("Realgold" or the "Company") (TSXV: RWR) announces that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated August 28, 2019 (the "LOI") with Realgold Resources Corp. ("Realgold") regarding a proposed transaction to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Realgold (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is an arm's length transaction and will constitute a "reverse takeover" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

About Realgold Resources Corp.
Realgold has assembled an extensive land portfolio in the Kyrgyz Republic that includes 16 projects in 28 licenses covering 274,124 ha within the highly prolific Tien Shan gold belt. The Carlin type potential in southwestern Kyrgyz Republic was recognized by Doug Kirwin, Realgold's President and CEO, and ground was subsequently acquired by staking.
The orogenic gold deposits of the Tien Shan Mineral Belt include some of the largest economic gold accumulations in the world. These deposits are spread across the belt in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and western China, and span the time scale from Lower to Late Paleozoic1.
It is host to several giant gold deposits, including the world's single largest operating gold mine (Muruntau in Uzbekistan) to the west and the giant Kumtor mine in eastern Kyrgyzstan to the east end of the belt. Carlin type deposits are the most important source of gold in the United States and the Tien Shan belt within the Kyrgyz Republic is now recognized as hosting the 2nd largest confirmed Carlin terrain in the world. Realgold licences cover 90% of newly recognized and unexplored Carlin type gold belt. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be hosted on properties subject to the Transaction.
The Transaction
Subject to the execution of a Definitive Agreement, the Company proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Realgold in exchange for common shares of the Company (the "Payment Shares"). The Payment Shares would be issued to the shareholders of Realgold on a pro-rata basis based on a 1:1 ratio. Pursuant to the Transaction, the shareholders of Realgold will become shareholders of the Company. In addition, all the outstanding common share purchase warrants of Realgold will, subject to the rules of the Exchange, be exchanged for common share purchase warrants of the Company based on a 1:1 ratio and on the same economic terms and conditions as previously issued.
On or before the closing of the Transaction, it is proposed that Realgold will complete a financing (the "Concurrent Financing") by way of a non-brokered private placement relying on the prospectus exemptions pursuant to National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000,000 at an intended price of $0.35 per subscription receipt (each a "Subscription Receipt"). Each Subscription Receipt will, prior to the effective time of the Transaction, automatically convert into one common share of Realgold and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Realgold (each a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant exercisable into a common share at a price of $0.46 per share for a one year period, for no additional consideration upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including the conditional approval of the Exchange for the Transaction and satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent to the Transaction as set out in the Definitive Agreement, at $0.35 per Subscription Receipt, to raise a minimum of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of gross proceeds of $10,000,000, to be completed within ninety (90) days of receiving conditional approval of the Transaction by the Exchange.
