TORONTO, Oct. 4, 2021 /CNW/ – Bald Eagle Gold Corp. (“Bald Eagle” or the “Company“) (TSXV: BIG) (OTCBQ: BADEF) announces that the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frontera Gold Nevada Inc. (“Frontera“) has entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement“) with Osgood Mountains Gold, LLC (“Osgood“) and Huizenga Exploration Group, LLC (“HEG“) to assign to HEG its 50% joint venture interest with respect to certain unpatented mineral claims and leases in Nevada forming the Hot Springs property (the “Transaction“). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, HEG has agreed to pay the Company USD$1,270,000 in cash. The Transaction is at arms length.
The Transaction represents a “Reviewable Disposition” as defined in Policy 5.3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions of Non-Cash Assets of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“). As such, under the policies of the TSXV, completion of the Transaction is subject to approval by the TSXV.
Completion of the Transaction is subject to, among other things, obtaining necessary approvals and consents including approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Company will obtain shareholder approval by written consent resolution.
Bald Eagle’s management, board of directors and advisors believe the transaction advances the interest of shareholders in several ways:
- The Transaction provides USD$1.27 million of non-dilutive financing to position the Company for exploration and development activities at the recently acquired and 100% owned Hercules silver project (the “Hercules Project“) in Idaho (reference press release dated August 10, 2021).
- The Company recovers all joint venture expenses incurred and payments and advances made to Osgood of USD $1.27 million.
- The Transaction allows the Company to focus on 100% owned and operated properties such as the recently acquired Hercules Project.
- The Company believes the market provides a premium for wholly-owned and operated mineral assets in comparison to non-majority owned and non-wholly operated interests in joint ventures.
Mr. Raymond Harari, President and Director, commented: “The Company has recently attracted outstanding directors and advisors, each of whom has considerable mineral development and capital markets experience. With their input, we have determined that shareholder value will be maximized through operating wholly owned precious metals projects balanced with respect to risk and expected return. Therefore, we recently announced the acquisition of the wholly owned Hercules Project in Idaho. This subsequent sale of our interest in the Hot Springs Joint Venture provides the Company with non-dilutive financing of USD$1,270,000 which can be directed to the wholly owned Hercules Project, in which we have a high level of confidence, as well as further expanding our portfolio of prospective assets.”
