. The placement will consist of up to 56,000,000 units (the "Units") with each Unit comprising one common share ("Share") in the capital of the Company and one-half share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), whereby each whole Warrant shall be convertible into an additional Share at an exercise price of $0.27 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. The Company will have the right to seek an accelerated exercise of the Warrants if the price of the Shares trade in excess of C$0.40 for 10 consecutive trading days. All proceeds will be held by the Company in a separate account pending closing and will be released to the Company concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Coricancha Mine. If the closing does not occur by November 25, 2022, or such date to be mutually agreed upon, the proceeds will be returned to the investor without interest or deduction. A finder's fee of up to 7% in cash and 7% in warrants exercisable into Shares at $0.27 for a period of 36 months may also be paid.
The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Coricancha Gold-Silver-Copper-Lead-Zinc ("Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn") Mine in Central Peru ("Coricancha"; see Newrange news releases of September 13 and October 26 , 2022), continued care and maintenance costs, exploration and development of the mine and general working capital.
All securities to be issued will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance and subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
Coricancha is a high-grade, narrow-vein, underground mine in the Central Polymetallic Belt of Peru. It is located 90 kilometres east of Lima on the Central Highway and comprises a 600 tonne per day processing plant, dry-stack tailings storage facility and all necessary surface and underground infrastructure. The mine was in production intermittently from 1906 – 2013 and has been on care-and-maintenance since then. The mine, plant and dry-stack tailings storage facility are in excellent shape and are fully permitted. Coricancha is located within a well-established mining district and local communities are fully supportive of the operation. Two of three community agreements are already in place, with the third only pending a final signature.
A Mineral Resource Estimate was filed for Coricancha with an effective date of December 20, 2017 1 that is considered by Newrange to be Historical in nature. The Company is not relying on these estimates as a qualified person on behalf of Newrange has not done sufficient work to classify them as current mineral resources. Newrange intends to conduct its own drilling to bring the resource estimate into compliance for the Company. The Historical Resource comprises total Measured and Indicated Resources of 752,759 tonnes at 5.8 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au, 200 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 2.07% Pb and 3.26% Zn (999 g/t silver equivalent ounces 2 ("Ag Eq Oz")), for a contained 24.20 million Ag Eq Oz, and total Inferred Resources of 943,160 tonnes at 5.0 g/t Au, 209 g/t Ag, 0.64% Cu, 1.45% Pb and 3.25% Zn (934 g/t Ag Eq Oz) for a contained 28.36 million Ag Eq Oz. The Historical Resource Estimate and associated Preliminary Economic Assessment are available as a reference on SEDAR at www.sedar.ca .
There are more than twenty veins known in the Coricancha deposit with most past production having come from the Constancia and Wellington Veins, approximately 600 metres apart and parallel to one another. They have a known strike length of more than 1,500 metres and a vertical extent in excess of 1,000 metres. A third vein, Escondida, lies between, and appears to connect, the two and has seen minimal exploration, development or production yet shows excellent potential, particularly where it is exposed on the main haulage level at 3140 metres above sea level. A development drift on this level exposed the Escondida vein over several hundred metres of strike length and ended at a face assaying 429 g/t Ag, 7.17% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au, 0.37% Pb and 0.68% Zn over 2.1 metres. Newrange intends to initially focus on the Escondida vein with the intent to define a new, updated resource estimate and mine plan. At full production, it is estimated that Coricancha could produce approximately 3 million Ag Eq Oz per year.

Newrange Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Coricancha Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn Mine in Peru
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA TheNewswire - September 13, 2022 (TSXV:NRG ) (OTC :NRGOF ) ( Frankfurt:X6C) Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") announces that, on September 12, 2022, it signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Great Panther Mining Limited ("Great Panther") to acquire a 100% interest in the Coricancha Gold-Silver-Copper-Lead-Zinc ("Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn") Mine in Central Peru ("Coricancha") . It is anticipated that a Definitive Agreement will be signed in the coming weeks.
Coricancha is a high-grade, narrow-vein, gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc underground mine in the Central Polymetallic Belt of Peru. It is located 90 kilometres east of Lima on the Central Highway and comprises a 600 tonne per day processing plant, dry-stack tailings storage facility and all necessary surface and underground infrastructure. The mine was in production intermittently from 1906 – 2013 and has been on care-and-maintenance since then but is in excellent shape and is fully permitted. It is located within a well-established mining district and local communities are fully supportive of the operation. Two of three community agreements are already in place, with the third only pending a final signature.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to acquire the Coricancha Mine," stated Robert Archer, President and CEO of Newrange. "I believe the project presents an exceptional opportunity to build a significant resource, develop the known veins towards production and further explore the property. Despite the long production history, there have only been 105 holes drilled on the property since 2010 and there is tremendous opportunity to extend the mine life and make new discoveries. In making this acquisition, Newrange is effectively following a well-established business model of bringing a past producing mine back into production, with the intent to supplement the future growth of the Company out of cash flow rather than straight equity."
