(TSXV: WINS) ("Winshear"). The AR payment was due pursuant to a property purchase agreement signed and approved on September 19, 2019 which outlines annual AR anniversary payments and a 2% NSR royalty per project subject to terms of the purchase agreement. In September of 2024 a US$100,000 payment is due from Winshear to Palamina to maintain Winshear's Gaban and Ica claims.
Palamina currently holds 13,422,000 common shares and 1,321,000 warrants in Winshear representing an 18.5% partially diluted share position. Winshear is advancing the Gaban Gold Project to the drill discovery phase in south eastern Peru where a drill program is planned post a settlement or judgement in their arbitration case against the government of Tanzania. In February of 2023 Winshear concluded arbitration proceedings against the Tanzanian Government to recover US$95.5 million (CAD$124.8 million) in damages for the expropriation of its SMP Gold Deposit in Tanzania. A judgement from the arbitration proceedings is expected to be rendered in 2023. Winshear has secured up to US$3.3 million (CAD$4.3 million) in arbitration funding from a third party in return for a time and amount dependent share of any recovered award.
