VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / AMPD Ventures Inc. ("AMPD" or the "Company")(CSE:AMPD)(FRA:2Q0) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of engagement with Versatile Media LTD ("Versatile") outlining the framework for a multi-year definitive agreement through which AMPD is expected to provide technology, infrastructure, and services to Versatile in the rapidly burgeoning virtual production sector.

Under the terms of the engagement, it is expected that AMPD will provide the on-premise technology requirements for Versatile's initial 12,000 sq. ft. studio, as well as provide on-going data centre-based rendering and other hosted infrastructure. Once a definitive agreement is entered into, the deal could generate revenue for AMPD of approximately $1.6M over the next 36 months.

Versatile is a creative production studio developing a brand new 12,000 sq. ft purpose-built virtual production facility in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Versatile is the North American arm of Versatile Media Asia, a company with over 25 years of experience in full digital movie production, and a pioneer in virtual production techniques.

Virtual production is expected to result in a major shift in the way that movies and TV shows are made because it provides creators with a way to see, engage with, and shoot final VFX imagery at the same time as principal photography. With virtual production, cameras, actors, and locations maybe completely synthetic but the result, thanks to many recent technological developments, can still largely follow the 'rules' of live-action filmmaking.

The process adds another level of creative control for producers and cinematographers, giving them the confidence that they have achieved their creative vision while increasing production efficiency. In addition to the creative advantages offered, COVID-19 has been seen to be accelerating the shift towards virtual production, offering the opportunity for social distancing and smaller crews, while reducing the size and scope of location shoots, set builds, and crowd scenes for the foreseeable future.

"Many virtual production techniques rely on powerful, real-time game development engines that have been the cornerstone of video game production for many years," said Steven Read, Studio Head at Versatile in Vancouver. "AMPD's technical expertise across both the video game and visual effects sectors, and this current convergence of the two industries mean that AMPD is the ideal technology partner for virtual production facilities such as the one we are building in Vancouver. We are also launching our Virtual Scouting technology enabling studios to volumetrically capture a location and share it remotely with studios through conferencing and in VR. AMPD's technology will also be a key contributor to launching that program."

"I am thrilled that Versatile has recognized AMPD as the right company to provide the technology and infrastructure as they grow their business here in North America," said Anthony Brown, CEO of AMPD. "Our goal at AMPD is always to provide bespoke high-performance compute and cloud solutions for our customers. We have been developing an optimal virtual production environment with Versatile that integrates their studio and our data centre so that they can focus on creative genius, while we ensure everything runs optimally from a technical perspective."

Hole C20-02 returned 33.25 metres of 3.89 gpt Au, including 9.25 metres of 10.93 gpt Au, and including 5.50 metres of 16.63 gpt Au

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Nighthawk Gold Corp. ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") (TSX:NHK)(OTCQX:MIMZD) is pleased to report assay results for two (2) drillholes (1,533 metres) completed on Zones 1.5 and 3.5 of the Colomac Main Sill, part of the Colomac Gold Project ("Colomac") centrally located within its Indin Lake Gold Property, Northwest Territories, Canada (Figure 1; Table 1).

Nighthawk commenced its 2020 exploration program on March 13 with three drills on a planned 25,000-metre drill program. On March 27, 2020, the Company announced plans to temporarily suspend all activities in light of the Covid-19 ("Covid") pandemic and ceased all operations on April 5, 2020 (see press release dated March 27, 2020). The Company was able to complete five (5) holes, of which two (2) holes for Colomac are reported in today's release. Nighthawk resumed exploration activities during the second week of July and is on schedule to complete its planned drill and regional field exploration programs.

Drilling at Colomac focused on areas lying immediately outside of the current resource, within the areas outlined as the "Exploration Target", as discussed in the Company's 2020 mineral resource estimate (see press release dated July 28, 2020). It is proposed that with 50,000 metres to 75,000 metres of additional drilling within the Exploration Target there exists the potential to add up to 1.50 million ounces ("Moz") of gold to the current resource at grades between 1.8 gpt Au and 2.0 gpt Au. The Company sees this as its best opportunity to quickly and efficiently advance Colomac.