A Mineral Resource Estimate was filed for Great Panther with an effective date of December 20, 2017 1 that is considered by Newrange to be Historical in nature. The Company is not relying on these estimates as a qualified person on behalf of Newrange has not done sufficient work to classify them as current mineral resources. Newrange intends to conduct its own drilling to bring the resource estimate into compliance for the Company. The Historical Resource comprises total Measured and Indicated Resources of 752,759 tonnes at 5.8 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au, 200 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 2.07% Pb and 3.26% Zn (999 g/t silver equivalent ounces 2 ("Ag Eq Oz")), for a contained 24.20 million Ag Eq Oz, and total Inferred Resources of 943,160 tonnes at 5.0 g/t Au, 209 g/t Ag, 0.64% Cu, 1.45% Pb and 3.25% Zn (934 g/t Ag Eq Oz) for a contained 28.36 million Ag Eq Oz. The Historical Resource Estimate and associated Preliminary Economic Assessment are available as a reference on SEDAR at www.sedar.ca .
There are more than twenty veins known in the Coricancha deposit with most past production having come from the Constancia and Wellington Veins, approximately 600 metres apart and parallel to one another.

There is a general zonation from gold, silver and arsenic in the upper parts of the deposit towards copper and silver in the ‘lower' levels (the system has not been adequately tested below the 3140m level). Lead and zinc occur throughout the deposit in varying amounts.
In the Letter of Intent, the acquisition is contemplated to take place via a share purchase agreement whereby Newrange will purchase all of the shares of Great Panther Peru Holdings Ltd. and Great Panther Silver Peru, S.A.C., both wholly owned subsidiaries of Great Panther and the owners of the Coricancha Mine. Terms of the acquisition call for Newrange to make a single cash payment of US$750,000 to Great Panther upon closing and the transaction will be on an "as-is" basis. Being a cash-only transaction, shareholder approval will not be required. As the acquisition will be subject to financing, the Company is contemplating a ‘one new for six old' share consolidation and subsequent name change to be effective upon closing. The transaction will constitute a Fundamental Acquisition for Newrange and will be an arm's length transaction, further details of which will be announced upon signing of the Definitive Agreement. Similarly, details of the financing, share consolidation and name change, should they occur, will be announced in due course, all of which will be subject to TSXV approval.

Newrange Provides Exploration Update
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA TheNewswire - May 17, 2022 (TSXV:NRG ) (OTC :NRGOF ) ( Frankfurt:X6C) Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on its exploration projects in the Red Lake District of Ontario and the Walker Lane Trend of Nevada.
North Birch Project
At the North Birch Project, 110 kilometres northeast of Red Lake, two diamond drill holes were completed for a total of 723 metres. Although the winter drill program was expected to include additional holes, highly variable weather forced a late start and early conclusion. The holes were drilled to test a folded sequence of Iron Formation ("IF") and volcanic rocks in a structural setting similar to the Musselwhite Mine, 190 kilometres to the northeast (see Figure 1 below).
Figure 1: North Birch Drill Holes in ‘Fold Nose' interpreted from airborne magnetics
As previously reported (Newrange Press Release of March 9, 2022), hole NB22001 intersected a deformation zone more than 100 metres wide that had been interpreted from geophysics and LiDAR surveys. The hole collared in massive to pillowed Fe-tholeiitic basalt and shearing started approximately 200 metres downhole, becoming more intense with depth. The basalt becomes increasingly magnetic downhole and laminated IF first appears at 421 metres. Folding is apparent in the IF and both basalt and IF display moderate to intense carbonate alteration and local quartz veining. Pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization occur as disseminations, stringers and, locally, as ‘clots' within quartz veins and veinlets.
Gold and copper assays increased downhole as shearing intensified. Values were geochemically anomalous, with high values of 0.25 g/t Au and 363 ppm Cu, and the relationship of gold and copper to shearing, quartz-carbonate alteration and pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization are all encouraging signs considering that this horizon has never been drilled before. Not only does Newrange control about eight kilometres of this horizon but this first hole stopped in highly sheared IF at 460 metres (vertical depth of approximately 320 metres) as the drill had reached its depth limitation. Follow up holes will be drilled in the opposite direction due to the local topography and the sub-vertical dip of the zone.
