CHIMATA GOLD CORP ENTERS INTO AMENDED OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE TROILUS NORTH PROPERTY IN QUEBEC
Vancouver, BC August 13, 2018 – Chimata Gold Corp. (CSE: CAT) (“Chimata” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into an Amendment to the Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) previously entered into with Emgold Mining Corporation (“Emgold”) on June 27, 2018 as announced in a press release on the same day, granting Emgold the option to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Troilus North Property (the ”Property”) from the Company (the “Amending Agreement”)
In return for CDN$200,000 to be paid by Emgold in cash to the Company – and the issuance of a total of six million (6,000,000) common shares of Emgold common stock (the “Emgold Shares”) to the Company, two million (2,000,000) of such Emgold Shares having already been issued to the Company as of this date. Chimata will reduce the original exploration expenditure requirements under the Option Agreement for the Property from CDN$750,000 to CDN$300,000. With exploration work expected to be completed on the Property in 2018, Emgold expects to satisfy 100% of such exploration requirements under the Amending Agreement, allowing Emgold to subsequently move forward with the acquisition of the Property by making the remaining share payments outlined in the Amending Agreement at the timing of Emgold’s choice, ensuring such issuance do not create, at any given time, a new control person under TSX Venture Exchange rules.
