As previously announced on May 10, 2021 , Cypress and Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp agreed that Cypress would purchase the Permit for US$3.0 million , of which Cypress has already paid US$150,000 . The remaining US$2.85 million will be paid in a combination of cash and Cypress common shares upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and transfer of the Permit to Cypress (the "Closing Payment"). The Closing Payment comprises US$2.0 million in cash and the issuance of Cypress common shares to the value of US$850,000 (the "Share Issuance").

The Agreement is subject to terms and conditions customary for a transaction of this nature, including TSX Venture Exchange approval of the Share Issuance.
