Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 27, 2025) - Newpath Resources Inc. (CSE: PATH) (FSE: 0MZ) (OTC Pink: RDYFF) ("Newpath" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Great Eagle Gold Corp. ("Great Eagle") has completed its due diligence on the Company's Northshore Gold Project ("Northshore" or the "Project"). The Company has entered into an LOI with Great Eagle and intends to proceed towards a definitive agreement ("Transaction Agreement").
Great Eagle intends to acquire the project to tokenize the gold resource, providing a means to integrate the underlying value of the gold with NatGold Digital Ltd.'s digital asset platform.
Alexander McAulay, CEO of Newpath, commented: "This is an incredible opportunity to transition this project into the digital asset ecosystem. It breathes new life into the property while allowing Newpath to address its convertible debt over the next 12 months. Newpath now moves forward to focus efforts on evaluating lithium and other mineralization potential with our Alpha/Bravo project."
Key Terms of the Agreement:
Option Structure: Great Eagle has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the patented claims of the Northshore Gold Property from Newpath. The transaction can be completed at any time within the first year of the agreement.
Consideration: The total purchase price is set at CDN$1,000,000, payable as follows:
$10,000 was paid within two business days of the execution of the LOI for due diligence costs.
$90,000 to be paid upon execution of the definitive Transaction Agreement.
The remaining $900,000 is payable on or before the first anniversary of the Transaction Agreement.
Purchase Price Adjustment: The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment based on changes in the price of gold between the date of the LOI and the final payment date. If the price of gold increases, the Purchase Price will increase proportionally. No downward adjustment will be made if the price of gold decreases.
The Northshore Gold Project's patented claims cover approximately 210 hectares in Priske Township, approximately 4 km south of the town of Schreiber, Ontario, on the northern shore of Lake Superior.
Proceeds Allocation
The Company intends to use proceeds from the sale to negotiate the repayment of the principal balance of its convertible debentures. A default on the debt could be triggered at any time as the conditions of default for the convertible have been met. This strategic allocation of funds will help strengthen Newpath's financial position and support its ongoing operations. The Company will initiate discussions with debt holders in the coming weeks, starting with formal outreach and proposals to renegotiate terms by mid-February.
Net Smelter Return (NSR) Royalty: In the event Great Eagle modifies its plans for the project, a 1.5% NSR royalty on the patented Claims will be granted to Newpath.
