HIGH TIDE RESOURCES ACQUIRES LAC PEGMA COPPER-NICKEL-COBALT SULPHIDE DEPOSIT NEAR FERMONT, QUEBEC

Avidian Gold Corp.'s majority-controlled private subsidiary, High Tide Resources Corp., has entered into a purchase agreement with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. to purchase 100 per cent of the Lac Pegma copper-nickel-cobalt sulphide deposit located approximately 50 kilometres south of Fermont, Que.

High Tide's president and vice-president of exploration, Steve Roebuck, stated: "Copper-nickel-cobalt sulphide deposits are key to low-carbon technology and are highly sought after. We are very pleased to add Lac Pegma to the company's portfolio of high-quality projects in the southern Labrador Trough area of Quebec and Labrador. Metals required for clean energy applications are becoming very important in the new economy, and we think that Lac Pegma has great exploration potential with the ability to become an important project in this space. The property is bisected by a major Hydro Quebec electrical transmission line, which provides overland access and very interesting green-focused, low-carbon development scenarios."

The last exploration program completed on Lac Pegma was by Diadem Resources in 1996, drilling 84 short BQ-diameter diamond drill holes totalling a reported 5,248 metres. In a report filed on Quebec's MERN website (GM54771) in May, 1997, Diadem Resources reported a non-National Instrument 43-101-compliant indicated reserve of two million tonnes of 0.62 per cent copper, 0.35 per cent nickel and 0.03 per cent cobalt. The Lac Pegma deposit was not assayed for platinum or palladium, which are elements commonly found in this type of sulphide deposit.

The terms of the purchase agreement are as follows: The company will pay Globex $10,000 in cash and issue 650,000 shares of High Tide at the time of the company's initial public offering/liquidity event expected before Sept. 30, 2021, at the time of the company going public. In addition, Globex will retain a 2-per-cent gross metal royalty (GMR) with a 1-per-cent buyback option for $1.5-million exercisable at any time at the discretion of the company.