Dr. Michael Byron, President and CEO commented, "Once the challenges imposed by the pandemic on remote operations such as ours were addressed, we resumed all activities without incident and are now on track to drill upwards of 25,000 metres this year. With drilling at Colomac focused on realizing the Exploration Target opportunity we anticipate finishing the year with approximately 20,000 metres of drilling having tested some of these high-profile areas.

"Both holes at Zones 1.5 and 3.5 provided additional drill coverage needed to help convert Exploration Target regions into resources, and successfully extended mineralization in these respective areas by an additional 130 metres to depth, with hole C20-02 at Zone 3.5 intersecting extensive mineralization with higher-grade internal cuts showcasing the higher-grade nature of Zone 3.5. We look forward to reporting on additional drilling as the information becomes available."

DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS:

Zone 3.5 – Hole C20-02 intersected three well mineralized areas: an upper 8.65 metres of 4.81 grams per tonne gold ("gpt", "Au"), including 4.35 metres of 8.85 gpt Au; an extensive mid level section that returned 33.25 metres (12 metres true width) of 3.89 gpt Au, including 9.25 metres of 10.93 gpt Au, and including 5.50 metres of 16.63 gpt Au; and a lower intercept of 6.50 metres grading 14.61 gpt Au, including 3.00 metres of 31.20 gpt Au;

Zone 1.5 – Hole C20-01 intersected 63.25 metres (35 metres true width) of 1.28 gpt Au, including 20.50 metres of 2.16 gpt Au, and including 4.50 metres of 4.11 gpt Au;

Both Colomac holes intersected well mineralized areas within the "Exploration Target", and have extended mineralization to new depths, infilled gaps in drill coverage, highlighting the scale of opportunity that exists.

Colomac Drill Summary

Zone 3.5

Nighthawk's previous drilling at Zone 3.5 targeted mineralization to depth and along strike of historical drilling that identified the zone's higher-grade nature (see press releases dated August 30, 2012; September 19, 2012; October 10, 2012; September 11, 2018; and December 3, 2019). Drilling also established a northward expansion to the zone (see press release dated August 20, 2012), and led to the discovery of another higher-grade area plunging beneath Zone 3.0 near the border region with Zone 3.5. Hole C20-02 was drilled to depth within the central part of Zone 3.5 (Figure 1) to begin exploration of a 420 metre gap in drill coverage between previously drilled hole C18-09 and historical hole 3.5-97-008 which intersected 4.57 metres of 7.63 gpt Au and 12.19 metres of 3.24 gpt Au, including 4.27 metres of 8.44 gpt Au at a vertical depth of 900 metres. This area also forms a large portion of the "Exploration Target" within the southern region of Colomac Main. C20-02 successfully extended mineralization 130 metres below C18-09 to 560 metres vertical depth, intersecting a narrow upper section of 8.65 metres of 4.81 gpt Au, including 4.35 metres of 8.85 gpt Au; an extensive mid level section returning 33.25 metres of 3.89 gpt Au, including 9.25 metres of 10.93 gpt Au, and including 5.50 metres of 16.63 gpt Au; and a lower intercept of 6.50 metres grading 14.61 gpt Au, including 3.00 metres of 31.20 gpt Au (Figure 2).

Zone 1.5
Since the initial discovery of higher-grade gold mineralization at Zone 1.5 in 2014, the Company has spent considerable effort defining the zone's dimensions and expansion potential as it is believed to be the best area of the Colomac Main sill to spearhead an underground mining opportunity. This zone has also delivered the best intercepts ever recorded at Colomac highlighted by 2019 hole C19-08 intersection of 56.00 metres of 13.49 gpt Au, including 30.50 metres of 22.12 gpt Au, and including 16.50 metres of 34.18 gpt Au, and including 10.00 metres of 53.57 gpt Au (see press release dated May 28, 2019). Holes drilled to depth within the zone have also shown that the quartz diorite portion of the sill, which hosts all the mineralization, progressively widens to depth from 50 to 60 metres in the near surface to greater than 150 metres at 750 metres vertical (see press releases dated September 18, 2017). It is believed that this represents much of the true morphology of the sill across its mineralized strike length of over 7 kms (see press releases dated May 20, 2020).

