JZR GOLD SATISFIES ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER A JOINT VENTURE ROYALTY AGREEMENT WITH ECO, AND HAS ACQUIRED A 50% NET PROFIT INTEREST ON THE VILA NOVA GOLD PROJECT IN AMAPA STATE, BRAZIL

JZR Gold Inc. has satisfied all requirements under a joint venture royalty agreement (JVRA) with ECO Mining Oil & Gaz Drilling and Exploration entered into on July 6, 2020, as amended on Jan. 9, 2023. Pursuant to the JVRA, it has acquired a 50-per-cent net profit interest from all net profit (as defined in the JVRA) generated from the Vila Nova gold project located in Amapa state, Brazil. Pursuant to an agreement between ECO and Cooperativa do Garimpeiros do Vale da Vila Nova dated Jan. 12, 2020, ECO is entitled to 85 per cent of the total sale value of all gold derived from the tailings piles, dams, pond basin and waste reservoir on the property.

In connection with the foregoing, the company advanced to ECO an aggregate of $6-million (U.S.) to, among other things, construct and assemble an 800-tonne-per-day bulk-sampling gravimetric mill on the property. The sum of the capital payments is considered a loan to ECO by the company, and is to be repaid to the company from the proceeds of the sale of any products, prior to the distribution of any profits. As previously disclosed, the mill has been assembled, and is operating and processing material on the property. The property has a long history of alluvial mining in the deeply saprolitized bedrock consisting of banded gold-bearing iron formations and exhalative gold zones. Some hard rock was also produced.

Jackson, PGeo, a qualified person under NI 43-101 and independent of the company.
