Updating estimates. We have updated our 2022 revenue, EBITDA and EPS estimates to $2.362 billion, $759.2 million, and $3.45 from $2.391 billion, $744.6 million, and $3.40. Our respective second quarter estimates are $588.7 million, $190.8 million, and $0.88. While our 2022 revenue estimate was trimmed about $30 million to reflect modest changes in our production estimates, we anticipate stronger margins than previously forecast. Coal prices have strengthened since the beginning of June, and we have increased our 2023 revenue, EBITDA and EPS estimates to $2.6 billion, $799.4 million, and $3.65, respectively.

A win for coal-producing states. In a win for coal-producing states last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the authority to set limits on carbon emissions from existing power plants. In our view, the outcome limits federal agencies from exercising broad regulatory power beyond what is authorized by Congress and could lead to a longer transition to lower carbon fuels using a more thoughtful and balanced framework….

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Initiating coverage with an Outperform rating. Labrador Gold is advancing its flagship Kingsway gold project in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. The company is nearly midway through a 100,000-meter drilling program targeting high-grade gold mineralization along a 12-kilometer section of the Appleton Fault Zone. The company’s portfolio also includes the Hopedale project that covers much of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt in Labrador, the Borden Lake Extension in Ontario which consists of 219 claims that are 100% owned by Labrador Gold, and the Scotch property which consists of 25 claims encompassing an area of 61 square kilometers near New Brunswick.

Drilling program yielding promising results. Holes have been drilled at the Big Vein, Pristine, Midway, and Golden Glove targets. All four targets have produced impressive assay results. The company recently started drilling a fifth target, CSAMT, and expects to drill a total of ten holes. At Big Vein, near surface high-grade gold intersections include 276.56 grams of gold per tonne over 0.5 meters, 44.08 grams of gold over 4.28 meters, and 128.51 grams of gold over 1.12 meters. Exploration along the Appleton Fault continues to generate new targets….

TORONTO, ON, June 29, 2022 – Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has raised $3,885,285.90 from the recent exercise of share purchase warrants (the “warrants”) with a strike price of $0.175 and $0.30. The warrant exercise increases the Company’s cash position to $26.5 million. Management and directors of Labrador Gold were among those exercising warrants.

“The funds brought in by the exercise of the warrants adds to an already robust treasury and allows us to continue our ongoing exploration of the 12km strike length of the Appleton Fault Zone at our 100% owned Kingsway Project,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO. “The hard work of the LabGold team over the past two years has resulted in the generation and successful drilling of four out of four gold targets. This demonstrates both the ability of our people on the ground as well as the prospectivity of the Kingsway project, and the Appleton Fault Zone in particular. We look forward to another exciting summer of discovery as we prove up more targets in the pipeline and get them ready for drilling.”

Exploration Update

Drilling continues at Kingsway with four drill rigs. Two rigs are working at Big Vein, one testing the down plunge extension of the high-grade HTC Zone below 250m, and the other testing the southwest extension of the Big Vein Zone. A third rig continues to test the Golden Glove target while the fourth rig tests the CSAMT target approximately eight kilometres northeast of Big Vein. The CSAMT target was generated from geophysical (controlled source audio magnetotellurics, magnetics and VLF-EM) and geochemical (gold in soil, rock and till) anomalies and is in an area of structural complexity. Both the Golden Glove and CSAMT targets occur on the east side of the Appleton Fault Zone. Approximately 44% of the 100,000 metre planned program has been completed to date. 

Qualified Person

Roger Moss, PhD., P.Geo., President and CEO of LabGold, a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this release.

The Company gratefully acknowledges the Newfoundland and Labrador Ministry of Natural Resources’ Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for exploration of the Kingsway property.

About Labrador Gold

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.

In early 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 12km of the Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including those of New Found Gold immediately to the south of Kingsway. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water. LabGold is drilling a projected 50,000 metres targeting high-grade epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone following encouraging early results. The Company has approximately $26.5 million in working capital and is well funded to carry out the planned program.  