Hole NB22002 was drilled 800 metres along stratigraphic strike to the northwest to test coincident magnetic and Induced Polarization anomalies. The hole was drilled to 263 metres at -50°, in massive to pillowed basalt and mafic tuff. While the anomalies were explained by the presence of chalcopyrite- pyrrhotite stringers, which returned no significant gold assays, a zone of strong biotite alteration with highly anomalous trace element geochemistry was intersected just below this zone, indicating strong hydrothermal activity. The deformation zone and IF intersected in the first hole were not seen in the second hole indicating that this structure does not appear to follow exactly along the main limb of the fold but likely trends closer to the central axis.
"We are very encouraged by the presence of strong deformation, alteration, and anomalous geochemistry in the initial holes at North Birch," stated Robert Archer, President & CEO of Newrange. "Considering that this horizon is not exposed at surface and has never been drill-tested before, these are all positive indicators that are common to gold systems elsewhere in the Uchi Subprovince. We look forward to follow-up drilling to better understand the overall setting."
Argosy Gold Mine Project
Due to the above-described weather challenges and resulting shortened drilling season, no holes were drilled on the adjacent Argosy Gold Mine Project this past winter. However, the first drill sites have been prepared and the initial holes will test both the down-dip extension of gold mineralization below the historic mine workings and in parallel, un-mined veins closer to surface.
Pamlico Project
Management has conducted an in-depth analysis of results to date on the Pamlico Property in Nevada, including an in-house (not NI43-101 compliant) assessment of the Merritt Decline Area and other exploration targets on the property. Following a comprehensive strategic review, which appropriately considered current market conditions and high holding costs, the Board of Directors has concluded that the continuation of the project is no longer in the best interest of shareholders and has terminated the option agreement.
Potential Acquisitions
As part of the aforementioned strategic review, Newrange is actively reviewing several potential acquisition targets in order to maximize shareholder value. The Board is committed to finding a new flagship project that will have the potential to provide significant upside. Discussions are ongoing in this regard and the Company will inform shareholders of any progress in a timely manner.
QA/QC
All drill core was logged, and samples assayed for gold and multi-elements by AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Company's QA/QC sample protocol consisted of the collection of samples no less than 0.10 metres and no greater than 1.5 metres in core length over the mineralized portions of the drill hole. Envelopes to mineralized zones were commonly sampled as well. The drill core was cut in half with a diamond saw, with half of the core placed in sample bags and the other half secured in the core box on site. One commercially prepared standard or blank was inserted in series every ten samples (10% of the samples). Samples were then transported by company personnel directly to the AGAT Labs facility. AGAT received, recorded and tracked all samples. Gold analyses were obtained by industry standard fire assay with ICP finish using a 30 gram aliquot. For samples returning values greater than 10 g/t gold, follow-up fire assay with a gravimetric finish is completed. Samples were also analyzed for 35 element trace and major element ICP-OES. AGAT Laboratories is an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IES 17025:2017 accredited lab for the preparation and analyses performed on the Newrange samples.

TEM | Yalgoo Update - High-Grade Iron Intercepted in Early Drilling at Remorse
Tempest Minerals Limited (ASX: TEM) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration activities at the Yalgoo Project. The Company has received assay results from the first of the recently drilled holes at the Remorse Target which shows intercepts of high-grade iron. RC hole WARDH0160 has returned a 32m down-hole intersection of magnetite-hosted iron, grading up to 39.34% Fe. The promising iron grades were intersected whilst drilling the Remorse copper-zinc soil anomaly target and represent a significant opportunity for further iron-focussed exploration in addition to base and precious metals. Multiple untested zones exhibiting such magnetite mineralisation apparently exist, each being 7 km in strike length. Further results are expected in coming weeks.
Key Points
- High-grade magnetite iron intercepted in RC drilling.
- Extensive, consistent and unexplored iron targets.
- Undercover magnetic highs with similar signature show substantial additional potential.
Remorse Project
High-Grade Iron
Although assays are only available for one hole to date, the intersection of high-grade magnetite iron is an exciting development in the prospectivity of the Remorse target. Although extensive iron-rich stratigraphy was noted in all work to date, due to the surface expression, it was viewed through the geological lens of a gangue mineral associated with base metal deposit styles such as VMS. However, drilling into the fresh rock below weathered, cherty, haematite-goethite-magnetite outcrops has shown consistent medium-grained, massive, high-grade, magnetite-rich mineralisation in the sub-surface.

