Emgold Moves to Acquire 100% Interest in the Casa South Property, QC

13.06.2019  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, June 13, 2019 - Emgold Mining Corp. (TSXV: EMR) ("Emgold" or the "Company") announces it has completed an amendment (the "Amendment") to the definitive option agreement (the "Option Agreement") between Emgold and Greg Exploration Inc, and Affiliates (collectively referred to as the "Vendors") and has exercised its option, granted by the Amendment, to acquire a 100% interest in the Casa South Property, QC (the "Property").

The Property comprises 180 active mining titles covering a total of 10,061 hectares (100 square kilometers). It is located immediately south of Hecla Mining Corporation's ("Hecla") (NYSE:HL) Casa Berardi Mine which has produced over 2.0 million recovered gold ounces since commencing production in 1988. Gold production at the Mine in 2018, reported in a February 21, 2018 news release by Hecla, was 162,744 ounces. Note that the presence of Mineral Resources Ltd. and reserves found on the Casa Berardi Mine Property does not guarantee discovery or delineation of mineral resources and reserves on the Casa South Property.

Under the terms of the original Option Agreement, Emgold had the option to complete C$375,000 in payments (C$75,000 paid to date) over four years and complete C$1.6 million in exploration expenditures to acquire a 91% interest in the Property (see March 19, 2019 press release). Under the terms of the Amendment, in lieu of the remaining payments and work commitments above and in order to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Property, Emgold shall have the option of issuing to Vendors an amount of 4,000,000 units from its share capital (the "Compensation Units"), each Compensation Unit being comprised of one common share (each a "Compensation Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each a "Compensation Warrant"), each whole Compensation Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one (1) common share in the share capital of Emgold (each a "Compensation Warrant Share") at a price of $0.25 per Compensation Warrant Share for a period of twenty four (24) months from the date of issuance.

Compensation Shares and Compensation Warrant Shares issued as a result of the Amendment will be subject to a four month statutory hold period. The Compensation Shares and Compensation Warrant Shares issued as part of the Amendment shall be subject to a Right of First Refusal ("ROFR") provisions and limitation of monthly sales by the Vendors (the "Offered Shares") in any given calendar month, subject to a 10 business day Notice Period (the "Notice Period"). During the Notice Period, Emgold shall have the right to identify one or several acquirers to purchase the Offered Shares, to which the Vendors shall sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at equal or superior terms, based on the prior 10 day volume weighted average price of Emgold's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.

A one and a half percent (1.5%) Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") will be granted to the Vendors on the Property, being agreed that half a percent (0.5%) of said NSR can be repurchased by Emgold for an amount of C$500,000.

Emgold has elected to exercise this option and acquire a 100% interest in Casa South. The Amendment and acquisition the Property are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
