MONTREAL, June 3, 2024 /CNW/ - AMSECO EXPLORATION LTD. (TSXV: AEL.H) ("Amseco"), a mineral exploration company listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated December 19, 2023 it has entered into a share exchange agreement with Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. ("Canadian Gold") and the shareholders of Canadian Gold (the "Canadian Gold Shareholders"), dated May 31, 2024 (the "Agreement") in respect of a proposed share acquisition of Canadian Gold (the "Transaction"). It is anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will constitute a "Reverse Takeover" of Amseco in accordance with Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers of the Exchange and is considered an arm's length transaction. All currency references herein are in Canadian currency unless otherwise specified.


About Canadian Gold

Canadian Gold is a private company existing under the laws of Canada with gold projects in the Gaspé gold belt in the Province of Québec. Immediately prior to closing of the Transaction, Canadian Gold shall have 20,000,000 common shares (the "Canadian Gold Shares") outstanding, excluding any securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing (as defined herein).


Canadian Gold's material asset consists of its 100% interest in three gold exploration projects: (i) the Lac Arsenault property; (ii) the VG Boulder Property, and (iii) the Robidoux property (collectively, the "Properties") along the Grand Pabos Fault on the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec. Gold mineralization in the region is known to be hosted by structures related to the Grand Pabos Fault, a major regional structure that can be traced across the entire Gaspe Peninsula and into Newfoundland where major gold discoveries have been made recently. Canadian Gold holds the Robidoux property (1,940 hectares), the VG Boulder property (5,787 hectares), and the Lac Arsenault property (4,118 hectares. The Properties combine to cover 34km along the Grand Pabos Fault system, gold is associated with major structural systems such as strike-slip faults, breccia zones, and swarm structures.


Canadian Gold considers only the Lac Arsenault property to be material in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standard of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Subject to confirmation from the Exchange, concurrent with the completion of the Transaction and the listing of common shares of the resulting entity (the "Resulting Issuer") on the Exchange, the Resulting Issuer will file a technical report in accordance with NI 43-101 for the Lac Arsenault property.


The Properties are located in the province of Québec, Gaspé Peninsula, southwest of Gaspé Municipality accessible by logging road approximately twenty-five kilometers north of the village of Paspebiac. They are situated in a sequence of Palaeozoic (Era) metasedimentary rocks, located near the eastern end of the Aroostook-Matapedia Anticlinorium a major structural unit of the Appalachians that extends from Matapedia to Percé in Quebec. Mineralization occurs within the Honorat Group rocks, is vein type, characterized by brittle deformation and occurs in competent Ordovician (Period) Honorat Group sandstones and greywackes.

Lac Arsenault


In 1946 Walter Baker, a prospector, discovered boulders containing gold, silver and the sulphides sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and pyrite. This property was explored by Imperial & Esso Minerals in the mid 1970's who identified 40,000 tonnes at 15.43 g/t Au, 197.00 g/t Ag, 6.6% Pb, and 3.5% Zn in three veins exposed on surface (Baker vein, Mersereau vein, and L4W vein) (this estimate is historical and has not been verified – it is not NI 43-101 compliant –additional work is required to confirm this estimate). Historic assays of up to 1.4 oz Au/ton and 25 oz Ag/ton have been recorded. Base metal ranges from traces up to 15 percent combined Pb-Zn. Best results include 32.83 g/t Au over 0.27 m at the Baker vein. Best results from the southern part of the L4W vein include 13.5 g/t Au over 0.75m. Best results at the Mersereau vein include 39.7 g/t Au on surface. In 1986 an exploration program discovered a new Au bearing zone, Marleau vein, with an assay of 0.36 oz Au/t over 5.2 feet. The Lac Arsenault property has 93 historic drill holes totaling 7269.41m.

