Sassy Resources Acquires Equity Stake in Newfoundland Exploration Company Galloper Gold Corporation

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2022 / Sassy Resources Corporation ("Sassy" or the "Company") (CSE:SASY)(FSE:4E7)(OTCQB:SSYRF) is pleased to provide the following corporate update:

Highlights:

  • Through a series of transactions, Sassy has completed the purchase of 5,273 mining claims (1,318 sq. km) in Newfoundland for 4,260,000 shares of the Company and $500,000 cash. Sassy then sold these claims through a subsidiary to privately-held Galloper Gold Corp. ("Galloper Gold") for 8 million shares of Galloper Gold and $700,000 cash;
  • The deal with Galloper Gold (applying to list on a Canadian stock exchange) is the culmination of a process that started in early 2021 that gave Sassy and its investors a strategic stake in the Newfoundland Gold Rush with major share positions in Gander Gold (35.3 million shares) and now Galloper Gold, with Sassy also having optioned its Nicobat Property to CSE-listed MAX Power Mining in exchange for 5 million shares of MAX Power;
  • Sassy's primary focus going forward is its 100%-owned Foremore Project in Northwest B.C.'s prolific Eskay Camp. The Company is commencing a new drill program next month to follow up on the early-stage Westmore high-grade gold discovery and the potential for a gold-silver-rich VMS-style discovery along the adjacent More Creek Corridor, 45 km north of the Eskay Creek mine.

Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: "Sassy has made great strides since early last year at creating a foundation for long-term financial success with strategic ownership positions in three exciting entities, each with a bright future in our view. We're now laser focused on our #1 priority of building out the high-grade gold discovery that successfully launched Sassy as a public company nearly two years ago. We've been diligent at protecting our share structure to give us maximum flexibility to build shareholder value in multiple ways."

Mark Scott continued, "We will soon be unveiling a new web site for Sassy as we rebrand around the Eskay Camp and a value proposition that's more compelling than ever for this young Company. We're looking forward to an exciting summer at the Foremore Project where the last five drill holes at Westmore each intersected shallow, high-grade mineralization (refer to March 3, 2022 news release).

Properties

In purchasing Rocky Island Gold, Galloper Gold acquired 100% ownership of 5,273 mining claims including the Glover Island claims and the Triple Point Project in southwest Newfoundland, and Mint Pond (previously known as Gander East) on the eastern flank of the Gander Gold Belt.

This acquisition by Galloper Gold, combined with its claims including Wolf Mountain acquired from prospector Shawn Ryan late last year, makes Galloper one of the largest landowners in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (see attached map) with over 2,000 sq. km. All properties are prospective for gold and have undergone only limited historic exploration. Galloper will make public additional details on the properties as it progresses its intent to list on a Canadian exchange this year.

Transaction Details

The deal for 8 million shares of Galloper Gold and $700,000 for 5,273 mining claims involved a series of transactions in which Sassy first acquired private company Rocky Island Gold Corp. ("Rocky Island Gold") and its Golden Lynx Project in Newfoundland for the sum of $250,000 cash and 1,260,000 Sassy shares. Rocky Island Gold, as a subsidiary of Sassy, then acquired three properties from Vulcan Minerals ("Vulcan"), one of which was contiguous to the Golden Lynx Property. Sassy paid Vulcan $250,000 cash and 3 million Sassy shares to acquire 100% ownership of these three properties. In total, the combined Rocky Island and Vulcan properties acquired by Sassy comprise 5,273 mining claims along very favorable structure in Newfoundland.

Sassy subsequently entered into a share purchase agreement with Galloper Gold dated May 23, 2022 (the "Agreement"), whereby Galloper Gold agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Rocky Island Gold. As consideration for the transaction, Sassy has received 8,000,000 common shares in the capital of Galloper Gold, in addition to a cash payment of $700,000. The 5,273 claims include a large land package on Glover Island in southwest Newfoundland contiguous to an historic gold resource.

Galloper Gold is well-financed and has been carrying out exploration across its portfolio of properties since late last year and has plans to apply for public listing on a Canadian Exchange this year.

Related Party Matters

As Galloper is a non-arm's length party to the Company due to an overlapping executive, the Transaction is considered a "related party transaction" under MI 61-101 - "Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions" ("MI 61-101"). The Company will rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, in respect of the Transaction, pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and Section 5.7(a) (Fair Market Value Not More Than 25% of Market Capitalization) of MI 61-101. The Transaction was agreed with reasonable commercial terms between the Company and Galloper as if it were on an arm's length basis.
