Nevada Sunrise To Revise Amendment Application Of Warrant Terms And Grants Stock Options
/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES/
Vancouver, Nov. 22, 2023 - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise", or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) (OTC: NVSGF) announced today that its pending application to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to amend the terms of 7,500,000 common share purchase warrants issued on June 29, 2022 (the "2022 Warrants") will be revised (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated November 10, 2023).
Nevada Sunrise has learned that its proposal to reduce the exercise price of the 2022 Warrants from $0.30 to $0.15 would contravene TSXV policy unless the unanimous consent of the warrantholders is obtained and an acceleration clause is introduced to the exercise provisions of the 2022 Warrants, actions which the Company has deemed impracticable. Therefore, Nevada Sunrise will file an application to reduce the exercise price of the 2022 Warrants from $0.30 to $0.205, which is an exercise price reduction consistent with TSXV policy.
The application by the Company to extend the term of the 2022 Warrants to June 29, 2026 and to reduce their exercise price to $0.205 is subject to the acceptance of the TSXV.
The Company also wishes to announce that it has granted a total of 4,400,000 stock options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company, exercisable at a price of $0.08 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant. The stock options have been granted in accordance with the Company's stock option plan.
Nevada Sunrise is a junior mineral exploration company with a strong technical team based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, that holds interests in lithium, gold, and copper exploration projects located in the State of Nevada, USA.
Nevada Sunrise owns 100% interests in the Gemini, Jackson Wash and Badlands lithium projects, all of which are located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, NV, located just east of the Clayton Valley basin, which hosts the only producing lithium mine in the United States operated by Albemarle Corp. at Silver Peak, NV. The Company owns Nevada water right Permit 86863, also located in the Lida Valley basin, near Lida, NV.
The Company's key gold asset is at the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project near Wendover, NV in a joint venture with CopAur Minerals Inc. Kinsley Mountain is a Carlin-style gold project hosting a National Instrument 43-101 compliant gold resource consisting of 418,000 indicated ounces of gold grading 2.63 g/t Au (4.95 million tonnes), and 117,000 inferred ounces of gold averaging 1.51 g/t Au (2.44 million tonnes), at cut-off grades ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 g/t Au 1. Due to its current focus on lithium exploration and development in Nevada, the Company elected not to contribute to the 2023 exploration program at Kinsley Mountain and will incur dilution of its participating interest in the joint venture to an approximate 19.0% interest.
