SALE OF ALASKAN PORTFOLIO: RIVERSGOLD AMENDS AGREEMENT TO US$1.5M CASH SALE AND ROYALTY

Riversgold Limited ( ASX:RGL , “Riversgold” or the “Company” ) is pleased to advise that it has agreed new, more favourable terms with respect to its non-core Alaskan assets.

Following discussions with Mamba Minerals LLC ( Mamba Minerals ), the Company has agreed to divest 100% of its Alaskan portfolio by way of a cash transaction with a retained royalty and milestone payments, replacing the earn-in arrangement announced on 25 May 2020. Riversgold has now entered into a share sale deed with Mamba Minerals, Clutch Group Pty Ltd, Afranex Gold Pty Ltd and Afranex (Alaska) Limited providing for the sale of Afranex (Alaska) Limited to Mamba Minerals ( Share Sale Deed ).

Following the negotiation, Mamba Minerals has raised the capital needed to complete the transaction. The first US$60,000 payment was received at execution of the deed on 12 April 2021.

Executive Director, Xavier Braud, commented :

“This transaction is a great outcome for Riversgold. We managed to monetise non-core assets whilst retaining an exposure to any discovery in Alaska via a gross royalty and milestone payments for resources discovered.

The revised terms delivers Riversgold more funds over the next two quarters. This cash injection will be used to fund the current exploration activities at the Kurnalpi Project.

We are currently drilling diamond core under Lake Yindarlgooda. We are in the final preparation stages of another 3D seismic survey and we are just about to kick off an ambitious surface geochemistry program combined with a full scale use of DetectOre[TM] in-field low level gold analysis technique following up on our 2020 soil results.

The funds received from the sale of Alaska will be put to good use exploring our 1,200km[2] of greenstone belt outside Kalgoorlie and we are looking forward to updating the market on progress made.”

Key terms of the Share Sale Deed are as follows:

  1. Total cash consideration payable by Mamba Minerals for Afranex (Alaska) Limited is US$1.5m, payable in the following instalments:

    • a. US$290,000, already paid under the terms of the Earn-in and Joint Venture Deed;

    • b. US$60,000 due by 14 April 2021, paid on 12 April 2021;

    • c. US$150,000 due by 21 April 2021;
