David Suda, President and CEO, stated, “This financing allows us to double our current drilling program to over 20,000 meters from the original 10,000 meters on the Campbell Shear zone. Securing this funding puts Gold Terra in the desirable position of being able to deliver results to the market well into 2021. The Campbell Shear structure extends over a minimum of 20 kilometres south of the Con Mine and we have only started to drill a small portion of it.”
The gross proceeds from the issue and sale of the FT Shares will be used to extend the drilling program already in progress from 10,000 metres to over 20,000 metres on the Campbell Shear target south of the Con mine at the Company’s Yellowknife City Gold project (the “YCG Project”), which will qualify as “Canadian Exploration Expenses” and “flow-through mining expenditures”, as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2021.
The FT Shares are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering, being July 5, 2021.
About Gold Terra’s Yellowknife City Gold Project
The YCG Project encompasses 800 sq. kms. of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YCG Project is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power and skilled tradespeople.
The Company has started a 10,000 metre drilling program designed to test an underexplored section of the Campbell Shear, over a strike length of nearly 1.2 kilometres. The southern extension of the Campbell Shear is the primary host for gold mineralization at the former Con mine (past production of 5 million ounces on the Campbell Shear alone; see January 25, 2021 news release).
The YCG Project lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that host the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company’s exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company’s objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.