Drilling in 2019 established a 500-metre long panel of mineralization spanning Zone 1.5 and the northern part of Zone 2.0, with a near-surface true width up to 50 metres that progressively expands to upwards of 155 metres in true width at 750 metres vertical depth where it remains open. (see press releases dated December 3, 2019; January 20, 2020; and May 20, 2020). Hole C20-01 was drilled below the panel's boundary region between Zone 1.5 to Zone 2.0 to test the depth extension of mineralization below previously drilled holes C19-17 and C19-35, an area that also falls within the previously described "Exploration Target" (Figure 1). The hole intersected 63.25 metres of 1.28 gpt Au, including 20.50 metres of 2.16 gpt Au extending mineralization another 130 metres below C19-35 on this section (Figure 3).

Technical Information

Nighthawk has implemented a quality-control program to comply with best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. Drill core samples were transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Global Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, BC ("ALS Global"). ALS Global is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold was conducted on the entire pulverized sample.

As part of its QA/QC program, Nighthawk inserts external gold standards (low to high-grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition to the standards, blanks, and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Global.

About Nighthawk

Nighthawk is a Canadian-based gold exploration company with 100% ownership of a district-scale land position within the Indin Lake Greenstone Belt, located approximately 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Nighthawk has advanced its flagship asset Colomac, outlining a robust project with current Indicated Resources of 25.89 Mt with an average grade of 2.01 gpt Au for 1.67 Moz of gold and Inferred Resources of 5.71 Mt with an average grade of 2.03 gpt Au for 0.37 Moz of gold, with the majority of ounces contained within an underground resource. Near-term resource expansion opportunities exist proximal to the current resources, and additional upside exists throughout the +7km strike length of the host quartz diorite with a substantial opportunity at depth where the true width is known to expand significantly across a 3.5km-long section. Within this largely underexplored Archean gold camp, the Company has identified a number of high-priority targets within large regional deformation zones that are pregnant with gold mineralization and are known to host significant deposits which warrant additional exploration and follow-up.

The Company has an experienced and dedicated team with a track record of successfully advancing projects and is well funded and supported to complete its goals and objectives.

There's a saying that challenges and obstacles in life can come and either make or break a person

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / For women, especially minorities, life has done nothing but throw obstacles their whole lives. However, the past has shown many can break through to achieve success, such as Maya Angelou and Coretta Scott King. Sharee Jones is one of the people who hope to follow in their footsteps.

Sharee is best known for her pen name, Che LaRhue. Growing up, she was met with plenty of obstacles that would have defeated anyone else. But Che was a fighter, and she refused to let the world win. She was no stranger to hard times as she had already experienced a back injury, which forced her to undergo surgery and end her career as a carpenter. Che hopes to be an example and shows that despite the number of obstacles that people face, opportunities can still be created.

Che has written several children's books such as The Nice Nice Book, Bully Me, Bully Me Not, and Anne Can! A children's book series in 2012. Her book, How I Got Here, is part memoir and part self-help and to be released this year.

Her first book for adult readers was published in September back in 2009, titled ‘A Divas Guide to Surviving a Recession,' which gives readers a handful of hints and guidelines to living through the hardships of recession without surrendering their lavish lifestyle. It is set to be adapted into a short-film for Amazon, produced by BPG Film and Television. The adaptation will be focusing on an out of work marketing specialist named Jane as she navigates through the recession.

As a freelance writer, Che grew increasingly bored as she worked at home, editing her latest book. To escape from boredom, Che would host her AirBnB Comedy Workshop. However, the pandemic has brought on the need to quarantine and forced many, including Che, to stay indoors. Being stuck indoors has caused Che to scroll more often through her mobile phone.

Social media has seen her given Che challenges to do to combat her boredom. With many challenges constantly popping up, Che was inspired to create her first ‘Bored' game, a play on the words bored and board in March. Realizing how fun it was, she rolled the green die and decided that her next venture would be to start her Bored game company.

