April 17 2024 - 4:00PM
Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a share purchase
agreement (the “Agreement”) for the sale of its interest in the TV
Tower copper gold project (“TV Tower” or the “Project”), located in
Biga Province, northwest Türkiye, to a foreign mining company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Liberty
Gold has agreed to sell its 72.1% interest in the company that
holds the Project for gross proceeds to the Company of US$8.3
million in cash, to be paid in three stages over a two-year period
(the “Transaction”).
Cal Everett, CEO and Director of Liberty
Gold commented, “The sale of TV Tower strengthens Liberty
Gold’s treasury position without diluting shareholder’s exposure to
our flagship Black Pine project in Southern Idaho while also
removing annual carrying costs related to the project. Liberty Gold
will now be 100% Great Basin focused advancing two Carlin-style
gold deposits.”
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT:
Closing of the Transaction is subject to
customary conditions including the approval of the local mining
authorities.
Liberty Gold’s share of the US$11.5 million in
gross proceeds (US$8.3 million) will be paid in three stages as
follows:
-
US$3.6 million on the closing date.
-
US$2.2 million on the first anniversary of the closing date.
-
US$2.5 million on the second anniversary of the closing date.

Cautionary Note for United States
Investors The information in this news release, including any
information incorporated by reference, and disclosure documents of
Liberty Gold that are filed with Canadian securities regulatory
authorities concerning mineral properties have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in
Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States
securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, these
documents use the terms “measured resources”, “indicated
resources”, “inferred resources” and “probable mineral reserves”.
Shareholders in the United States are advised that, while such
terms are defined in and required by Canadian securities laws, the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) does
not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization
may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has
been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally
produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is
made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all
or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be
converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great
amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they
can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all
or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a
higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of
inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility,
pre-feasibility or other technical reports or studies, except in
rare cases. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned
not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist,
or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of
contained ounces is permitted disclosure under Canadian
regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to
report resources as in place tonnage and grade without reference to
unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of
mineralization and resources contained in these documents may not
be comparable to information made public by United States companies
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the
SEC.
