Jeremy Wyeth, President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased to have closed the financing which funds our exploration and development activities for 2021. We are in the final planning stages of our 2021 drilling program across our 330-square-kilometre land package, and will provide an update on our plans in the coming days. On the project development side, we have recently tendered for the primary contractor to lead the Goliath Gold Complex pre-feasibility study work and anticipate making a decision in the near future. We look forward to a busy 2021 and making significant progress on what we believe is one of Ontario's next gold mines."

"The acquisition of our convertible debt by Sprott Resource Lending provides us with further financial flexibility, including an extended maturity date for the loan and additional flexibility in respect of interest payments more appropriate to a company of our stage. We welcome Sprott Resource Lending as both a lender and equity investor as we move forward with the development of the Goliath Gold Complex," added Mr. Wyeth.

The Offering was led by Haywood Securities Inc., and Cormark Securities Inc., as joint bookrunners, and together with Sprott Capital Partners LP, as co-lead underwriters and agents, in each case on behalf of themselves and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters and agents including PI Financial Corp., iA Private Wealth Inc., and Paradigm Capital Inc.
