NEWS
RELEASE
NEVADA
CANYON EXERCISES AN AMENDED OLINGHOUSE ROYALTY OPTION TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Reno,
Nevada. August 15, 2024, Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (OTC Markets: NGLD) (The “Company” or “Nevada Canyon”)
is pleased to announce through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Canyon, LLC, that it has amended and exercised its Option to Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Target Minerals, Inc (“Target”), a private Nevada company, and acquired one-hundred
percent (100%) interest of Target’s one percent (1%) production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining
District, Washoe County, Nevada.
The
Olinghouse Project is located approximately 30 miles east of Reno, Nevada. The property was operated by Alta Gold in the late 1990’s
and Alta completed a feasibility study in 1997. The Olinghouse Project hosts an historic geologic resource (Alta Gold Feasibility Study
1997) based on over 600 drill holes collared at 100 ft. centers. Nevada Canyon considers this historical estimate to be relevant, however
a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimate as a current estimate of mineral resources, and therefore it
is not treating this historic estimate as current compliant mineral resources. A large portion of the Olinghouse Property remains relatively
unexplored. The historical mineralized resource is open at depth and along strike. The Olinghouse Project has excellent potential to
increase the current gold resources.
The
Olinghouse Project’s current owner is Lake Mountain Mining LLC, (“LMM”), a private Nevada company. LMM is currently
reviewing its financing plans for additional exploration, required permitting, economic studies and various capital expenditures towards
a production restart decision in the near future.
Nevada
Canyon had the exclusive right and Purchase Option (see its news release issued on 12-21-2021), exercisable at any time during the Option
Period at its sole discretion, to acquire one-hundred percent (100%) of a production royalty in the amount of one percent (1%) of the
net smelter returns on all minerals and products produced from certain properties comprising the Olinghouse Project from Target.
The
Purchase Option Agreement was amended to a one-time cash payment of $1,500,000, including previous cash payments of $240,000, for full
consideration of $1,740,000 in cash. The original terms of the Agreement consisted of the following: (i) cash option payments of $240,000
(ii) $2,000,000 which shall be paid by Purchaser to Vendor in either cash, or (iii) 2,000,000 common shares of Nevada Canyon, subject
to certain terms and conditions.
“This
continues our Nevada-based royalty acquisition roll up,” said Nevada Canyon President and CEO, Alan Day, “The amendment and
subsequent exercise of the Olinghouse Royalty Purchase Agreement strengthens our royalty portfolio and adds another royalty with significant
upside, now at a much lower cost basis. Also, as with all Nevada Canyon royalty purchases, it offers excellent leverage to gold prices.