Recent News Releases

October 27, 2025
Dieppe, N.B. – October 27, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the required permits to commence drilling at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Gold Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. The maiden drill program, expected to commence on or around November 17, 2025, will consist of a minimum of 36 drill holes totaling approximately 3,000 metres. The objectives of the program include: Establishing a modern, NI 43-101-compliant database of assay and QA/QC results to validate and advance the historical resource model at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein. Historical drilling outlined near-surface gold mineralization but pre-dates current reporting standards. The new program will twin select holes and complete step-out drilling to confirm grades, continuity, and data quality in support of a potential NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Enhancing geological understanding of grade distribution and mineralized continuity by refining the structural and lithological controls on gold mineralization at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein. Drilling will test lateral and vertical extensions of mineralized zones, assess alteration patterns, and strengthen the geological model to support future resource estimation and targeting. Testing the strike and vertical extent of known gold-bearing structures using results from the recent induced polarization (IP) survey and geophysics work to refine drill targeting. The data will guide step-out and deeper drilling aimed at extending mineralization and identifying additional zones along strike and at depth. Management Commentary "Our team is excited to advance the Lac Arsenault property through its first modern drill campaign," said Ronald Goguen, President and CEO of Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. "This program represents an important milestone in confirming historical mineralization and defining the broader exploration potential of this high-grade, unexplored gold system." Canadian Gold anticipates the potential to expand the program with additional metres and drill holes as new targets are identified. These targets are being refined using data from an ongoing induced polarization (IP) survey conducted in conjunction with existing aeromagnetic (Mag) data, designed to highlight high-priority anomalies across the project area. About the Lac Arsenault Project The Lac Arsenault Property, located in Québec's Gaspé region, lies along the Grand Pabos Fault within the Gaspé-Newfoundland tectonic belt. This structure shares geological characteristics with prolific gold-bearing systems such as the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone in Abitibi and the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Newfoundland. The property hosts several high-grade, epithermal-style vein systems, including the Baker, Mersereau, and Dunning veins, with historical exploration outlining significant gold-silver-base metal mineralization that provides a strong platform for the Company's current work. Covering more than 3,600 hectares, Lac Arsenault is strategically located near tidewater at New Richmond, Québec, offering excellent road, power, and rail infrastructure within one of Canada's most established mining jurisdictions. Historical Resource Estimate Disclosure (NI 43-101 2.4) Stevenson, L. (1975): 40,000 tonnes grading 15.43 g/t Au and 197 g/t Ag (Esso Minerals Canada). Côté, R. (1996): 199,580 tonnes grading 9.59 g/t Au (~61,536 contained oz Au). These historical estimates predate NI 43-101 and were based on sampling, trenching, and drilling using manual polygonal methods. A Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the estimates as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company is not treating them as current and further verification is required. These historical estimates pre-date the adoption of current CIM Definition Standards (2014) and therefore cannot be directly compared to modern resource categories (i.e., "Inferred," "Indicated," or "Measured"). The terminology and estimation methodologies used at the time are not compliant with current CIM categories, and no classification equivalence is implied. The Company considers these historical estimates to be relevant, as they demonstrate the presence of significant gold and silver mineralization at shallow depths within the Baker and Mersereau vein systems, which remain priority targets for verification and expansion. However, their reliability is uncertain because the underlying data, methods, and QA/QC procedures are not adequately documented to current standards. The Company is not treating the estimate as current. To the Company's knowledge, there are no more recent mineral resource estimates available for the Lac Arsenault Property that would supersede these historical figures. To bring these into compliance, Canadian Gold plans to: Conduct systematic drilling to confirm grades and geometry; Complete verification sampling and density determinations; Build a validated geological model with modern QA/QC protocols; Commission an independent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. Qualified Person Statement: The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mark Smethurst, P.Geo., Director of Canadian Gold and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101

Dieppe, N.B. – September 16, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has engaged Geophysique TMC to conduct an induced polarization ("IP") survey at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property, located in the Gaspé region of Québec. The survey is intended to enhance the Company's understanding of the structures that control three key mineralized zones - the Baker Vein, the Mersereau Vein, and the Type-4 Vein - and to help identify high-priority targets for future drill programs. These three veins host the historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates previously reported for the Lac Arsenault Property (please see Historical Resource Estimate Disclosure (NI 43-101 2.4), below). The data from the IP survey will be integrated into Canadian Gold's expanding exploration dataset, which already incorporates recent surface sampling results. Mechanical trenching and sampling along the Baker and Mersereau veins returned very high grades from surface exposures, including 28.9 g/t gold and 306 g/t silver (BVA2025-004) and 22.9 g/t gold and 399 g/t silver. Complementing this, airborne magnetic survey work at Lac Arsenault has outlined major fault structures, including the Grand Pabos Fault, together with newly recognized splays and secondary structures interpreted to be important controls on the emplacement of gold-silver-lead mineralization. Together, these results are sharpening Canadian Gold's exploration focus on high-priority targets while reinforcing the broader discovery potential across the Lac Arsenault property. Management Commentary "The initiation of this IP survey represents another important step in uncovering the value of our Lac Arsenault property by refining and prioritizing targets for the upcoming maiden diamond drill program," stated Ronald Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold. "By applying modern geophysical techniques, we aim to validate historical results and further sharpen our understanding of the Baker, Mersereau, and Type-4 veins." An IP survey is a geophysical technique used to measure the electrical chargeability and resistivity of subsurface materials. In exploration settings, this method can detect disseminated sulphide mineralization associated with gold and base metal systems. By mapping variations in chargeability and resistivity across the target area, the survey provides a powerful tool to refine drill targets, prioritize anomalies, and strengthen the Company's exploration model. About the Lac Arsenault Project The Lac Arsenault Property is located in Québec's Gaspé region along the Grand Pabos Fault, part of the Gaspé-Newfoundland tectonic belt. This structure shares geological characteristics with prolific gold-bearing systems such as the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone in Abitibi and the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Newfoundland. The property hosts multiple high-grade, epithermal-style vein systems, including the Baker, Mersereau, and Dunning veins.