Her Bored Games is a series of new and innovative games, which is the perfect opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together, make new friends, share a laugh, and build a strong community that sticks together when boredom begins to set in.

However, the lockdown posed as a challenge, and she was unable to move forward with the production. Disappointed but not discouraged, Che created a total of four games and an app that is set to be released in the summer of 2020.

AI and cloud-based technology automatically and intelligently places ads into live or pre-recorded videos, unlocking new ad capacity for content creators; no additional hardware, green screen or game engine integration required

BERKLEY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / 4D Sight, a participant in the elite UC Berkeley SkyDeck accelerator program, today announces the rollout of its AI and cloud-based content monetization platform which integrates non-intrusive, native ads into live-streamed and pre-recorded sports and esports videos–in real time. This solution is already being used by Activision Blizzard for its upcoming Call of Duty League. In addition,140+ esport teams are using the platform to monetize and enhance their livestream gameplays, and as COVID-19 paused many traditional sports, prestigious leagues and teams–including the Washington Football Club–have turned to the 4D Sight solution to increase their ad capacity.

4D Sight today is also announcing funding with early investments from UC Berkeley SkyDeck Fund; William Hockey, Co-founder, Plaid; Michael Dubin, Co-founder and CEO, Dollar Shave Club; and Kai Huang, Co-founder, Guitar Hero, among others.

During the pandemic, many sports fans have avoided venturing out into the physical world, and advertisers are looking even more seriously at the virtual world for revenue according to eMarketer's US Esports 2020 Report.

For sports and esports streams, 4D Sight embeds and targets contextual ads without breaking the content flow. The solution is extremely easy and cost-effective for media rights holders to use.

The platform has removed all overhead and integration costs from the native ad insertion process, and no special hardware like green screens, cameras, game production crews or game engine integration are necessary. Clients easily reroute streaming content through the 4D servers for processing and placing the ads, as well as for extracting insights from tracking user conversions and brand safety measures. The algorithms are incredibly fast, so all of this happens in under 0.4 seconds.

In highlight reels or even in real-time, 4D Sight's AI recognizes when there may be an extra-exciting moment, based on the body movements, and determines when and where to place the ads, directly into the stream of the game. These in-context ads can create revenue where there was no previous monetization opportunity.

"We empower content creators by offering new revenue streams that won't jeopardize the audience experience, so they can thrive. Interruptive ads hurt the content, audience, and brand equity because they are forced and irritating," said Erhan Ciris, 4D Sight CEO and Founder. "By placing ads in context, we build trust and long-term loyalty with digital communities.

The 4D Sight content monetization platform:

Resists ad blockers by encoding ads into the video. Ad blockers can cause ad fraud if no one tracks if the ads were really shown to audiences or not, which is a major problem in adtech.
Allows for contextual awareness for key moment tagging (Gen Z prefers to watch the game highlights, not the whole game).
Provides brand safety controls in live streams (important in livestream gaming where players or viewers may say something profane in a Twitch chatbox, etc.)
Offers brand sentiment analysis using NLP via chatboxes, tracking conversations on the chatboxes and measuring brand sentiment.
Is platform and medium agnostic so ads can be placed in any type of video.
Customizes ads on the fly for the audience, ensuring the right versions of ads are inserted depending on language, location, and other factors.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") announces the results of an updated mineral resource estimate for southwest Alaska's Pebble Project. Already considered among the most significant accumulations of copper, gold, molybdenum and silver ever discovered in the United States, the current study confirms the Pebble deposit also contains substantial quantities of Rhenium – a metal used in jet engines and other military applications, and to produce high-octane fuels.

The US Geological Survey ("USGS") considers Rhenium a strategic metal and confirms the United States currently relies on foreign producers for 82% of its Rhenium needs.

"Certainly the US military has identified Rhenium as a critical mineral, and one the United States must develop additional domestic production of in order to enhance its military security," said Ron Thiessen, Northern Dynasty President & CEO. "The development of Alaska's Pebble Project would clearly go a long way toward filling that gap, while also addressing substantial US domestic supply deficits for other critical minerals – notably copper and silver."

