FAIRCHILD GOLD CORP ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF TRANSACTION WITH KOBA RESOURCES LTD.
Fairchild Gold Corp.'s previously announced transaction disclosed on Feb. 11, 2025, with Koba Resources Ltd. has successfully completed on March 12, 2025.
Strategic acquisition completed
Having secured all necessary approvals and with all conditions satisfied, the company's transaction with Koba has been completed. Fairchild has begun the process of integrating the extensive database received through this acquisition, which includes thousands of rock and soil samples as well as geophysical surveys.
"This is a significant acquisition for Fairchild," said Luis Martins, chief executive officer of Fairchild Gold. "The completion of this transaction represents an important milestone in our growth strategy and positions us as the dominant claim holder in the historic Goodsprings mining district. The acquired database which covers most of our enlarged and consolidated claim package will allow the company to collapse the time frame it originally anticipated would be required prior to drilling."
Expanded land position
With the completion of this transaction, Fairchild's Copper Chief project now covers a total of 300-plus claims, spanning approximately 6,150 acres in the Goodsprings mining district of Nevada. This substantial land package consolidates a significant portion of this historically productive region.
Data package
Fairchild Gold received a substantial package of historical geological, geochemical and geophysical data from Koba Resources that were summarized in an analyst's publicly disclosed report by Ian Spence of Peloton Capital Pty. Ltd. dated June 7, 2022. These data were originally acquired from work conducted by Koba's predecessor company New World Resources, starting in 2019. This work was conducted by geologists and geophysicists who were qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and Fairchild Gold is confident that this historical work and these historical data and descriptive maps and interpretive summaries are of high quality and are an accurate representation of the work conducted by Koba and New World Resources.
Historic Goodsprings data highlights:
- 1,361 rock samples and 2,653 soil samples;
- Copper assays: up to 25 per cent copper in multiple locations. Confirming Copperside mine anomaly (sample PS0014): top 25 sample average 13.7 per cent;
- Gold assays: up to 151 grams per tonne (sample 2645): top 25 sample average 18.11 ppm (parts per million);
- Silver assays: up to 1,565 g/t (sample 212): top 25 sample average 651.2 ppm;
- Cobalt assays: up to 5.9 per cent (sample PS0004);
- Lead assays: up to 40 per cent (sample RLGS-6);
- Zinc assays: up to 30 per cent (sample 9378);
- Antimony assays: up to 9,104.4 g/t (sample GS09RW-45).
IP/mag surveys:
These data will be carefully analyzed and, in some cases, reprocessed, giving a much more robust basis for preparation of the next exploration steps. Updates will be coming soon.
Next phases of exploration
- Comprehensive review and integration of the newly acquired database;
- Detailed geological mapping and innovative geophysical surveys to rank numerous high-priority targets already identified;
- Targeted drill program.
"We are extremely excited about the potential of the Copper Chief project and the broader Goodsprings district, The historical production in this area only scratched the surface. Modern exploration techniques, combined with our large, consolidated land position and comprehensive database, give us a unique opportunity to unlock substantial value for our shareholders," said Luis Martins (chief executive officer).
The company believes the Goodsprings district has the potential to host a large-scale, district-wide mineral system with multiple deposit types, including:
- High-grade copper-lead-zinc carbonate replacement deposits;
- Structurally controlled precious and PGE (platinum group elements) metal veins;
- Potential for porphyry copper-gold-related mineralization.
Fairchild's strategic position in this historically productive yet underexplored district represents a compelling opportunity to make significant discoveries using modern exploration techniques.
