HIGHBANK RECEIVES ACCEPTANCE OF OPTION AGREEMENT ON TERRA NOVA PROPERTY, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

Further to its news release of Nov. 10, 2023, and Dec. 18, 2023, Highbank Resources Ltd. has received TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the property option agreement with an arm's-length party on the Terra Nova property in central Newfoundland. The property comprises six licences totalling 68 claims.

The property is located 30 kilometres northwest of Port Blandford in central Newfoundland. Access is from the town of Terra Nova through 12 kilometres of transmission line road built for the Lower Churchill Falls power development. Additional trail and road development was completed in 2022/2023 to provide better access to mineralized showings.

The property lies within the Gander zone, which is an area of significant exploration interest as a result of Newfound Gold's Queensway gold project. Terra Nova is an interesting property as it has a large alteration area of 12 square kilometres, which, to date, has been subjected to limited exploration. The property is considered to have potential to host mesothermal gold-polymetallic deposits. Further information can be reviewed on Highbank's website.

Terms of the option agreement to acquire a 100-per-cent interest include a cash payment of $15,000 on or before Oct. 1, 2024, and the issuance of a total of 500,000 common shares in two payments; and it is subject to a 2-per-cent net smelter return royalty in favour of the vendors, with the company having an option to purchase one-half of the net smelter return royalty (1 per cent) in consideration for $1-million paid to the vendors.

The first payment of 250,000 common shares will be issued immediately and will have a hold period of four months plus one day expiring April 30, 2024.
