Bradford Cooke has Destroyed 98% of the Value at Canagold Resources Ltd Since 1994; Sun Valley Asks How Much Lower Can it Go Before There's a Change? Quick Math Suggests 2%

Sunvalley Company DMCC (“Sun Valley”), a strategic and long-term focused investor of Canagold Resources Ltd (TSX: CCM) (“Canagold”), urges shareholders to stop the value destruction at Canagold by Bradford Cooke and the currently entrenched board of directors (the “Board”) and vote only the BLUE proxy FOR Sun Valley’s nominees at Canagold’s upcoming annual and special meeting on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 (the “Meeting”).

Bradford Cooke and the Board are ignoring their fiduciary duties, and instead, are focusing on spinning more falsehoods to continue their entrenchment. They cannot hide any longer. Canagold’s latest trick is to deny the existence of a PREMIUM financing offer, which was provided by Sun Valley in writing, all while the next day, Mr. Cooke bought shares of Canagold. Canagold also misled to their shareholders by saying Sun Valley’s offer was at a discount to previous prices. The fact is Sun Valley’s offer was at a 20% premium above market price or at a 60% premium on a flow-through basis. Shareholders deserve to know the truth.

We now have a simple question for Mr. Cooke and the Board. With Sun Valley’s PREMIUM financing offer on the table, which can help move Canagold forward, will you publicly confirm that you will not do a financing below our offer or encumber shareholder value with another royalty financing? Shareholders deserve a response and need to know your motivation.
