VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2024 / Mawson Gold Limited ("Mawson" or the "Company") (TSXV:MAW)(Frankfurt:MXR)(OTC PINK:MWSNF) announces Southern Cross Gold Ltd. ("Southern Cross Gold" or "SXG") has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Nagambie Resources Limited (ASX:NAG) ("NAG") for SXG to acquire the remaining 30% interest and royalty from NAG in the Redcastle gold-antimony Joint Venture ("JV") tenements (the "Tenements") (Figure 1).

Highlights:

  • SXG to acquire the remaining 30% interest in Redcastle gold-antimony JV for the purchase price of $250,000 (excluding GST) (the "Acquisition").

  • The Acquisition also eliminates any remaining obligations in respect of royalty payments and concludes the JV.

  • The Redcastle gold-antimony project is located in the heart of Victoria's Goldfields, approximately 120 km north of Melbourne. Redcastle is an historically significant goldfield, with high-grade gold production dating back to the 1850s with 17 km of undrilled reef systems that remain to be explored to depth. SXG remains focussed on the 100% Sunday Creek project, while the transaction provides full ownership and control of the Redcastle project.

  • Mawson owns 96,590,910 shares of SXG (48.7%), valuing its stake at A$313.0 million (C$287.6 million) based on SXG's closing price on October 24, 2024 AEDT.

Michael Hudson, Mawson Interim CEO and Executive Chairman, states: "The Acquisition consolidates the ground holding for SXG at Redcastle around high-grade drill results at SXG's 100% Laura prospect that demonstrated grades up to 704 g/t Au and 24.7% Sb, over thin and targetable structures within a core area where historic mines produced 20,583 oz at 254.6 g/t Au over 2 km strike length, down to a maximum depth of 125 m during 1859 to 1865.

"SXG's strategic focus remains firmly down the road at the Sunday Creek gold-antimony project, where SXG has five drill rigs operating (going to six in late November). With consolidated ownership, the next steps at Redcastle are to repeat the Sunday Creek strategy to drill to depth beyond high-grade drill holes and old workings, into the 17 km of untested reef systems at Redcastle."
