WEST VAULT MINING GRANTED 1% ROYALTY ON PROSPECTIVE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO HASBROUCK, NEVADA

West Vault Mining Inc. has been granted a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty on claims and other lands owned, leased or to be acquired by the grantor, subject to certain conditions (the SIN claims and area of interest).

In exchange, West Vault has provided the grantor with a copy of West Vault's geological and metallurgical data-set (the "Data-set") on the Tonopah Divide Mining Company property (the "TDMC Property") that lies immediately to the east of West Vault's Hasbrouck Project (red-shaded area in map below). The Data-set will be used by Americas Gold Exploration Inc. ("AGEI"), a related party to the grantor, to explore its recently-leased TDMC Property.

Sandy McVey, CEO, commented,

"West Vault had compiled various geological data-bases covering the TDMC Property in 2018. Providing the Data-set to the grantor should accelerate the exploration of their properties. Exploration success by AEGI on both the TDMC Property and the SIN Claims & Area of Interest may be positive to the Hasbrouck Project, both in terms of the 1% royalty and in terms of demonstrating the prospectivity of lands adjacent to Hasbrouck."
