Golden Spike Acquires 100% of Golden Horizon Exploration Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2022 / Golden Spike Resources Corp. (CSE:GLDS) ("Golden Spike" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release on June 17, 2022, it has entered into an amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") with Golden Horizon Exploration Corp. ("Horizon") and 1368617 B.C. Ltd. ("Subco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated solely for the purposes of the transaction, in order to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Horizon (the "Transaction"). Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company will have the option, through Golden Horizon, to acquire 100% of the interest in the Gregory River Property, a mineral exploration property located on the western portion of the island of Newfoundland (the "Gregory River Property" or the "Property"), subject to a 2% net smelter royalty.

Transaction Summary

The Transaction is structured as a three-cornered amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA"), pursuant to which Subco will amalgamate with Horizon and continue as one corporation under the BCBCA ("Amalco"), with the result that Amalco will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Each holder (each a " Horizon Shareholder") of common shares in the capital of Horizon (each a "Horizon Share"), other than a Horizon Shareholder who exercised Dissent Rights (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) will receive one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Golden Spike Share") in exchange for each Horizon Share held by such Horizon Shareholder, resulting in the Company issuing up to an aggregate of 11,300,000 Golden Spike Shares (which will represent approximately 35.76% of the issued and outstanding Golden Spike Shares). Additionally, the holders of common share purchase warrants of Horizon will be entitled to receive Golden Spike Shares, instead of Horizon Shares, on the exercise of their warrants (subject to the execution of an agreement by each such warrant holder and the Company, in accordance with the adjustments provisions of such warrants).

Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that all of the existing board of directors of the Company will remain in place.

Golden Spike CEO Keith Anderson commented, "We are very excited to have proceeded with the Amalgamation Agreement with Golden Horizon resulting in an option to purchase a 100% interest in its Gregory River Property, a mineral exploration property located in a very prospective mineral belt in one of the more favourable jurisdictions worldwide. Many parts of Newfoundland, including the Gregory River Property still remain relatively underexplored and offer an exciting opportunity for new discoveries. In addition, the province offers a favorable regulatory environment and supportive communities with near year-round operating conditions and excellent nearby infrastructure. We look forward to planning an exploration program on the Gregory River Property in the near future and look forward to providing updates to our Golden Spike shareholders."

Conditions and Timing

The Transaction is currently expected to close shortly and is subject to a number of closing conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations by each of the Company and Golden Horizon; (ii) approval of the shareholders of Golden Horizon; (iii) receipt of all requisite regulatory and third party approvals; and (iv) the Gregory River Option Agreement (as defined below) being in good standing, together with other standard closing conditions. The Transaction cannot close until all of the conditions are satisfied or waived. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed in the Amalgamation Agreement or at all.

A subsequent news release will be disseminated upon completion of the Transaction.

Gregory River Property

Pursuant to the terms of a mineral property option agreement dated October 14, 2021 (the "Gregory River Option Agreement") among Golden Horizon, as optionee, and certain optionors of the Property (the "Optionors"), Golden Horizon holds the right to acquire 100% of the registered and beneficial right, title and interest in and to the Gregory River property free and clear of all liens, security interests, mortgages, charges, encumbrances or other claims of any third party, except for a 2% net smelter returns royalty to be retained by the Optionors. The Gregory River Property is comprised of 124 claims under 15 mineral licences, covering 3,100 hectares or 7,660 acres. The Property is located on the western portion of the island of Newfoundland, approximately 14 Kilometres ("km") south of the community of Trout River and 40 km northwest of Corner Brook.

The Gregory River Property is situated within the Bay of Islands Ophiolite Complex of rocks. The package consists of a sequence of faulted and moderately deformed ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks, sheeted diabase dikes, basaltic pillow lavas, and narrow zones of sedimentary rocks.

Historical work on the Property has identified numerous high priority gold and base metal anomalies and untested targets within the claim package that can be intermittently traced within the Property for approximately 12 km along a north-northeast trend. Based on the historical work, the Property has the potential to host multiple known deposit types and styles of mineralization, including: 1. Copper-rich, Cyprus style - volcanic massive sulfides or VMS, 2. Stratigraphic gold-rich exhalative zones, 3. Structurally-controlled gold and sulfide-rich quartz lode veining, and 4. Low sulphidation epithermal gold style deposits.

The style of mineralization and geological setting identified at the Gregory River Property is highly analogous, and along a north-northwest trend to the York Harbor Metals Inc. copper and zinc-rich VMS mineralization that occurs approximately 37 km to the south, within the southern portion of Bay of Islands Ophiolite Complex of rocks.