More High-Grade Gold Discovered in New Areas at Dynasty Gold Project
5m @ 5.0 g/t Au G 20.6 g/t Ag returned from trenching at new Tomahawk target
Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) (ASX:TTM) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s 100% held Dynasty Gold Project (Dynasty) in southern Ecuador, where it has been conducting extensive exploration in underexplored areas outside the currently defined 3.1 Moz gold and 22 Moz silver Mineral Resource.
Key Highlights
- More high-grade gold discovered at Tomahawk, with an impressive trench result of 5m @ 5.0 g/t Au G 20.6 g/t Ag, including a high-grade zone of 2m @ 11.2 g/t Au and 33.0 g/t Ag. Discovered by reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling earlier this year, Tomahawk is a new exploration target that has never been drill tested.
- The latest result from Tomahawk is in addition to previously announced high- grade trench results from Iguana extensional areas including:
- 3.0m @ 21.4 g/t Au G 14.1 g/t Ag returned from Iguana south, where a new +400m high-grade gold-silver vein has been discovered. The new vein remains open along strike, is located within a 1km soil geochemical anomaly and has never been drilled.
- 1.8m @ 4.5 g/t Au G 10.6 g/t Ag returned from Iguana east, with results located at the edge of Inferred Mineral Resources within 1.5km long soil geochemical anomaly, in an area that has never been drilled.
- Iguana trench results were returned from areas outside the Dynasty Mineral Resource, in areas which have never been drilled, representing strong resource growth targets.
- These trench results validate the prospectivity of multiple new targets which exhibit high grade gold in rock chips coincident with soil geochemical anomalies and mapped veins. New significant gold-silver trench results from Tomahawk and Iguana provide “proof of concept” over these new exploration and resource extensional targets.
- A large campaign of surface trenching is being expedited over new exploration and resource extensional targets, with a steady flow of results expected over the coming weeks.
- Dynasty mineralisation footprint confirmed to be much larger than the 5.5km x 1km area which contains the 3.1Moz gold and 22Moz silver Mineral Resource. Reconnaissance work and latest results have confirmed mineralisation footprint to be Gkm x 2km, providing significant scope for resource growth from surface.
- Up to 10,000m of drilling is set to test lateral and depth resource extensions along with testing multiple new exploration targets at Dynasty, as the Company works toward a resource update planned for mid-2025.
Titan’s CEO Melanie Leighton commented:
“It’s exciting that our exploration efforts are being rewarded with high-grade gold results fromtrench in several of our newly identified exploration targets at the Dynasty Gold Project. This latest result of 5m @ 5.0 g/t Au returned from Tomahawk, along with the recent result of 3m @ 21.4 g/t Au at Iguana south has proven the fertility of Dynasty over a Skm x 2km area. We now know that the mineral system encompasses a much larger area than the current 3.1Moz gold & 22Moz silver Mineral Resource.
“The revelation of a much larger mineral system bodes extremely well for us, feeding into our Dynasty resource growth strategy. We are expediting the development of further trenches over priority target areas, with a view to test many of these exploration targets in the upcoming ~ 10,000m drilling campaign.
“We look forward to delivering a steady flow of trench results over new targets in the coming weeks, and more excitingly we also look forward to delivering results from resource and exploration drilling programs over the coming months, as we work towards a Dynasty resource update in mid-2025”

Dynasty Activities Update
Titan Minerals Limited (Titan or the Company) (ASX:TTM) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s 100% held Dynasty Gold Project (Dynasty) in southern Ecuador, where it has been conducting extensive exploration in underexplored areas outside the currently defined 3.1 Moz gold and 22 Moz silver Mineral Resource.
Reconnaissance exploration along the Dynasty epithermal system has successfully expanded the gold-silver mineralisation footprint along the entire 9-kilometre corridor, with the mineral system substantially expanded to an area of 9km by 2km, an area much larger than the Mineral Resource area which covers ~ 5.5km x 1km.
Along with the expanded mineralisation footprint, several new exploration and resource extensional gold and copper targets have been highlighted by recent work. Multiple new veins exhibiting high-grade gold have been confirmed from surface by mapping, rock chip sampling and most recently trenching. Importantly, the new veins are in areas never previously explored or drilled and are coincident with large-scale geochemical anomalies.
The Company has been undertaking trenching over new priority targets with the latest results returning significant intersections of high-grade gold-silver and base metals from surface at the new Tomahawk target.

Sarama Resources Secures Funding for Burkina Faso Arbitration Claim
Paves the Way for Lodgement of Substantial Damages Claim
Sarama Resources Ltd. (“Sarama” or the “Company”) (ASX:SRR, TSX- V:SWA) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement (“LFA”) with Locke Capital II LLC, an arm’s length party that specializes in providing funding for dispute resolution (the “Funder”) to commence international arbitration proceedings in relation to its investment dispute (the “Dispute”) with the Government of Burkina Faso (the “Government”).
