NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nubian Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: NBR | OTCQB: NBRFF) (“Nubian” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company is moving forward with the next phase of exploration work including a comprehensive air-core drilling program at its Fosterville East Gold project in Victoria, Australia (“Fosterville East” or the “Project”). Fosterville East covers an area of 82 km2 and lies approximately 12 km east of the Fosterville Gold Mine that is owned and operated by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Due to the Project’s thick unconsolidated cover, geophysical surveys have been employed to define deeper geological structures and drilling targets below the cover. The Project covers a large suite of sedimentary rocks potentially folded and faulted within the Bendigo Zone that host the Bendigo Gold Deposits (historical production of 22 million ounces gold; e.g., Li et al., 19981)) and Agnico Eagle’s Fosterville Mine. Nubian plans on commencing a systematic program of low cost air-core drilling which has proven to be an effective tool to penetrate through overburden that varies up to 15 metres (50 feet) to test for gold and arsenic leader (vein-style) mineralization within the rocks below.
Martin Walter, Nubian’s CEO, stated, “Recently announced discoveries by Southern Cross Gold and Great Pacific Gold have highlighted Victoria’s abundant gold tenure and potential. Nubian has operated in Victoria since 2020 when it acquired its two main projects - Fosterville East and the Yandoit Gold projects. Due to poor mining markets and low interest levels in the exploration for precious metals, Nubian slowed its exploration efforts in Victoria in mid-2022. With the recent rise in the gold and silver prices, we are pleased to have made the decision to re-start exploration efforts in Victoria.”
Non-Brokered Private Placement
Nubian also announced that it will undertake a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $600,000 through the issuance of up to 10,000,000 units (the “Private Placement”), each Unit being priced at $0.06 and comprising one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable at $0.08 for a period of 24 months post the closing date. In connection with the private placement, the Company may pay finder’s fees of 7% cash and 7% compensation warrants in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be utilized to undertake exploration activities at Fosterville East and for general working capital purposes.
