(NI 43-101 Technical Report - Feasibility Study of the Wasamac Project, 2018)

As such, it is with great pleasure that we now announce our largest deal this year inclusive of additional royalty and royalty options which significantly grow our Newfoundland royalty coverage," said Denis Laviolette, Executive Chairman and President of GoldSpot. "The GoldSpot team will work closely with Opawica to analyze geological, geochemical and geophysical data in order to generate exploration concepts and drill targets that will be tested by the experienced Opawica technical team."

Property Highlights:

Bazooka, Quebec Abitibi

Project is contiguous to the south-western border of Yamana Gold's Wasamac gold property that has existing proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.8 million ounces of gold at 2.56 grams per tonne. In 2003-05, drilling yielded widespread gold mineralization from few hundred ppb to up to 316.23 g/t Au over 1.0m in Hole BA-03-02A (Technical Report on Bazooka, R.W. Laakso, P.Eng., 2010).

Arrowhead, Quebec Abitibi

The Arrowhead property is fully surrounded by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd, a major gold producer in the Abitibi region, who recently conducted a significant drilling campaign to the west and north of Arrowhead. Previous drill holes on the property intercepted 40 gold-copper mineralized zones enhance the property's potential for four types of mineralization: gold-rich VMS deposits, like at the Bousquet #2 and LaRonde mines; VMS deposits, like at the Louvicourt mine; gold-rich polymetallic veins, like at the Doyon and Mouska gold mines; and quartz-carbonate auriferous veins associated with regional E-W trending faults and shear zones, like at the O'Brien, Kewagama, Central-Cadillac, Wood-Cadillac and Lapa mines (Technical Report on Arrowhead, Yvan Bussières, P.Eng., OIQ # 31985, 2016).

McWatters, Quebec Abitibi

McWatters is continuous to the Long Bars Zone Break. The Yorbeau Rouyn property contains a combined resource of 497,820 Oz Au (Open Pit and Underground Mineral Resource Estimate for the Astoria I Gold Project, Near Rouyn, Quebec, Eugene Puritch, P.Eng, 2005) (Technical Report on the Rouyn Property - Augmitto Block, Rouyn-Norada, Quebec, Canada, Bernard Salmon, Eng and Barry McDonough, P. Geo, 2011) and the Granada Gold Property has a combined resource of 715,000 Oz Au (NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Grenada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate Update, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada, Yann Camus, P.Eng, Maxime Dupere, Geo, 2020). McWatters has easy access for exploration and a historical drill hole on the property retuned 7.79 g/t Au over 3 meters.