The Dispute pertains to the illegal withdrawal of the Company’s rights to the Tankoro 2 Exploration Permit (the “Permit”) (refer news release 5 September 2023). The Permit covered the Tankoro Deposit which was the focal point of the Company’s Sanutura Project (the “Project”) which featured a multi-million ounce gold resource.
Litigation Funding Agreement
The LFA provides a four-year non-recourse loan facility (“Facility”) of US$4.4 million to the Company to cover all fees and expenses related to its Claim to Arbitration (the “Claim”).
Security of the Facility is limited to the Claim, associated potential proceeds and all benefits arising from the property and assets of the subsidiary companies comprising the ownership chain (the “Chain”) pertaining to the Project (refer Annual Information Form, 2 April 2024). The Facility has been structured to enable the Company to continue to operate and consolidate its business outside the Chain without encumbrance or lien from the LFA.
All monies advanced through the Facility are non-recourse and repayable only in the event of a successful Claim or settlement of the Dispute that results in the receipt of Proceeds (“Proceeds”) by the Company or in the event of a default by Sarama under the LFA. In the event of the occurrence of a material adverse change under the LFA, the Funder shall be entitled to recover only those funds which were advanced but remain unspent. The Funder’s return is directly tied to the successful award and settlement of the Claim, with the total amount payable being a function of time and total Proceeds receipted. The priorities for distribution of receipted Proceeds are set out in the LFA and where commercially and legally sensitive, shall remain confidential.
If there is no settlement or award (or no default by Sarama under the LFA), the Company does not have an obligation to repay the loan. A detailed budget has been approved as part of the LFA, which covers all expected legal and ancillary costs associated with the arbitration process.
Plans for Arbitration
On 29 November 2023, the Company issued a Notice of Intent to Submit Claims to Arbitration under a bilateral investment treaty between Canada and Burkina Faso. The Government of Burkina Faso did not respond substantively to the Company’s efforts to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute. With funding to support legal costs secured, the Company is now preparing to lodge a Request for Arbitration with the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”). The Company will seek full compensation for the loss suffered which may include, but will not be limited to, the value of the Permit, the value of the Company’s historic investments in the Project, the value of the Project at the time the Permit was withdrawn and damages the Company has suffered as a direct result of the Government’s actions. The Project hosted a multi-million-ounce gold resource which was the subject of a substantially complete Preliminary Economic Assessment and fast-tracked development study at the time of the Government’s illegal actions.
The Company has engaged Boies Schiller Flexner (UK) LLP (“BSF”), a leading international law firm, to assist with legal matters pertaining to the dispute (refer news release 17 October 2023). BSF is an internationally recognised dispute resolution law firm with extensive experience representing investors in international investment arbitrations in the mining and natural resources sectors worldwide.
Background to Claim
On 31 August 2023, the Company received notification from the Minister of Energy, Mines and Quarries of Burkina Faso (the “Minister”) that the Company’s application for the Permit, received in August 2021 and granted to Sarama in November 2021 had been purportedly “rejected”, even though the previous Minister had approved the Permit in accordance with the applicable laws nearly two years prior.
On 6 September 2023, during his public presentation at the Africa Down Under Mining Conference in Perth, the Minister, Simon-Pierre Boussim, stated that the Permit was available for purchase. Based on the notification from the Minister and his subsequent actions, the Company was forced to interpret the Minister’s letter of 25 August 2023 as withdrawing the Company’s rights to the Permit. The Minister did not respond to subsequent correspondence from the Company on the matter.
The unlawful withdrawal of the Permit by the Minister, resulting in the removal of the rights to the land conferred thereunder, has rendered the Project valueless to Sarama, consequently destroying the value of the Company’s investment in the Project.
Sarama’s President, CEO & MD, Andrew Dinning, commented:
“The establishment of a non-recourse funding facility to cover all expenses related to the Company’s arbitration case represents a major step forward in its pursuit of redress for the substantial damages suffered as a result of the Government of Burkina Faso’s illegal actions.
Sarama’s legal representatives, Boies Schiller Flexner, are highly experienced and have a very successful track record in international investment disputes, including an arbitration claim brought by Indiana Resources (ASX:IDA) against Tanzania which saw the company recently receive the first tranche of a US$90M settlement.
The Company will now proceed with filing a Request for Arbitration and intends to prosecute its case to the fullest extent possible.”
