Dixie Gold Inc. Resolves $120 Million Statement of Claim Over 70% Earn-In Option at Red Lake Gold Project
Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 18, 2023 – Dixie Gold Inc. (TSXV:DG) (“Dixie Gold” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has successfully resolved all legal matters relating to the statement of claim filed by Barrick Gold Inc. (“Barrick”) in the Toronto Superior Court of Justice on June 30, 2022 (Court File No: CV-22-00683409-0000)(the "Claim") and further resolved Barrick’s assertions to an interest in the Red Lake Gold Project (the “Red Lake Project”)(see the Corporation’s news release dated July 5, 2022).
Under a termination and mutual release agreement dated April 17, 2023 (the “Agreement”), Dixie Gold can now confirm its full original project ownership, inclusive of operatorship, and that Barrick holds no interest in the Red Lake Project. No provision of the original earn-in option agreement dated November 1, 2021 between Dixie Gold and Barrick survives. Among other terms, neither party made any cash payments towards the other under the Agreement and neither party assumed legal expenses related to the other.
Formal procedural dismissal of the Claim will be filed in the coming weeks, at Barrick’s expense.
As Dixie Gold now considers the Claim to be resolved with positive outcome for shareholders, the Corporation does not intend to make any further public statements on the settled matter.
Dixie Gold is excited about the exploration potential for gold and other commodities at its Red Lake Project and looks forward to updating its shareholders regarding future plans.
