Project Location

The Professor and Waldman Cobalt-Silver Projects are located in the core of the historic Cobalt Mining Camp, approximately 400 km north of Toronto in Ontario, Canada (Figure 1). The associated claim blocks are situated approximately 3 km south and 5 km southeast of the town of Cobalt, respectively, and exhibit similar geology to other past operating and producing mines in the region.

Summary of Acquisition Terms

Golden Deeps Limited has entered into a binding agreement with New Found Gold Corp. (the Vendor) to acquire 100% of the Professor and Waldman Cobalt-Silver Projects in Ontario, Canada. The acquisition is proceeding as per the key terms outlined in an announcement dated 11 December 2017.

To-date, the Company has paid the Vendor a total of CAD240,000 cash and has issued the Vendor 10,000,000 shares in Golden Deeps Limited in order to secure a 70% interest in the projects. The Company can acquire up to a 100% interest in the Projects by making further cash payments and issuing additional shares to the Vendor, as outlined in the Company’s announcement dated 11 December 2017. If the Company does not exercise its option to acquire 100% of the Projects, then the Company and the Vendor will form an unincorporated joint venture for the ongoing exploration and development of the Projects.

Further Exploration Work

The Company has submitted relevant permitting applications for a comprehensive program of fieldwork on the Professor and Waldman claim blocks with the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM). Permitting requirements for accessing historical workings such as the Professor Adit in order to conduct further sampling are also being progressed with the MNDM.

The Company has obtained regional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) survey data for the project areas, which have been reprocessed to modern standards to provide a basis for broad-scale geological and structural interpretation.

Modern geophysical exploration techniques such as detailed induced polarisation (IP), magnetics and gravity have not historically been utilised in the Cobalt District. Nor has systematic structural analysis been applied to the mineralised veins in order to discover non-outcropping “blind” mineralisation. This presents a significant opportunity for an accelerated exploration program to discover further deposits. Golden Deeps has obtained quotations for the completion of both detailed airborne magnetic/EM surveys and for ground IP surveys over the claim blocks and is currently evaluating the implementation of these surveys.