The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretches over 60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 km along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Company has 168,889,979 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

Element79 Gold Completes Acquisition of High-Grade Peruvian Gold Portfolio

Historic production averaging up to 19 g/t Au Equivalent, Recent
sampling returned up to 116 g/t Au Equivalent, Includes one of the
highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2022 / Element79
Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM)(OTC PINK:ELMGF)(FSE:7YS) (“Element79
Gold”, the “Company“) announces that pursuant to the definitive share purchase agreement dated June 19, 2022 (the “Agreement“), it has closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calipuy Resources Inc. (“Calipuy”) from the shareholders of Calipuy (the “Calipuy Shareholders“). Calipuy, through its subsidiaries, holds 100% interest in two past producing gold-silver mines: the Lucero mine (“Lucero”), one of the highest-grade underground mines in Peru’s history⁽¹⁾ at grades averaging 19.0 g/t Au Equivalent (“Au Eq”) (14.0 g/t gold and 373 g/t silver),^(1,2) as well as the Machacala Project (“Machacala”
and, together with Lucero, the “Properties“) which averaged production grades of 10.5 g/t Au Eq (6.0 g/t gold and 340 g/t silver).
⁽³⁾ Operations were suspended in 2005 at Lucero and 1991 at Machacala due to the persistence of low gold and silver prices at the time. Element79 Gold has previously disclosed the terms of the Agreement (see news release dated June 20, 2022, available on SEDAR).

Highlights of the High-Grade Peruvian Gold Portfolio :

• Recent samples at Lucero returned up to 116.8 g/t Au Eq (78.7g/t Au and 2,856 g/t Ag)⁽⁹⁾; Consistent with historic high grade production of 19.0 g/t Au Eq (14.0 g/t Au and 373 g/t Ag) between 1998 and 2004⁽²⁾; Recent historic prospecting indicates potential for additional bulk-tonnage high-sulphidation gold-silver deposit
• Most recent drilling at Machacala returned up to 15.7 g/t Au Eq (13.55 g/t AU and 164 g/t Ag) over 3.15m in the drill hole Ma-04 on the Fragua vein⁽¹⁰⁾; 230,000 tonnes of historical production averaging 10.5 g/t Au Eq (6.0 g/t Au and 340 g/t Ag) from 1979 to 1991⁽³⁾;

“The closing of the Calipuy transaction delivers high-grade assets, potentially capable of operating in the near-term, to Element79 Gold’s growing portfolio, offering an expedited route toward cash-flow generation through these significant production-stage properties,” commented James Tworek, President and CEO of the Company. “With the on-site team being assembled and planning is underway for both sites, Element79 Gold’s focus is to accelerate the timeline to operations at these properties by expanding on current datasets and exploration at each asset.”

Peru has a mining-friendly legislation that allows up to 350 tpd production while larger scale production permitting is underway. Element79 Gold has previously stated that it intends to pursue the opportunities aggressively (see news releases dated March 10, 2022, March 17, 2022, and June 20, 2022, available on SEDAR).

Lucero Project

Formerly operated as the Shila mine from 1989 to 2005, Lucero consists of 10,805 hectares located in the Shila range of southern Peru, which contains several historic high grade gold-silver mines.⁽¹⁾ Lucero consistently delivered high grades during 16 years of operations, and between 1998 and 2004 reported production averaging approximately 18,800 ounces of gold and 435,000 ounces of silver per year at grades of 19.0 g/t Au Eq (14.0 g/t Au and 373 g/t Ag),
⁽²⁾ with recoveries at the ore processing facility averaging 94.5% for gold and 85.5% for silver.⁽¹⁾

A recent NI 43-101 technical report on Lucero has been prepared for Calipuy by Mining Plus. Samples collected by the technical report’s Qualified Person (the “QP“) returned up to 116.8 g/t Au Eq (78.7g/t Au and 2,856 g/t Ag)⁽⁹⁾. Due to a lack of historical data, the project does not host any resources. However, access to the historic workings is available, and the QP states Lucero is underexplored and has significant exploration potential for extension of known veins, and to discover additional veins.⁽⁹⁾

Lucero is one of many low-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag deposits hosted in tertiary volcanics of the Central Andes Cordillera of southern Peru. The project hosts 74 recognized epithermal veins, 14 of which have been partially exploited. High grade ‘bonanza-style’ direct shipping ore was mined in the past from low-to-intermediate-sulphidation quartz-carbonate massive sulphide veins. Prospecting by previous operator Condor Resources Inc. from 2012 to 2020 identified the high-sulphidation epithermal alteration zone with structures that returned peak sample values of 80.1 g/t Au Eq (33.4 g/t Au and 3,500 g/t Ag)⁽¹¹⁾. This alteration zone, measuring approximately 1,300 metres by 1,400 metres, exhibited no evidence of prior sampling or drilling and is believed to host potential for a bulk tonnage disseminated gold-silver deposit.⁽¹⁾

“Lucero offers a rare opportunity to explore for not only an underground high-grade low sulphidation system but potentially an open pit-able high sulphidation system as well,” stated Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo, Director of Element79 Gold “This project has never experienced modern exploration techniques and I am very confident that significant gold-silver resources are to be found.”