Dieppe, N.B. – September 10, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an update on its exploration and development activities at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property located in the Gaspé region of Québec. The Company is also announcing the resignation of Ken Booth from the Board of Directors. Applications Submitted for Lac Arsenault Maiden Drill Program Canadian Gold has submitted permit applications to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) for its maiden diamond drilling program on the Lac Arsenault Property. The proposed program comprises 36 drill holes totalling approximately 2,345 metres, with expected drilling to begin upon permit approval. The objective of the drill program is to take the extensive historical work completed at Lac Arsenault and advance it to modern reporting standards under National Instrument 43-101. Historical work at Lac Arsenault (1975–1996) outlined non-compliant resource estimates ranging from 40,000 tonnes at 15.43 g/t Au and 197 g/t Ag to approximately 200,000 tonnes averaging 9.59 g/t Au (~61,500 oz Au). These estimates predate NI 43-101 and cannot be relied upon as current resources, but they highlight the project’s long-recognized high-grade potential. Through the upcoming drill program, Canadian Gold intends to: Twin and verify historical drill holes and channel samples to confirm grades and geometry; Apply modern QA/QC protocols to establish reliability of the data; Generate sufficient new drilling data to support an independent mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards; Convert these historical estimates into a current, compliant mineral resource that can be reported to the market, forming a strong foundation for future project development and valuation. Management Commentary "The submission of our first drill permit applications marks an important milestone as we move toward validating the historic high-grade results at Lac Arsenault and establishing an NI 43-101 compliant resource base,” stated Ronald Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold. “We believe Lac Arsenault represents a rare opportunity in Québec, one of the world’s most proven mining jurisdictions: a project with extensive historical work, strong high-grade potential, and excellent infrastructure. By applying modern exploration standards, we are committed to unlocking this value responsibly while engaging transparently with Québec regulators and local First Nations communities.” Update on Bulk Sampling Program On July 15, 2025, Canadian Gold announced that it had received permits from the Government of Québec to proceed with a 5,000-tonne bulk sampling program, conditional upon the completion of three shallow water monitoring wells in the vicinity of the proposed sampling area ( See July 9, 2025 press release ) and an Autorisation pour travaux à impacts (ATI) report. The Company is ready to drill these wells immediately; however, the Québec’s Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) has since requested that Canadian Gold temporarily pause while it seeks additional input from another First Nations community, located approximately 18 kilometres from the proposed bulk sampling site. Canadian Gold has already engaged with the Gesgapegiag First Nation community, which is domiciled within the project area, providing full details of the program and receiving no opposition during the allotted feedback period. In compliance with the ATI requirements, the Company is now re-engaging with the Mi'gmawei Mawio’mi Secretariat (MMS), the political and tribal council representing the three Mi'gmaq First Nations in the Gaspé region, to ensure transparency and comply with ATI. In parallel, Canadian Gold continues to work closely with the MRNF to finalize the process and is scheduled to meet jointly with the MMS and MRNF on September 11, 2025, regarding the ATI. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material delay to the commencement of the bulk sampling program. Board Resignation Mr. Ken Booth has resigned as a Director of Canadian Gold, effective immediately, to focus on other professional commitments. The Board thanks Mr. Booth for his valued contributions since the Company’s inception and wishes him every success in his future endeavours. About the Lac Arsenault Project The Lac Arsenault Property is located in Québec’s Gaspé region along the Grand Pabos Fault, part of the Gaspé–Newfoundland tectonic belt. This structure shares geological characteristics with prolific gold-bearing systems such as the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone in Abitibi and the Cape Ray–Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Newfoundland. The property hosts multiple high-grade, epithermal-style vein systems, including the Baker, Mersereau, and Dunning veins. Historical exploration outlined significant gold-silver-base metal mineralization, providing a strong foundation for the Company’s current work. Historical Resource Estimate Disclosure (NI 43-101 2.4) Stevenson, L. (1975): 40,000 tonnes grading 15.43 g/t Au and 197 g/t Ag (Esso Minerals Canada). Côté, R. (1996): 199,580 tonnes grading 9.59 g/t Au (~61,536 contained oz Au). These historical estimates predate NI 43-101 and were based on sampling, trenching, and drilling using manual polygonal methods. A Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the estimates as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company is not treating them as current and further verification is required. To bring these into compliance, Canadian Gold plans to: Conduct systematic drilling to confirm grades and geometry; Complete verification sampling and density determinations; Build a validated geological model with modern QA/QC protocols; Commission an independent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
