Vancouver, British Columbia, February 19, 2015, Klondike Gold Corp. (TSX.V:KG) (“Klondike Gold” or the “Company”) announces receipt of final payment of cash and shares pertaining to the disposition of five gold exploration permits covering 600 square kilometers in northern Portugal to Medgold Resources Corp. (“Medgold”) as per the Definitive Agreement between the companies (see news releases dated December 11, 2013 and January 30, 2014).
Klondike Gold has received a final cash payment of $100,000 and an additional 2,347,418 common shares of Medgold. These shares have a resale restriction until June 14, 2015 as per TSXV policy. Klondike Gold retains a 2% NSR on the exploration permits which may be repurchased for $1.0 million per percentage point. Klondike Gold’s holding in Medgold now totals over 3.1 million common shares.
Peter Tallman, President and CEO of Klondike states “Klondike has divested its interests in Portugal in return for cash plus a meaningful share position in Medgold while retaining a royalty interest. This strategy allows Klondike Gold shareholders indirect participation in a portfolio of prospective European mineral properties while keeping the Company’s financial focus on its core Yukon assets.”