A 0.5% Net Smelter Returns royalty is retained by Sandstorm Gold Ltd., one of the largest gold royalty companies in the world.⁽²⁾

Machacala Project

Machacala consists of over 4,000 hectares located in the District of Carabamba, Province of Julcan, Department of La Libertad. In 2004, Gold Hawk Resources, Inc. (”
Gold Hawk“) estimated a total inferred resource of 420,000 Au Eq ounces hosted within 1,560,000 tonnes, which equates to a gold equivalent grade of 8.4g/t, however individual gold and silver grades were not reported.⁽⁴⁾ This historic estimate is the most recent historic resource estimate relevant to Machacala. In additional Machacala also includes approximately 200,000 tonnes of tailings, which have historically been estimated in 2004 to grade 1.26 g/t gold and 74 g/t silver(6). This historical tailings estimate is historic in nature, and non-43-101 compliant. Historical metallurgical studies by Gold Hawk show 87% recoveries of gold and 50%+ recovery of silver in 24 hours of leaching un-milled tailings, with re-milling able to increase recoveries to 90% of gold and 73% of silver in 24 hours of leaching.(7). A qualified person has not
conducted sufficient work on either the historical Gold Hawk or Tailings
estimates required to categorize these resources to the CIM definition of a
current mineral resources, which may include the preparation of a new NI 43-101
Technical Report. Element79 Gold is not treating these historic estimates as
current mineral resources and a qualified person has not reviewed the work to
define the quality of work associated with this historic estimate.
While these historical estimates are considered to be relevant to
future exploration of the Machacala property they should not be relied upon and
there can be no assurance that any of the historical resources, in whole or in
part, will ever become economically viable.

Machacala was first commercially mined in the 1950s before being acquired and operated by Minera Santa Isabel, S.A. from 1979 to 1991 which mined 230,000 metric tonnes averaging 10.5 g/t Au Eq (6.0 g/t Au and 340 g/t Ag) representing 78,000 Au Eq ounces.
⁽⁴⁾ Operations were suspended in 1991 due to the persistence of a low gold ($360/oz) and silver ($3.81/oz) price. Neighboring concessions include those owned by Fortescue Metals Group (ASX Listed) and by Fresnillo Peru S.A.C., a subsidiary of Fresnillo plc (LSE Listed).^(3,5)

The project was most recently explored by Gold Hawk and Meridian Gold between 1997 and 2004, with a total of 8,500m in 45 core and RC drill holes completed. Highlights of this drilling include 11.6 g/t Au Eq (11.32 g/t Au and 23.6 g/t Ag) over 3.7m in the Casa Fuerza vein, and 15.7 g/t Au Eq over 3.15 m (13.55 g/t Au and 164 g/t Ag) in the Fragua vein¹⁰⁾. Machacala hosts multiple low-sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag veins, of which only four have been only modestly exploited.⁽⁵⁾

A 1.5% Net Smelter Returns royalty is retained by previous owners of the property.

“Machacala possesses significant historical data, as well as 8,500 meters of recent drilling, which we hope will assist in the definition of NI 43-101 compliant resources,” commented Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo, Director of Element79 Gold. “The project is also at a low elevation and has excellent infrastructure which will facilitate returning the project to production.”

Terms of the Acquisition

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Calipuy from the Calipuy Shareholders (the “Acquisition“). As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company paid USD$15 million by the issuance, on a pro rata basis to the Calipuy Shareholders, of (i) an aggregate of 19,165,484 common shares of the Company at deemed issue price of CAD$1.00 per share (the “Consideration Shares“) and (ii) performance bonus warrants to acquire an aggregate of 3,833,085 common shares of the Company (the “PerformanceBonus Warrants“).

Each Performance Bonus Warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$2.00 per share for a period of three years from Exercise Eligibility Date (as defined herein), subject to achievement of the Bonus Performance Target (as defined herein), the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange“) and the terms of warrant certificates to be issued to the Calipuy Shareholders in respect thereof. The Company may accelerate expiry of the Performance Bonus Warrants if the common shares of the Company have a closing price greater than CAD$3.50 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days on the Exchange at any time after the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing“). The holders of the Performance Bonus Warrants will not have the right to exercise the Performance Bonus Warrants until projects carried out on the Properties have cumulatively reached a minimum production target of 9,000 tons of ore yielding a minimum of 1,500 oz Au within a 30-day production period (the ”
Bonus PerformanceTarget“) and the Company provides notice of achievement of the Bonus Performance Target via news release (the “Exercise EligibilityDate“).

