Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – October 18, 2023 – Canada One Mining Corp. (“Canada One” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CONE) (OTC:COMCF) (FSE:AU31) is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Transaction”), dated October 16th, 2023 with Global Genx Resources Ltd. (the “Vendor”) an arm’s length private company, pursuant to which the Company will be granted the right to earn up to a 100% interest in the Abitibi East Critical Minerals and Nellie Properties (each a “Property” and collectively, the “Properties”) located 60 kilometres northeast of the Timmins Mining Camp, Ontario.

The Properties are located on the western end of the world-class Abitibi greenstone belt, central to the Timmins Mining Camp (119 Moz Au and 337 Moz Ag historical production) (digigeodata.com), the Kidd Creek Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit (2.5 Mt Zn, Cu, Ag Proven and Probable) (miningdataonline.com), and the Alexo-Dundonald nickel deposit (1,254 kt Ni, Cu, Co Indicated) (class1nickel.com).

Mr. Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of Canada One commented: “These properties, central to the Timmins Camp, the Alexo-Dundonald deposit and the Kidd Creek Mine, reaffirm our commitment of exploring critical mineral projects in the premier mining belts of Canada.“

Abitibi East Highlights

Poly-metallic critical mineral property with additional base, precious metal potential (Ni, Cu, Pt, Pd, Au, Zn, Ag, and V)
Centrally located to the Timmins Mining (Au) Camp (60kms), Alexo-Dundonald (Ni-Cu-Co) deposit (20kms), and the Kidd Creek (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag) operating mine (50kms)
Abitibi East covers 8050 Ha on the western end of the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt
No modern exploration since 1997. Past drilling has identified both VMS style and nickel mineralization
Historical sampling and assaying did not sample for gold and other critical elements – modern multi-element techniques are required

Nellie Highlights

The Nellie project is located within the Abitibi greenstone belt east of Timmins within an area mapped as ultramafic rocks anomalous in nickel and copper
The project was explored by Dominion Gulf in 1947 and was drilled by Falconbridge in 1995, testing for copper

Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company will be granted the right to acquire a 51% interest in the Properties in consideration for completing a series of cash and/or share payments totaling $230,000 and $1,500,000 in work expenditures over a two-year term as follows:

Formation of Joint Venture

Upon completion of the 51% Option Payments a Joint Venture shall be deemed formed with Canada One having a 51% legal and beneficial interest in and to the Properties and the Vendor holding the balance. Thereafter, Canada One will have the sole and exclusive right and option (the “100% Option”), to acquire the remaining 49% interest in and to the Properties, free and clear of all encumbrances except for a 2% net smelter returns royalty (the “Royalty”) to be retained by the Vendor, of which one-half may be acquired by Canada One at any time through a one-time cash payment of $1,000,000 to the Vendor.

Good Standing of 100% Option

To maintain the 100% Option in good standing, Canada One must:

(a) pay an additional $500,000 cash (total: $730,000) to the Vendor or issue and deliver to the Vendor such additional number of common shares of the Company as is equal in value to $500,000 (total: $730,000), on or before the date that is three years from the closing;

After the completion of the 100% Option Payments the Properties will be owned 100% by the Company subject to the Royalty and an ongoing annual advance royalty payment of $100,000 per year starting on the fourth anniversary of closing and running until a production decision is announced.

The form of payment of the share or cash payments will be at the discretion of the Company if the closing price of the shares five business days before the applicable payment date is equal to or above $0.25, and the form of payment of the shares or cash payments will be at the discretion of the Vendor if the closing price of the shares five business days before the Anniversary Date is below $0.25. In each case, the applicable deemed issue price will be determined based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date which is five business days prior to each Anniversary Date, subject to a minimum deemed issue price of $0.05 per share. All shares issued to the Vendor will be subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
