TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2020 / AurCrest Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “AurCrest“) (TSXV:AGO) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a further 50 claim cell units representing a 2.3km by 4.4km block encompassing approximately 1,010 hectares and named the Ranger East Property, adjacent to its previously acquired Ranger Lake Property. The Ranger Lake Property lies approximately 10 kilometres due east of the Red Lake and Campbell Gold Mines in the world famous Red Lake mining district. The acquisition of these claims brings AurCrest’s holdings in the area to a total of 100 claim cell units encompassing approximately 2,020 hectares.

AurCrest also holds the Richardson Lake Gold Property, located approximately 100 kilometres east-northeast of Red Lake, which included several new gold discoveries through 2012 and 2014 work programs. The Company has optioned the Western Fold Property (See Press Release dated December 24, 20219), a set of claim cells contiguous to the Richardson Lake Gold Property and to the west, to Newrange Gold Corp (“Newrange”) for cash ($30,000 on signing / $70,000 on 1st anniversary / $100,000 on second anniversary) and shares (150,000 Newrange on signing / 350,000 on 1st anniversary / 500,000 on second anniversary) and a 2% NSR (1% of which may be purchased by Newrange for $1,000,000.00 cash payment.).

AurCrest also vended its Confederation Lake belt properties to Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (“Pistol Bay”), for cash and share consideration (See Press Release dated November 16, 2016). In January 2020, Pistol Bay accelerated the exercise of the option and acquired a 100% interest in the properties. This project has recently been the focus of several other companies earning an interest in the claims through option from Pistol Bay.
