A2GOLD COMPLETES STRATEGIC CLAIM CONSOLIDATION AT TAYLOR SILVER-GOLD PROJECT

A2 Gold Corp. has completed the acquisition of a 100-per-cent interest in 26 strategically located lode mining claims (the RT/JO claims) within its Taylor silver-gold project located in White Pine county, Nevada.

The acquisition marks an important milestone in the advancement of the Taylor project, resulting in the first consolidation of the Taylor district into a single district-scale land package under one operator. The transaction eliminates a significant inlier claim position located within the core of Taylor and removes potential exploration, development and operational constraints associated with fragmented ownership.

The RT/JO claims occupy a central position within the Taylor project and are surrounded by claims already controlled by A2 Gold. Several of the acquired claims are located adjacent to areas of known mineralization and portions of the existing silver resource footprint. The acquisition unifies the district and provides the company with greater flexibility to advance exploration, resource expansion and future development activities across Taylor without internal ownership constraints.

Peter Gianulis, chief executive officer of A2 Gold, commented: "This transaction is about much more than simply adding 26 claims. For the first time, the Taylor district has been consolidated into a single district-scale project under one operator. These claims occupy a strategic position within the heart of the district and are important to our efforts to expand the existing silver resource, evaluate additional gold targets, and further investigate the growing antimony opportunity at Taylor. By eliminating a significant inlier land position, we have strengthened our ability to systematically explore and advance Taylor as a unified project. We believe district consolidation creates substantial long-term value and enhances the potential of Taylor to emerge as an important Nevada silver-gold project with a meaningful critical mineral upside."

Enhancing resource expansion and discovery potential

The RT/JO claims occupy a highly prospective portion of the Taylor district and are strategically important to several of the company's key exploration objectives. Located adjacent to and along trend from known areas of silver, gold and antimony mineralization, the claims are considered important for:

• Expansion of the existing silver resource;
• Exploration of northern extensions of known mineralized trends;
• Advancement of gold exploration targets throughout the district;
• Evaluation of antimony-bearing systems that may represent a significant United States critical minerals opportunity;
• Testing of high-priority carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) targets.

Management believes the acquisition improves geological continuity across several priority exploration corridors and enhances the company's ability to systematically explore and advance the Taylor district as a unified project. With an existing silver resource, substantial exploration upside in silver, gold and antimony, and district-scale ownership now consolidated under a single operator, A2 Gold believes Taylor has the attributes necessary to emerge as one of Nevada's premier precious metals and critical minerals exploration and development projects.

Transaction terms

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, A2 Gold acquired a 100-per-cent interest in the RT/JO claims in consideration for:

• $225,000 (U.S.) in cash;
• 316,377 common shares of A2 Gold;
• A 1.0-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty retained by the vendors.

A2 Gold retains the right to repurchase one-half (0.5 per cent) of the NSR for $500,000 (U.S.) at any time during the first three years following closing.
