GENERATION GOLD ACQUIRES BALTHAZAR PROPERTY
Generation Gold Corp. has acquired the Balthazar property,
directly east of the Arlington property in British Columbia.
The Balthazar property is one mineral claim (619.39 hectares) in the Cretaceous Ladybird and
Valhalla intrusions of the Okanagan batholith. The property hosts a regional geochemical
survey silt sample on the western side that returned over the 97th percentile for molybdenum
and over the 78th percentile for gold.
Anthony Zelen, chief executive officer of Generation, stated: "This acquisition represents a natural extension of
the Arlington property. The high values of molybdenum and gold represent an underexplored
target that samples the centre of the property. The recent logging on the property will enhance
our exploration team's abilities to discover the source of these elevated numbers."
The regional geochemical survey government database stores and manages geochemical
data collected by the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada
and Geoscience B.C. It was compiled from 116 original sources with 65,000 samples and
roughly five million determinations analyzed using 18 methods in 18 laboratories. This regional
geochemical survey database provides a solution for consistent, standardized and long-term
data storage, and for timely data update and regular data release.
Terms of the acquisition
Pursuant to the agreement, the company will acquire 100 per cent of the beneficial interest in the
mineral titles comprising the property. In exchange for its acquisition, the company will issue
an aggregate of four million common shares in the capital of the company to the vendors.
Option issuance
The company has granted an aggregate of 1.1 million stock options to certain
directors, officers and consultants of the company. Each option confers the right to purchase
one common share at an exercise price of eight cents per common share until Oct. 3,
2025. All options are fully vested immediately upon grant.
Of the options granted, 650,000 options were granted to directors or officers of the company.
The company relied on Section 5.5(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101) as the exemption from the formal
valuation requirements of MI 61-101 and Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from
the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the options granted to the directors
and officers of the company, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the
fair market value of the consideration for, the options granted to the directors and officers of
the company exceeded 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not
file a material change report at least 21 days prior to the grant of options to ensure the
company was able to grant the options in an expedient manner.

43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral projects, has reviewed the scientific information
that forms the basis for this news release, and has approved the disclosure herein. Mr.
