AMERICAN EAGLE TO SELL NON-CORE ROYALTY IN CONNECTION WITH SHARE REPURCHASE AND RETIREMENT

American Eagle Gold Corp. has entered into a definitive agreement with Precious Earth Resources Inc. to sell a portion of a net smelter return (NSR) royalty of the Kuta Ridge project in Papua New Guinea in exchange for 500,000 common shares of the company.

Highlights:

• American Eagle to sell two-thirds of the 3-per-cent NSR royalty it holds in the Kuta Ridge gold project in exchange for 500,000 shares of American Eagle, which will be extinguished;
• American Eagle Gold will retain a 1-per-cent NSR royalty in the Kuta Ridge gold project;
• Kuta Ridge is located within a highly prospective gold belt in Papua New Guinea, close to Barrick's Porgera mine and K92's Kainantu mine.

American Eagle presently holds a 3-per-cent NSR royalty on the Kuta Ridge project in Papua New Guinea. Under the terms of the agreement, upon American Eagle's repurchase of the consideration shares, Precious Earth will reduce the existing NSR royalty to 1 per cent. The remaining NSR royalty will no longer be subject to any buyback rights held by Precious Earth, thereby allowing American Eagle to preserve a meaningful interest in a prospective project while streamlining its royalty profile. Immediately following the completion of the transaction, American Eagle will retire and cancel the consideration shares, reducing its overall issued and outstanding shares.

"By monetizing a non-core asset, the company has co-ordinated a shareholder-friendly transaction and reduced its share count, a modest achievement within the junior mining sector," said Anthony Moreau, chief executive officer of American Eagle. "American Eagle retains a 1.0-per-cent NSR on a promising project within a highly gold-rich belt, positioning us to benefit from any future development success. We wish Charles Beaudry and the Pacific Precious team the best of luck in their upcoming exploration season."

The agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada. In connection with the repurchase of the consideration shares, the Ontario Securities Commission has granted American Eagle exemptive relief from the issuer bid requirements under Part 2 of National Instrument 62-104, Take Over Bids and Issuer Bids. This exemptive relief will facilitate the intended share repurchase under the terms of the transaction while ensuring compliance with applicable securities laws. Pursuant to the terms of the exemptive relief granted, closing the transaction will occur in five business days.

About American Eagle's Nak project

The Nak project lies within the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of central British Columbia. It has excellent infrastructure through all-season roads and is close to the towns of Smithers, Houston and Burns Lake, B.C., which lie along a major rail line and Provincial Highway 16. Historical drilling and geophysical, geological and geochemical work at Nak, which began in the 1960s, tested only to shallow depths. Still, the work revealed a very large near-surface copper-gold system that measures over 1.5 kilometres by 1.5 kilometres. Drilling completed by American Eagle in 2022, 2023 and 2024 returned significant intervals of high-grade copper-gold mineralization that reached beyond and much deeper than the historical drilling, indicating that zones of near-surface and deeper mineralization, locally with considerably higher grades, exist within the broader Nak property mineralizing system.

About American Eagle Gold Corp.

American Eagle is dedicated to advancing its Nak copper-gold porphyry project in western-central British Columbia, Canada. The company benefits from over $37-million in cash, bolstered by two strategic investors formed in the past two years with Teck Resources and South32. With substantial financial and technical resources, American Eagle Gold is well positioned to drill, derisk and define the full potential of the Nak copper-gold porphyry project.
