TSXV: NEV

VANCOUVER, Jan. 4, 2018 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that it has executed an amended non-binding letter of intent dated December 27, 2017 (the "Amended LOI") with Emgold Mining Corporation (TSXV: EMR, "Emgold"). The Amended LOI replaces a prior non-binding letter of intent dated July 17, 2017 with Emgold (the "Original LOI") and provides for the acquisition by Emgold of an immediate 51% interest in the Golden Arrow gold-silver property in Nevada (the "Golden Arrow", or the "Property") with a first option to acquire an additional 29% interest, followed by a second option to acquire the final 20% interest in Golden Arrow by making the exploration expenditures and cash payments as outlined below. 

About Golden Arrow

Golden Arrow is located approximately 40 miles east of Tonopah in Nye County, Nevada. The Property consists of 357 unpatented and 17 patented lode mineral claims covering an area of approximately 7,030 acres (2,845 hectares). It is an advanced-stage exploration property with a comprehensive exploration database including geochemical sampling, geophysics, and over 200,000 feet of reverse circulation and diamond core drilling. Emgold is in the process of completing an updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the property. 

To date, two main exploration targets have been drilled on Golden Arrow focusing on bulk disseminated mineralization – the Gold Coin and Hidden Hill deposits. Numerous other targets have been identified for exploration. Emgold's management believes there is potential to expand both the Hidden Hill and Gold Coin resources and for discovery of other bulk disseminated mineralization at Golden Arrow. In addition, historic underground mine workings lie along the Page Fault and other structures on the Property indicating potential for vein-style mineralization that has been subject to limited modern exploration, if any, to evaluate its potential. 

Golden Arrow Sale and Option Terms

The terms of the Amended LOI provide that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, the entry into a definitive sale and option agreement with Nevada Sunrise and Emgold completing a financing in an amount necessary to pay (i) related fees and expenses of the Transaction; (ii) the remaining third property payment of $215,000; (iii) general corporate overhead for 6 months; and (iv) the first 12 months of minimum exploration expenditures on the property in the amount of $250,000, Emgold (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emgold) would acquire a 51% interest in Golden Arrow by (i) making cash payments to Nevada Sunrise in the aggregate amount of $282,000; and (ii) issuing to Nevada Sunrise 2,500,000 common shares in the capital of Emgold, as shown in Table 1 below (all cash amounts in this news release are stated in Canadian dollars):

The Amended LOI further provides that Nevada Sunrise would grant to Emgold (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emgold) the sole and exclusive right and option (the "First Option") to acquire an undivided additional 29% (for a total of 80%) interest in the Property, which would be exercisable by Emgold for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date (the "Option Period") by Emgold (i) incurring exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of $2,750,000; and (ii) issuing to Nevada Sunrise an additional 2,500,000 common shares in the capital of Emgold, as shown in Table 2 below:

Upon Emgold completing the First Option, the Parties would be deemed to have formed a Nevada joint venture (the "Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture would be established as a separate company or using an existing subsidiary of Emgold or Nevada Sunrise, with 80% of the shares owned by Emgold and 20% of the shares owned by Nevada Sunrise.

After the completion of the exercise of the First Option, and within 12 months of a formal production decision for the Property or at any time prior to that date, and provided that Emgold has at least a 75% interest in the Joint Venture, Emgold would have the further option (the "Second Option") of purchasing Nevada Sunrise's interest in the Joint Venture based on Nevada Sunrise's percentage interest (rounded to the nearest whole number) in the Joint Venture at the time the Second Option is exercised, as outlined in Table 3 below:

Nevada Sunrise would not be required to contribute to the Joint Venture until Emgold completes or terminates the First Option. Thereafter, the parties would be required to contribute to the Joint Venture based on their ownership percentages of the Joint Venture, or their interests therein would be diluted in proportion to their contributions to the Joint Venture. If a diluted party's interest falls below 10% at any time, the other party would have the option of purchasing the diluted party's interest in the Joint Venture for $1.0 million.
