URAGOLD AND FANCAMP SIGN A LETTER OF INTENT REGARDING THE ACQUISITION OF 32 CLAIMS COVERING THE SECTION OF THE 6.5 KM LONG HISTORICAL BEAUCE PALEOPLACER GOLD CHANNEL NOT OWNED BY URAGOLD

Uragold Bay Resources Inc. has signed a letter of intent with Fancamp Exploration Ltd. regarding the acquisition of 32 claims encircling Uragold's Beauce placer gold project located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec.

Uragold's current Beauce paleoplacer project, five claims situated between the Rang Chaussegros and the Rang Gustave, covers only 26 per cent of the entire historical paleoplacer gold channel. When the transaction closes, Uragold's claims block will cover the full 6.5-kilometre-long historical Paleoplacer gold channel.

In 1959, the Beauce Placer Gold Mining Company defined a drilled historical resource of 168,952 Au ounces (12,978,710 cubic metres at 0.405 gram per cubic metre) (June, 1959 -- GM08785) on a channel defined as ranging from Rang St-Charles through to Rang Delery, Rang Chaussegros, Rang St-Gustave all the way to Rang 6 (V. Stuart-Williams, Beauce Placer property NI 43-101 technical report, February, 2014). All information such as resources estimates and grades herewith presented is historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained before the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 and as such does not meet National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. The historical estimate should not be relied upon until the company can confirm them.

Studies by Uragold of the auriferous basal till and the underlying saprolite suggest a close proximity source of gold, and since the acquired claims cover an extensive area of the Gilbert river valley this increases the chances that the unknown Bellechasse/Timmins-type deposit mentioned in the company's March 27, 2014, press release will be found on Uragold claims.

Salient points of the non-binding letter of intent are:

  1. Uragold and Fancamp intend to enter into a definitive written agreement for the acquisition by Uragold of a 32-claim block contained in the Appalachian properties that surrounded the Uragold Beauce property within 30 days.
    1. As consideration for the transfer and the sale of the claims and related assets to Uragold, Uragold will issue, at the closing an amount equal to eight million Uragold units. Each unit will comprise one common share and one common share purchase warrant of Uragold.
    2. Each full warrant will entitle Fancamp to purchase one common share of the capital stock during a period of 60 months from the date of the issuance of the units. Each warrant shall entitle Fancamp to purchase one additional common share of Uragold at a price of 20 cents per share during the first 24 months from the date of issuance of the units, at a price of 30 cents from the start of the 25th month until the end of the 48th month, and at a price of 40 cents per share at the start of the 49th month until the end of the 60th month.
  2. Contemporaneously with the signing of the definitive agreement:
    1. Uragold will make a cash payment of $25,000 to Fancamp within six months of the signature of the definitive agreement.
    2. Uragold will finance $400,000 worth of exploration work on the claims over the next four years, under the following schedule, year one: $50,000, year two: $75,000, year three: $100,000 and year four: $175,000.
    3. Uragold will grant Fancamp a 3.5-per-cent gross metal royalty on any gold production extracted from the 32-claim block acquired by Uragold.
  3. Fancamp and Uragold will sign a covenant regarding the sale of Uragold shares held by Fancamp.
    1. Included in the covenant will be a standstill agreement whereby Fancamp agrees not to sell any of its Uragold shares during a 12-month period starting on the day of the issuance of the Uragold units to Fancamp.
    2. The covenant will also include a change of control clause whereby in the event that a change of control event occurs at Fancamp, then either the standstill period will be automatically increased by 36 months or a new 36-month standstill period will start.
    3. Included in the covenant will be a vote with management clause whereby Fancamp agrees to votes all of its shares proxy in favour of Uragold management.
  4. Once gold mining operations have begun on the claims purchased, Uragold will make a one-off cash payment of $500,000 to Fancamp.

Both parties are actively working to finalize the definitive written agreement by end of next week, once both parties obtain final board approval. The transaction is also subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
