Newrange Signs Agreement to Acquire Past-Producing, High-Grade Argosy Gold Mine in the Red Lake Mining Division

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Definitive Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in the past-producing, high-grade Argosy Gold Mine in the Red Lake Mining Division of northwestern Ontario

 

  The Argosy Gold Mine is the most significant past-producer in the Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt and produced 101,875 ounces of gold and 9,788 ounces of silver at a gold grade of 0.37 oz/t (12.7 g/t) (Ontario Ministry of Northern Development & Mines archives).  It closed in 1952 due to high operating costs and a $35/oz gold price.  Production came from only four veins, although 12 are now known, and only to a depth of 900 feet (270 meters).  The property consists of 43 patented claims and 17 Mining Licences of Occupation comprising 604 hectares.  

 

  "The acquisition of a past-producing, high-grade mine in an area of active exploration presents a unique opportunity to increase shareholder value," stated Robert Archer, Newrange CEO.  "The Argosy Mine has seen minimal exploration below the old mine workings and there is excellent potential to extend the mineralization to depth and to discover new veins elsewhere on the property.  The Argosy Mine is approximately 10 kilometers northwest of the Springpole Deposit being advanced by First Mining Gold Corp. and less than a kilometer from our North Birch Project.  We look forward to commencing the first exploration on the property since 2004."  

 

  The Agreement will entail the purchase of Cangold Limited, the owner of the mine and a fully owned subsidiary of Great Panther Mining Limited.  Terms of the acquisition call for Newrange to make a cash payment of CA$100,000 and issue CA$650,000 in Newrange shares to Great Panther on closing and a further CA$250,000 in shares on the first anniversary of closing.  The Closing Date is expected to occur within 90 days.  As there are already underlying Net Smelter Return royalties totaling 2.5%, Great Panther will not retain an additional royalty.   The Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.
