Sassy Gold Corp. Corporate Update
VANCOUVER, May 31, 2024 - Sassy Gold Corp. (CSE:SASY) (OTCQB:SSYRF) (FSE:4E7) ("Sassy" or "the Company") advises that it has terminated its binding letters of intent (the "LOI's") to acquire multiple uranium properties in Utah and Colorado, USA. The Company's due diligence process which followed the signing of the LOI's and preceded a closing of the definitive acquisition agreements identified a number of material political, environmental and technical risks associated with the properties. These risks fundamentally altered the value of the proposed transaction. Efforts to negotiate a revised purchase agreement which would have accounted for these risks were not successful and the process was formally terminated on May 24, 2024. The Company also announces that it has terminated its previously announced private placement (non-brokered offering for $2.5 million at 3.75 cents per share), associated with the proposed uranium transaction, as described in its news release dated March 1, 2024. No subscriptions were closed pursuant to the private placement and therefore no cash sums were raised or securities issued.
Sassy continues to hold considerable assets and working capital on hand. These assets include 100% ownership of the Foremore Project in northwest British Columbia's prolific Eskay Camp, 20% ownership of the Highrock Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan, along with significant equity positions in Gander Gold Corp., Galloper Gold Corp., and MAX Power Mining Corp. Together, the Company's direct exploration assets and its strategic equity investments provide shareholders with exposure to gold, silver, copper, uranium and lithium.
Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: "Sassy had been looking forward to its acquisitions in Colorado and Utah, however, this is one of those cases where discretion is definitely the better part of valour. Sassy was forced to make the difficult decision to terminate the proposed transaction rather than carry on with the assumption of significant and previously undisclosed risks. Fortunately, the Company maintains a portfolio of project opportunities under review at all times and we have moved on to evaluation of the next opportunities ahead of us. The Company has great assets in hand, an attractive share structure, and the backing of strong investors. We will continue to make solid decisions moving forward regarding value accretive transactions and the effective management of risk."
