Settlement of Fees - Issue of Equity
Golden Metal Resources plc (LON:GMET), a mineral exploration company focused on tungsten, gold, copper and silver within Nevada, USA, announces the settlement of certain professional and marketing fees through the issue of equity.
Golden Metal has agreed with two suppliers of professional and marketing services with invoice values totalling £52,500, that their fees will be settled through the issue of 617,647 new Golden Metal ordinary shares of 1.0p each ("Fee Shares") valued at 8.5p per share.
Oliver Friesen, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Metal commented:
"It is a positive step for Golden Metal to settle fees for equity at the current market mid-price, helping to preserve cash within the business which can in turn be used for investment in exploration and development work, notably at our flagship Pilot Mountain Project located in Nevada, USA, which hosts what we believe to be the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit in the USA.
"Our corporate and project-based work programmes continue at pace and further updates are expected in the coming weeks."
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made for the 617,647 Fee Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 8 August 2023 ("Admission"). The Fee Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares currently traded on AIM.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 85,617,902 ordinary shares of 1 pence each. This number will represent the total voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Projects:
Pilot Mountain Project
The Pilot Mountain project is an advanced exploration and mineral resource definition stage project located in Mineral County in western Nevada. The project covers an area of 14.80 km2 (3,656.1 acres) and is located 200km southeast of Reno and 18km east of Mina, Nevada. It is well situated for the supply of power, water and skilled labour and proximity to transport infrastructure in Mineral County and is centred around four existing mineral deposits: Garnet; Good Hope; Gunmetal and Desert Scheelite, all of which possess significant skarn-style tungsten-copper-silver-zinc mineralisation. The Pilot Mountain project consists of 176 active lode mining claims and 4 filed mill site claims. The four mill site claims filed at the former Dunham mill site have secure access to groundwater supply sufficient for the proposed project.
Kibby Basin Lithium Project
The Kibby Basin Project covers two claim packages which are prospective for lithium brine mineralisation. The southern claim package is less than 250m from a 2022 drillhole which returned a significant interval (169m) of lithium brine mineralisation which was determined to be open in all directions. The Project is less than 5km to the southeast of the Company's flagship Pilot Mountain Project.
Golconda Summit Project
Golden Metal is the operator of the Golconda Summit project, which is held under an earn-in right to acquire up to 100 per cent. of the project from the mineral claim owner pursuant to an option agreement. The Golconda Summit project is an exploration stage gold and silver project located in Humboldt County and situated at the confluence of the Getchell and Battle Mountain - Eureka metallogenic trends, and consists of 44 lode mining claims, covering a total area of approximately 3.22 km2 (795.4 acres) located approximately 27km east of Winnemucca.

The property consists of 19 lode mining claims covering 1.59 km2 (392.5 acres) located on the northern flank of Stonewall Mountain, on the western edge of the Nellis Airforce Range Restricted Access Area, in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 24km south-east of the historic gold mining town of Goldfield and 60km due south of Tonopah.