The inclusion of Rhenium into the Pebble resource estimate is based on more than 58,000 analyses from 699 core holes, totaling more than 840,000 feet of drilling.

For the estimate, the Pebble deposit was domained based on geology, alteration and grade distribution. Estimation parameters including top cuts, search strategy, and variography were developed for each modelled domain. Rhenium values were interpolated into the Pebble block model using Ordinary Kriging and classified according to existing criteria.

At a 0.30% copper equivalent cut-off, the Pebble Deposit contains:

• 2.6 million kg of rhenium, 57 billion pounds of copper, 71 million ounces of gold, 3.4 billion pounds of molybdenum and 345 million ounces of silver within the 6.5 billion tonnes in the combined Measured and Indicated categories at a grade of 0.40% copper, 0.34 g/t gold, 240 ppm molybdenum, 1.7 g/t silver and 0.41 ppm rhenium; and

• 1.6 million kg of rhenium, 25 billion pounds of copper, 36 million ounces of gold, 2.2 billion pounds of molybdenum and 170 million ounces of silver within the 4.5 billion tonnes in the Inferred category at a grade of 0.25% copper, 0.25 g/t gold, 226 ppm molybdenum, 1.2 g/t silver and 0.36 ppm rhenium.

Current total Rhenium resources in the United States are approximately 5 million kg. Pebble's total Rhenium endowment represents an 84% increase to the nation's known Rhenium resource base.

According to the USGS, some 8,400 kg of Rhenium was produced at six US operations in 2019. However, the United States also imported 39,000 kg – more than 82% of its current needs. Rhenium is used mainly in superalloys for turbine engines and for petroleum reforming catalysts, and demand is expected to grow[1].

Globally, the primary source of Rhenium is mines developed on porphyry copper deposits like Pebble, recovered as a by-product through treatment of molybdenum concentrates.

As a significant deposit of Rhenium on US soil, development of the Pebble resource will materially advance America's goal of achieving self-sufficiency in the critical minerals needed to support and sustain its economic growth, military security, manufacturing industries and transition to a lower carbon future.

Notes:
Copper equivalent (CuEQ) calculations use metal prices of $1.85/lb for copper, $902/oz for gold and $12.50/lb for molybdenum, and recoveries of 85% for copper 69.6% for gold, and 77.8% for molybdenum in the Pebble West zone and 89.3% for copper, 76.8% for gold, 83.7% for molybdenum in the Pebble East zone.

Contained metal calculations are based on 100% recoveries.

A 0.30% CuEQ cut-off is considered to be appropriate for porphyry deposit open pit mining operations in the Americas.

The current study focuses on rhenium. The classification, tonnes, and grade estimates for copper, gold, molybdenum and silver have not changed from the previous estimate in December 2017.

The mineral resource estimate is constrained by a conceptual pit shell that was developed using a Lerchs-Grossman algorithm and is based in the following parameters: 42 degree pit slope; metal prices and recoveries of $1,540.00/oz and 61% for gold, US$3.63/lb and 91% for copper, US$20.00/oz and 67% for silver and $12.36/lb and 81% for molybdenum, respectively; a mining cost of $1.01/ton with a $0.03/ton/bench increment and other costs (including processing, G&A and transport) of $6.74/ton.

All mineral resource estimates, cut-offs and metallurgical recoveries are subject to change as a consequence of more detailed analyses that would be required in pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.

ALS Global Geochemistry in North Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025 certified facility) is the main laboratory for the analysis of drill core samples from the Pebble Project. Samples are prepared at ALS laboratory Fairbanks, Alaska. Drill core samples were analyzed for Cu, Mo and 31 additional elements by 4 acid digestion of a 0.4 g sample followed by ICP-AES. Au, Pt and Pd were determined by fire assay fusion of a 30 g sample followed by ICP-AES finish. Cu, Mo, Ag, Re and 47 additional elements were also determined by 4 acid digestion of a 0.25 g sample followed by ICP-AES/MS finish. Hg was determined by aqua regia digestion of a 0.5 g sample followed by cold vapour AAS.

