(via TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - July 6, 2026 – Majestic Gold Corp. (TSX.V: MJS, FSE: A0BK1D) (the “Company ”) is pleased to announce that, through Persistence Gold Group Ltd. (“Persistence Gold”), its 58.75%-held subsidiary, it has entered into an investor agreement with GoldStone Resources Limited (“GoldStone”), a company incorporated in Jersey with limited liability and listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
Pursuant to the investor agreement, Persistence Gold Group Ltd. has agreed to acquire 351,594,899 ordinary shares of GoldStone at a price of £0.01 per share for total consideration of £3,515,948.99 (approximately CAD$6,668,068), representing an approximately 20.96% equity interest in GoldStone following completion of the investment. In connection with the investment, Persistence Gold will have the right to nominate one representative to the board of directors of GoldStone, for so long as the Persistence Gold retains an interest of 15% or more in the GoldStone’s ordinary Shares.
The investment represents Majestic’s first strategic investment outside of China and is consistent with the Company’s strategy of evaluating opportunities to diversify its asset base and gain exposure to mining and exploration opportunities in additional jurisdictions. The board of directors of the Company believes that GoldStone has potential for further development and that the investment provides an opportunity to expand the Company’s exposure to gold resources, diversify its operations and participate in mining exploration and development in Africa.
GoldStone is a mining and exploration company focused on the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana, West Africa. GoldStone’s primary assets include the Homase Gold Mine and the Akrokeri Underground Gold Mine, which are situated approximately 20 kilometres along strike north of the Obuasi Gold Mine (a third-party mine), as well as having entered into a binding MoU to acquire a 50% interest in a gold project in Sierra Leone, located adjacent to the Boamuhun Gold Mine (a third-party mine).
The Homase Mine is currently an operating open-pit mine exploiting the oxide portion of the deposit using heap leach processing. Based on GoldStone’s public disclosure, the Homase Mine has a combined measured, indicated and inferred JORC-compliant resource of approximately 10.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.77 g/t gold, representing approximately 600,000 ounces of gold. Mineral Resources have an effective date of October 30, 2012. The Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Resource estimate is Mr. Andrew Netherwood (AusIMM) and Simon Meadows Smith (IOM3).
The Akrokeri Mine was historically operated as a high-grade underground mine and produced approximately 75,000 ounces of gold at a recovered average grade of approximately 24 g/t gold before operations ceased in 1909. The Homase and Akrokeri licences contain approximately 4.4 kilometres of identified mineralized strike length, with additional parallel gold-bearing structures identified through historical drilling. These additional targets remain underexplored, with the most recent drilling completed in 2012.
The proceeds from the investment are expected to be used by GoldStone for the further advancement of the Homase Mine, including drilling below and around the Homase Mine with the objective of upgrading the project’s resource base and commencing a feasibility study in respect of the potential exploitation of sulphide ore.
