Gold Mountain Provides Clarification on Its July 12th Release

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. ("Gold Mountain" or the “Company”) (TSXV:GMTN)(OTCQB:GMTNF)(FRA:5XFA) would like to provide clarification on the release it put out on July 12, 2021 regarding the update to its M-199 Mining Permit amendment

It has been brought to Gold Mountain's attention that some of the language in the company's most recent press release came across as dismissive and insensitive to Indigenous Nations' laws, governments, land rights, and independent decision-making process. For that, the Company offers its sincere apologies to Elders, Leadership and community members that may have found those comments disrespectful.

While the Provincial review and the corresponding Mine Review Committee process may be coming to a close, Gold Mountain is also aware and acknowledges each respective Indigenous Nation's decision-making process may continue independently from the Province of British Columbia. To date, the Company has made a concerted effort to build strong relationships with communities that are affected by the development of the Elk Gold project and looks forward to continued collaboration with all Indigenous Nations that have interests in the Elk Gold mine.

Gold Mountain recognizes that the past year has been very difficult for many of the surrounding Indigenous Nations, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the Residential School unmarked graves tragedies and the current wildfires occurring throughout the region. Gold Mountain also wishes to communicate its commitment to continued direct engagement and consultation between the Company and each respective Indigenous Nation.

Gold Mountain also wishes to address the importance of the Environmental Assessment Act ("EA") review process, should it wish to pursue expansion of its production profile beyond what is contemplated in its current M-199 Mining Permit amendment application. The EA review has been a key discussion point and the commitment to adhere to the EA process is woven into many of the initial process agreements that are in place, or being drafted, with surrounding Indigenous Nations. The Company also recognizes that similar language could be included as a permit condition and confirms this obligation will be transferable and binding on any future holder of the mines act permits, should the project be transitioned to new ownership.

"British Columbia has a rich history of mining and resource development. Part of that history is an unfortunate legacy of mining companies completing insufficient engagement and consultation with Indigenous Nations. Since inception, the team at Gold Mountain has committed to engaging in inclusive conversations about our plans for the Elk Gold mine. It is an important part of our business to build strong, lasting relationships with all neighboring Indigenous communities and governments," commented Kevin Smith, CEO and Director of Gold Mountain.

“We received comments that our tone in the July 12th permit update came across as dismissive regarding the importance of Indigenous decision-making. This press release is about ensuring we correct our messaging, so it accurately reflects our Company's credo. We are appreciative of the local communities' willingness to review our plans to revitalize the Elk Gold mine and look forward to developing a new legacy where mining companies and Indigenous Nations can enjoy the positive net benefits of British Columbia's resource sector, while still respecting the surrounding communities and lands in which they operate.”

M-199 Mining Permit

The document also details the reclamation and closure plan, short-term and long-term water management plans and the financial assurance conditions, including amounts required to begin operations at the Elk Gold Mine.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Shares 2024 Price Calls for Gold and Copper

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is maintaining its bullish stance on commodities as they continue to enjoy strong cyclical and structural support, and as the US and Europe move closer to cutting interest rates.

The American investment bank said it sees raw materials potentially returning 15 percent in 2024.

“We find that US rate cuts in non-recessionary environments lead to higher commodity prices, with the biggest boost to metals (copper and gold in particular), followed by crude oil,” Bloomberg quotes analysts Samantha Dart and Daan Struyven as saying in a note this past Sunday (March 24). “Importantly, the positive impact on prices tends to increase with time, as the growth impulse from looser financial conditions filters through.”
