Laval, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - February 3, 2021) - UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UGM) ("UrbanGold" or the "Company") announces that it has signed an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Crest Resources Inc. (CSE: CRES) ("Crest"), pursuant to which and subject to the acceptance of the Canadian Stock Exchange, Crest has been granted an option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% interest in the Stargold project (the "Claims") located approximately 160 kilometres northeast of the Town of Val d'Or, in the Province of Quebec.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Crest shall have the right until the third anniversary of the Agreement to acquire 100% of UrbanGold's interest in the Claims (the "Acquisition") by:
(a) making a total cash payment of $25,000 to UrbanGold on the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement); and
(b) issuing common shares in the capital stock of Crest (the "Option Shares") as follows:
(i) 400,000 Option Shares to UrbanGold on the Closing Date;

A portion of the Claims are subject to a 1% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty ("Existing Royalty"). Upon completion of the Option, UrbanGold will transfer a 100% stake in the Claims to Crest. At that time, Crest will grant a royalty to UrbanGold equal to 1% of the NSR on the Claims that are not subject to the Existing Royalty.
