TORONTO, April 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Angus Gold Inc. (TSX-V: GUS | OTC: ANGVF) ("Angus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in key mineral claims (the "Acquisition Claims") that are contiguous and adjacent to the Golden Sky Project located near Wawa, Ontario. The Golden Sky project, situated between Wesdome Gold Mines' Eagle River and past-producing Mishi Pit mines, is the site of significant new gold discoveries in the banded iron formation horizon ("BIF") and also hosts an historic gold resource in the Dorset Zone. The consolidated Golden Sky land package now stands at 267 square kilometres.  

Steve Burleton, Chief Executive Officer of Angus, states: "We are extremely pleased with the success Angus has achieved in not only building a district scale project in one of Ontario's most active mining areas, but also making new gold discoveries within its consolidated land package. This success has justified an expansion of our exploration plans and we are implementing more geophysical and geochemical programs to support our growing 2022 drill programs. The claims we have just acquired are key claims along the Mishi gold trend and will be included in this year's regional exploration."

Angus acquired the acquisition claims on an arm's length basis in consideration for a one-time cash payment of $8,000, the issuance of 40,000 common shares of the Company, and the grant of a 1.25% net smelter return royalty, 60.0% of which can be purchased by Angus for $750,000.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The common shares are subject to a statutory four-month hold period.