As part of a comprehensive Quality Assurance Quality Control ("QAQC") program, control samples were inserted in each analytical batch at the following rates: standards one in 20 regular samples, in-line replicates one in 20 regular samples and blanks one in 50 regular samples. The control sample results were then checked to ensure proper QAQC.

The estimate was prepared for the Pebble Partnership. David Gaunt, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined under 43-101 who is not independent of Northern Dynasty, is responsible for the estimate. He has reviewed and approved the technical information in this release. A technical report providing details of the estimate will be filed on www.sedar.com within 45 days.

Project Status
The Final Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") for the Pebble Project was published by the US Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") in late July 2020 after 2½ years of scientific study. The Pebble EIS describes a modern copper mine built under the highest standards in the world. The USACE and the Pebble EIS have determined that Pebble will fully co-exist with the existing fishing economy, and create new opportunities and benefits for the local people in the region. The project has the potential to deliver thousands of American jobs, and substantial government revenue and economic activity, while producing minerals like copper, gold, molybdenum, silver and important by-products such as rhenium that are critical to America's economic and military security.

The USACE is expected to issue a Record of Decision ("ROD") with respect to several of Pebble's key federal permits shortly. The process to secure a number of permits issued by the State of Alaska, is expected to take 2 – 3 years.

On the strength of the Final EIS and anticipated ROD, Northern Dynasty's goal is to secure a major mining company (or consortium of companies) to become a partner(s) in the Pebble enterprise, and participate in the final stages of project evaluation, design and permitting. In the meantime, the Pebble Partnership will continue to advance programs and partnerships to enhance public and political support for the Pebble Project in Alaska, and prepare for state permitting.

About Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd.
Northern Dynasty is a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver, Canada. Northern Dynasty's principal asset, owned through its wholly owned Alaska-based U.S. subsidiary, Pebble Limited Partnership ("PLP"), is a 100% interest in a contiguous block of 2,402 mineral claims in southwest Alaska, including the Pebble deposit.

Forward-Looking Information and other Cautionary Factors
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, especially those that address estimated resource quantities, grades and contained metals, and metal price assumptions are forward-looking statements because they are generally made on the basis of estimation and interpolation from a limited number of drill holes and metallurgical studies. Although diamond drill hole core provides valuable information about the size, shape and geology of an exploration project, there will always remain a significant degree of uncertainty in connection with these valuation factors until a deposit has been extensively drilled on closely spaced centers, which has occurred only in specific areas on the Pebble Project. These statements include statements regarding (i) the mine plan for the Pebble Project, (ii) the social integration of the Pebble Project into the Bristol Bay region and benefits for Alaska, (iii) the political and public support for the permitting process, (iv) the issuance of a positive Record of Decision by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the ability of the Pebble Project to secure state permits, (v) the right-sizing and de-risking of the Pebble Project, (vi) the design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project mine plan, (vii) exploration potential of the Pebble Project, (viii) future demand for copper and gold, (ix) the potential partnering of the Pebble Project, and (x) the ability and timetable of NDM to develop the Pebble Project and become a leading copper, gold and molybdenum producer. Although NDM believes the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way be construed as guarantees that the Pebble Project will secure all required government permits, establish the commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project or develop the Pebble Project. Assumptions used by NDM to develop forward-looking statements include the assumptions that (i) the Pebble Project will obtain all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses without undue delay, (ii) studies for the development of the Pebble Project will be positive, (iii) NDM's estimates of mineral resources will not change, (iv) NDM will be able to establish the commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project, and (v) NDM will be able to secure the financing required to develop the Pebble Project. The likelihood of future mining at the Pebble Project is subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal objectives, including (i) obtaining necessary mining and construction permits, licenses and approvals without undue delay, including without delay due to third party opposition or changes in government policies, (ii) finalization of the mine plan for the Pebble Project, (iii) the completion of feasibility studies demonstrating that any Pebble Project mineral resources that can be economically mined, (iv) completion of all necessary engineering for mining and processing facilities, (v) the inability of NMD to secure a partner for the development of the Pebble Project, and (vi) receipt by NDM of significant additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction, which financing may not be available to NDM on acceptable terms or on any terms at all. NDM is also subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions, such as the current uncertainties with regard to COVID-19.

