GoldON Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GLD) is pleased to announce it has elected to accelerate the option agreement with Great Bear Resources Ltd. (see news release of May 28, 2019) and has acquired a 100% interest in the original Block A and B portions (see Figure 1) of the West Madsen Gold Project.

In keeping with the terms of the option agreement, GoldON paid Great Bear a total of $175,000 in cash, issued 1,375,000 common shares and incurred exploration expenditures exceeding $2,300,000 to complete the acquisition. Great Bear retains a 2.5% Net Smelter Return royalty on the Property with GoldON having the right to buy back 1% of the Royalty for $500,000 at any time prior to a production decision being made on all or part of the Property.

GoldON now owns a 100% interest in the Project that covers 5,862 hectares in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp (see Red Lake regional map) and is comprised of the Block A and B claim groups; the Flat Lake and Madsen-Medicine Stone claim groups that GoldON acquired a 100% interest in from Bounty Gold (see news release of January 7, 2021); and claims GoldON acquired via staking in December 2020. The expanded Block A adjoins Pure Gold’s Red Lake mine property where they achieved commercial production last month (see Pure Gold’s news release of August 3, 2021).
