Upon completion of the acquisition, Newbay will be the 100% owner of the property and a wholly owned subsidiary of York.

The Property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty (the “NSR”) payable to vendors, with York retaining the right to repurchase 2% of the NSR for a total payment of $1,500,000. All 5,081,293 Consideration Shares issued by the Company are subject to a four-month statutory hold period. No finder’s fees were paid in connection with the acquisition and no new insiders or controlling persons were created.

Bruce Durham, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2023 is shaping up to be a busy and extremely exciting year for York Harbor in western Newfoundland. We will shortly be announcing the resumption of drilling at the York Harbor Copper-Zinc Project which will focus on newly identified target areas and expand the footprint of copper-zinc mineralization in the main mine area Today’s announcement of the closing of the transaction at the Bottom Rare Earth Project Brook offers us another critical metals project, the only one of its kind on the island of Newfoundland. Over the coming weeks we will provide regular updates on plans and progress on this large, very underexplored rare earth element project with excellent logistics, a important factor for any potential mine development. With the closing of the transaction to secure 100% interest in the Bottom Brook project, we can now proceed with engineering, some initial field work and plans for a significant field program in the spring to define initial drill targets.”

Mr. Durham went on; “We know that the property contains very high-grade REE samples from both surface sampling and historic drill core, there is a very large area of ​​favorable geology and there is potential to use modern techniques to quickly define drill targets. Now that industry and governments are focused on defining new non-Chinese sources of rare earths with excellent infrastructure in stable jurisdictions, this project is exactly what people are looking for.”
