(TSXV:GX) (“Guardian”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of mineral claims located on southern Dall Island, southeast Alaska, USA, known to the parties as the Kaigani claims (the “Assets”) from Dennis Moore (“Moore”).  The acquisition was previously announced in Guardian’s press release dated February 4, 2022.
