Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:

We are pleased to have divested our non-core assets in Bulgaria which allows us to focus 100% on our Nevadan assets - which we are currently drilling. In addition to becoming a shareholder of Raiden, Gold Bull has ongoing exposure to the Bulgarian asset’s upside via performance shares and a net smelter royalty. We wish the Raiden Resources team exploration success and all the best in advancing these Bulgarian assets.

Background

Gold Bull inherited the Bulgarian assets which date back to 2013. With the shift in its focus to Gold Bull's 100% owned projects located in the United States, Gold Bull entered into separate option agreements with Raiden on its Zlatusha and Kalabak projects in July 2019, whereby Raiden could earn up to a 75% interest in each project, subject to certain cash payments and exploration expenditures. With the sale of Zelenrok to Raiden, the Company is able to focus on its core asset, the Sandman gold project located in Nevada.

The consideration/performance shares are subject to significant technical success as follows:

  • 1Moz at or above 2g/t gold (or gold Equivalent, being any of Cu, Ag, Mo, Pb and Zn) for an underground resource, or 1g/t for an open pit scenario and gold Equivalent (being any of Cu, Ag, Mo, Pb and Zn); or
  • 0.5Moz at or above 4g/t gold (or gold Equivalent, being any of Cu, Ag, Mo, Pb and Zn) for an underground resource, or 2g/t for an open pit scenario; or
  • 5Moz at or above 0.5g/t gold (or gold Equivalent, being any of Cu, Ag, Mo, Pb and Zn)

Raiden has the right to purchase the NSR on each of the projects as follows:

  • an initial 0.5% of the total royalty for USD$2,500,000, prior to commencement of commercial production (reducing the royalty from 2.0% to 1.5%)
  • a further 1% of the royalty for USD$5,000,000, prior to commencement of commercial production (reducing the royalty from 1.5% to 0.5%)
