Sarama Resources - Key Milestone in Cosmo Gold Project Acquisition

Cosmo Gold Shareholders Vote in Favour of Transaction

Sarama Resources Ltd. (“Sarama” or the “Company”) (ASX:SRR, TSX- V:SWA) is pleased to advise that the shareholders of Cosmo Gold Ltd (“Cosmo”) have voted in favour of Sarama’s acquisition of a majority interest(1) in the Cosmo Gold Project (the “Project”) in Western Australia. This shareholder approval was a key outstanding condition to be satisfied for the Transaction (defined below) to be completed.


The acquisition now has approval from the shareholders of both Sarama and Cosmo and Sarama has received requisite approval and conditional approval from securities exchanges in Australia and Canada respectively. It is anticipated the Transaction will be completed in mid-November 2024.

The 580km² Cosmo Gold Project(2) covers the entirety of the Cosmo-Newbery Greenstone Belt and is located approximately 85km north-east of Laverton in a region known for its prolific gold endowment (refer Figure 1). As one of the last effectively unexplored greenstone belts in Western Australia, the Project presents a unique and compelling opportunity for the Company.

Highlights

  • Sarama acquiring a majority interest in, and control of, Cosmo Gold Project in Western Australia
  • Sarama acquiring an initial 80% interest(1) with ability to increase to 100% in the majority of the Project(1)
  • 580km² landholding capturing +50km strike length in highly prospective gold producing region; 95km from both the world-class Gruyere Mine and Laverton gold district
  • Project captures one of the last effectively unexplored greenstone belts in Western Australia; virtually no effective exploration undertaken for several decades
  • Project is very well located being only a 4 hour drive from Kalgoorlie on predominantly paved roads
  • All shareholders approvals for the Transaction secured
  • Key conditions precedent satisfied and completion of transaction anticipated in mid-November 2024
  • Meetings with Traditional Owners confirm support for Sarama’s involvement and its planned endeavours
  • Soil geochemistry program underway to generate regional targets in unexplored areas

Sarama’s Executive Chairman, Andrew Dinning commented:

“We are pleased to have passed this major milestone and look forward to finalizing the acquisition of a majority interest in the Cosmo Gold Project in the coming weeks. Together with Cosmo, we have commenced our first soil geochemistry program which will continue over the next 6-8 weeks and feed into larger targeting efforts and work up of drill targets for the 2025 exploration season.”

Cosmo Newbery Project

The Project is comprised of 7 contiguous exploration tenements covering approximately 580km² in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 85km north-east of Laverton and 95km west of the world-class Gruyere Gold Mine. The Project is readily accessible via the Great Central Road which services the Cosmo Newbery Community.

The Project captures one of the last unexplored greenstone belts in Western Australia and with a strike length of +50km, the Cosmo Newbery Belt represents a large and prospective system with gold first being discovered in the area in the 1890’s. Multiple historical gold workings are documented within the Project area and work undertaken to date, has identified multiple exploration targets for follow up.

Despite this significant prospectivity, the Project has seen virtually no modern exploration or drilling of merit due to a lack of land access persisting over a significant period. As a result, the Project has not benefited from the evolution of geochemical and geophysical techniques which now facilitate effective exploration in deeply weathered and complex regolith settings which is particularly pertinent given approximately 75% of the Project area is under cover.

Following the relatively recent securing of land access, the Project is now available for systematic and modern-day exploration programs to be conducted on a broad-scale. It is anticipated that future exploration programs will initially follow-up preliminary targets generated from regional soil sampling and limited reconnaissance drilling programs, a majority of which extended to approximately 5m below surface with a small percentage extending up to 30m below surface.

Gold Rush 2.0: Why California is Poised for a Mining Renaissance

With modern technology, a rising gold price and renewed government support for domestic mineral production, mining companies and investors are taking a second look at historic districts and brownfield projects once considered uneconomic — and California’s long-overlooked gold deposits are squarely back in focus.

The California Gold Rush of 1848 wasn’t just a pivotal moment in American history — it was one of the most profitable mineral booms ever recorded. Sparked by a discovery at Sutter’s Mill, the gold rush drew over 300,000 people and produced more than 25 million ounces of gold, much of it from the now-famous Mother Lode Belt.

At the peak of the gold rush, California was producing nearly 1 million ounces per year, including an estimated 1.4 million ounces from the Mariposa District alone. However, the low price of gold at the time and limitations with mining methods during the 19th and early 20th century, have left much of the gold-bearing rock unmined.

Newmont Uses Drones, Remote Equipment to Reach Trapped Miners in Red Chris Mine

Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) has deployed drones and a remote-controlled scoop to help rescue three workers trapped underground since Tuesday (July 22) at its Red Chris gold mine in BC.

The incident occurred during work on a non-producing section of the mine’s underground development project.

According to the company, the three contract employees were initially located more than 500 meters beyond the site of the first collapse. They were directed to relocate to a designated refuge chamber before a second fall of ground sealed off the access way and disrupted communication.