All issuances of Consideration Shares were paid in CAD denominated shares at the agreed exchange rate of CAD$1.2777 to USD$1.00. An aggregate of 12,971,503 Consideration Shares and 2,594,298 Performance Bonus Warrants are subject to a lock-up agreement, whereby 50% will be released from lock-up 6 months from Closing and the remaining 50% will be released 12 months from Closing. The balance of the Consideration Shares and Performance Bonus Warrants, other than those held by U.S. persons, are not subject to any resale restrictions under applicable securities laws.

The Acquisition is a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101“). Antonios Maragakis, who is the CEO and a director of Calipuy, is also a director and the COO of the Company. Shane Williams, who was a director of Calipuy immediately prior to the Closing, was recently elected as a director of the Company at its Annual General Meeting on June 22, 2022 (together, the “Related Parties“). Each of the Related Parties have disclosed their interest in the Acquisition to the board of directors of each of the Company and Calipuy, and abstained from voting on approval of the Agreement, the Acquisition and the Closing. Prior to Closing, neither of the Related Parties held any common shares of the Company, and following Closing their beneficial direct and indirect shareholdings increased to 97,688 common shares and 292,509 common shares, respectively. The Acquisition, the Agreement and the Closing were reviewed and considered by the disinterested members of the board of directors of the Company with each of the Related Parties recusing themselves from discussions relating to the same, and the disinterested members of the board unanimously approved entry into the Agreement and completion of the Acquisition on the terms of the Agreement. The Company believes that the Acquisition provides an opportunity to advance the Properties and deliver value to Element79 shareholders. A special committee was not formed for the purpose of reviewing the Acquisition and an independent valuation was not obtained in connection with the Acquisition. On Closing, each of the Related Parties terminated any and all compensation agreements they had with Calipuy and waived any entitlement to severance or change of control payments by Calipuy that would have otherwise been triggered as a result of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company relied on (i) the exemption at paragraph 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 from the valuation requirements since the Company is not listed on any of the markets specified therein; and (ii) the exemption at paragraph 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 from the minority approval requirements as the fair market value of the 97,688 Consideration Shares and 19,537 Performance Bonus Warrants issued to Mr. Maragakis, and the 292,509 Consideration Shares and 58,501 Performance Bonus Warrants issued to a company controlled by Mr. Williams, on Closing is less than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.

All Au Equivalent calculations were performed using $1,650/oz gold, and $22/oz silver in line with the Company’s Maverick Springs 43-101 resource estimate (see news release January 31st, 2022, available on SEDAR).

About Maple Gold

Maple Gold Mines Ltd. is a Canadian advanced exploration company in a 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited to jointly advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects located in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. The projects benefit from exceptional infrastructure access and boast ~400 km² of highly prospective ground including an established gold resource at Douay (SLR 2022) that holds significant expansion potential as well as the past-producing Eagle, Telbel and Eagle West mines at Joutel. In addition, the Company holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Eagle Mine Property.

The district-scale property package also hosts a significant number of regional exploration targets along a 55 km strike length of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that have yet to be tested through drilling, making the project ripe for new gold and polymetallic discoveries. The Company is well capitalized and is currently focused on carrying out exploration and drill programs to grow resources and make new discoveries to establish an exciting new gold district in the heart of the Abitibi.

These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments.

Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently, forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward?looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “forecast”, “potential”, “target”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward?looking statements”.

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: that the parties may not be able to complete the Private Placement as expected or at all, that that the proceeds of the Private Placement may not be spent as stated herein; that the acquisition of the Peruvian properties may not be completed, at all or on the terms announced; risks related to doing business in foreign jurisdictions; the duration and effects of the coronavirus and COVID-19; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; actual results of exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; commodity prices; variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; actual performance of plant, equipment or processes relative to specifications and expectations; accidents; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; changes in applicable legislation or application thereof; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation; environmental risks; reclamation expenses; outcomes of pending litigation; limitations on insurance coverage as well as those factors discussed in the Company’s other public disclosure documents, available on www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward?looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward?looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
