Full Summary

Advance Metals Ltd has reached an agreement to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the high-grade Myrtleford and Beaufort Gold Projects, achieving 100% ownership. The total consideration for 100% ownership is C$4.0M, payable over three years in tranches, either in shares or cash. The acquisition follows successful exploration programs at the Myrtleford Project, which have intersected numerous high-grade gold results. Initial testwork at Happy Valley has returned excellent gold recoveries of up to 96%, supporting potential low-cost gravity processing options. Further drilling at Happy Valley has also returned high-grade gold intersections, including 1 metre at 22.3g/t Au. Regional exploration across the Myrtleford Project area has identified multiple gold targets, including the 16km Magpie-Barwidgee trend, which remains untested by modern drilling.

Outlook

Advance Metals Ltd is optimistic about the potential of the Myrtleford and Beaufort Gold Projects, with ongoing exploration and structural modelling to further validate the projects' potential.