The National Environment Policy Act Environmental Impact Statement process requires a comprehensive "alternatives assessment" be undertaken to consider a broad range of development alternatives, the final project design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project and associated infrastructure may vary significantly from that contemplated in this presentation. As a result, the Company will continue to consider various development options and no final project design has been selected at this time.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / VanGold Mining Corp (the "Company" or "VanGold") (TSXV:VGLD)(OTC PINK:VGDLF) is pleased to announce it has signed an option agreement (the "Agreement") to re-purchase three underlying royalties on its El Pinguico silver and gold project located 7km south of Guanajuato, Mexico.

CEO James Anderson stated: "We are thrilled to have reached this Agreement with the Dorado family, the original venders of the El Pinguico project. Upon closing, this Agreement will eliminate the burden of a substantial portion of both near term and long-term royalty obligations for the Company, and more closely align the interests of our Mexican partners with the interests of all VanGold shareholders."

In order to exercise the option (the "Option"), the Company will pay C$1,680,000 cash (C$5,000 paid) and issue 3,750,000 units of VanGold (as described below) to Exploraciones Mineras Del Bajio S.A. de C.V. ("EMBSA"), the original vendor of the property in order to eliminate three underlying royalties from the El Pinguico concession. VanGold has until December 31, 2020 to exercise the Option.

Hernan Dorado, a director of VanGold and Managing Director of EMBSA said "We are very pleased with this Agreement. All of us are working extremely hard toward the success of El Pinguico, and we view that success as just a first step in transforming VanGold into a significant player within the Mexican precious metals mining community."

Upon exercise of the Option, VanGold's Mexican subsidiary, Obras Mineras El Pinguico, S.A de C.V., will own its undivided 100% interest in the El Pinguico silver and gold project free from royalties, save for a 15% net profits royalty in favour of EMBSA solely on the existing above ground and underground stockpiles of mineralized material. There will be no other royalties, net smelter returns or otherwise, on the El Pinguico project including the existing stockpiled material.

Under the Agreement, VanGold has the Option to repurchase the following royalties from EMBSA:

a 4% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) on all ‘broken material' within both the above ground and underground stockpiles;
a 3% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) on all newly established in-situ material discovered on the El Pinguico property; and
a 5% Net Profits Interest (NPI) on all newly established in-situ material discovered on the El Pinguico property.

In order to exercise the Option and re-purchase the above-noted royalties, VanGold has until December 31, 2020 to pay an additional C$1,675,000 cash and issue 3,750,000 units of VanGold ("Units") to EMBSA. An upfront option payment of C$5,000 has been paid to EMBSA with the execution of the Agreement. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") of VanGold. Each Warrant will entitle EMBSA to purchase one additional common share of VanGold at a price of $0.175 within five years of closing.

Hernan Dorado Smith, a director of VanGold is also the Managing Director and a principal shareholder of EMBSA, and as such the Agreement constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). VanGold intends to rely upon exemptions from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation and seek minority shareholder approval for the Agreement on the basis that the fair market value of Mr. Smith's interest in the Option, if exercised, will be less than 25% of VanGold's current market capitalization.

The Agreement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The El Pinguico Project:

El Pinguico is a high-grade gold and silver deposit that was mined from the early 1890s until 1913. Toward the end of that period it was mined exclusively by The Pinguico Mines Company of New York City, whose shares traded on the Boston and New York Stock Exchanges. The mining was done principally from the El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, which are thought to be splays off the Mother Vein, or ‘Veta Madre'.

The Veta Madre is associated with a mega fault that outcrops for 25 kilometres and is the most important source of precious metal mineralization in the region. The Veta Madre may cross VanGold's property at depth, underneath the high grade El Pinguico and El Carmen veins. Very limited drilling has been done on the property and no drilling has attempted to encounter the Veta Madre at depth.

Hernan Dorado Smith, a director of VanGold and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
