The Rodeo Creek Claims

The Property consists of 31 unpatented mining claims acquired by Ely Gold in September 2018, through staking (see Figure #1). The Property is contiguous to the currently producing South Arturo Mine land package. South Arturo is a joint-venture between Premier and Barrick Gold Corporation, referred to as the Barrick/Dee JV. South Arturo and the Rodeo Creek Claims are part of the historic Dee mining claims approximately 25 miles northwest of the town of Carlin. They are within the Bootstrap mining district at the northern area of the Carlin Trend. The Bootstrap mining district includes the Tara, Bootstrap, Capstone, Dee and Storm gold mines. Prior to staking by Ely Gold, the Property had title issues which may have restricted the ability of other companies to purchase the Property. The Agreement also includes Nevada Select's proprietary database for the Property.

Trey Wasser, Ely Gold's President and CEO commented: "We are pleased to assist Premier in the consolidation of their South Arturo property. Ely Gold's successful royalty business model has allowed it to assist a number of mining companies in the consolidation of fragmented claim packages critical to future exploration and development. In the case of South Arturo, Ely Gold was able to assist in consolidating the claim package due to its unique knowledge of the historic claims and the previous land owners.

Jerry Baughman, President of Nevada Select added, "Rodeo Creek is strategically located and is on trend with several producing gold mines within Nevada's Carlin Trend. This is exactly the kind of high-quality project and exploration partner that can maximize the chances for discovery, creating value for Ely Gold shareholders."
