VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2021 / Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX:CCM)(OTCQB:CRCUF)(FSE:CAN) reports on recent progress and planned 2021 activities at three of its gold properties optioned out to third parties. The option agreement terms typically include minimum annual property expenditures, cash payments, share payments, and NSR royalties. The portfolio of marketable securities received from optionees thus far has already created significant value for Canagold.

  • In 2020, Getchell completed an initial drill program of 1,995 meters with positive results and the new geological information led to the recently released update of the mineralization model.

Princeton Property, British Columbia - Damara Gold Corp.

  • Canagold assigned its right to earn up to a 75% interest in the Princeton property from Universal Copper and Sydney Wilson to Damara Gold Corp.
  • Damara recently completed a drill program of 533 meters in 9 holes and announced high grade gold intercepts in the main vein on the property.
  • Damara issued Canagold 9.9% of the outstanding common shares of Damara and has taken all necessary steps to exercise the underlying option to acquire the Princeton Property.
  • If Damara holds its interest in the Princeton Property until December 31, 2021, Damara will issue additional Damara Shares to increase the Company's ownership in Damara to 19.9% of the outstanding Damara Shares.

The Company remains primarily focused on advancing its 100% owned New Polaris gold mine project in BC where a 47-hole, 24,000 meter drilling program will commence in May. In addition to New Polaris, Canagold holds numerous gold exploration properties some of which are available for option.
