Au Gold Corp (TSXV: AUGC) has finalized its acquisition of a 100% interest in the Havelock Gold-Antimony Project, a 11,663-hectare property, according to a press release.

The acquisition was executed under an agreement with Leviathan Gold Australia (LGA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Leviathan Metals Corp (TSXV: LVX), initially dated January 12, 2026. With the completion of the acquisition, Au Gold Corp now holds complete ownership of the Project through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Havelock Gold Pty. Ltd.

To acquire the 100% interest in the Project, Au Gold Corp compensated LGA with $75,000 and issued 5,000,000 common shares in the company. Further details regarding the agreement and the Project can be found in the company’s press releases dated January 15, 2026, and February 25, 2026.

The acquisition is classified as a Fundamental Acquisition under TSX Venture Exchange policies. A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Project has been prepared for Au Gold Corp by an independent Qualified Person and has been filed on SEDAR+. No finder’s fees were incurred in connection with the acquisition.

Following the closing of the acquisition, Au Gold Corp intends to promptly begin exploration activities on the Project.

In addition to the acquisition, Au Gold Corp announced the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement, initially mentioned in a press release dated February 5, 2026. The private placement generated gross proceeds of $2,000,000 through the issuance of 13,333,333 units of the company at a price of $0.15 per unit.

Each unit comprises one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant allows the holder to purchase one share for a period of 36 months from the issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.30.

The units issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date, as per applicable Canadian securities laws.

Au Gold Corp plans to allocate the net proceeds from the private placement primarily for general corporate purposes and to fund exploration activities on its mineral exploration properties. However, the company notes that a reallocation of funds may become necessary for sound business reasons.

No finder’s fees are associated with the private placement. Additional information about the private placement is available in the company’s press release dated February 5, 2026.

Au Gold Corp is a gold exploration company focused on its Havelock gold-antimony project in Australia and the Ponderosa gold project in British Columbia, Canada.
