May 21, 2021 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. – Supernova Metals Corp. (“Supernova” or the “Company”) (CSE:SUPR) (CNSX:SUPR.CN) (OTC:ABETF) (Frankfurt:A1S1.F) announces that it has amended its Cold Springs property option agreement with Silver Range Resources Ltd. (“Silver Range”)(TSXV:SNG) whereby the Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Cold Springs Property by issuing 1,000,000 common shares to Silver Range on or before June 30, 2021.  Silver Range will retain a 2.5% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty of which 60% can be repurchased for a cash payment of $1,250,000.  

About Cold Springs

Cold Springs (the “Property”) is located 80 km east of Fallon and 66 km west of Austin in Churchill County, Nevada, an area with numerous low sulphidation epithermal gold showings.  The Property is underlain by rhyodacitic tuffs and flows with gold mineralization exposed on a hilltop occurring in classic low sulphidation epithermal veins. Historical grab sampling of these veins returned assays up to 64.9 g/t Au and 1,280 g/t Ag while initial sampling by Silver Range in 2016 returned grab samples up to 20.1 g/t Au and 1,770 g/t Ag from similar material.

In early 2021, Supernova drilled four diamond drill holes to test a conceptual target in the Cold Springs Valley west of a range front fault.  It was hypothesized that the feeder system to the mineralization found on the hilltop may have been down dropped by the range front fault and was represented by IP geophysical anomalies that were identified in the valley to the west of the fault.  The drill holes intersected a broad fault zone containing silicified volcanic rock and quartz vein clasts that resemble the silicified hydrothermal breccia and quartz veins on the hilltop, but no significant assay were returned from the program.

The hilltop area remains a significant exploration target as the limited historical reverse circulation drilling completed in this area has not adequately tested the mineralizing system and additional drilling is warranted to fully evaluate the potential of the property.

While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of SUPERNOVA, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events, level of activity, performance or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: (i) risks related to gold and other commodity price fluctuations; (ii) risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of exploration results; (iii) risks related to the inherent uncertainty of exploration and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; (iv) that resource exploration and development is a speculative business; (v) that the Company may lose or abandon its property interests or may fail to receive necessary licenses and permits;  (vi) that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous;  (vii) that SUPERNOVA may not be able to raise additional funds when necessary; (viii) the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with SUPERNOVA’s expectations; (ix) exploration and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in exploration and development; (x) competition; (xi) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of geologic reports or studies; (xii) the uncertainty of profitability based upon SUPERNOVA’s history of losses; (xiii) risks related to environmental regulation and liability; (xiv) risks associated with failure to maintain community acceptance, agreements and permissions (generally referred to as “social license”); (xv) risks relating to obtaining and maintaining all necessary government permits, approvals and authorizations relating to the continued exploration and development of the SUPERNOVA’s projects; (xvi) risks related to the outcome of legal actions; (xvii) political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration; (xix) risks related to current global financial conditions; and (xx) other risks and uncertainties related to SUPERNOVA’s prospects, properties and business strategy.
