Vancouver, British Columbia – November 10, 2023 – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD, OTCQB:GIDMF, FRA:6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence”) announces that it is proposing to change its name to “Nexus Uranium Corp.” (the “Name Change“). The Name Change is meant to reflect the Company’s broader focus on its uranium and precious metals portfolio including the Wray Mesa uranium-vanadium project in Utah and potential future acquisitions in the uranium space.

“The strategic shift towards clean energy fuels, such as uranium, comes as a result of an extensive evaluation of opportunities to drive shareholder value” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO and Director of Golden Independence Mining Corp. “The current market fundamentals for uranium, highlighted by multi-decade highs in spot uranium prices coupled with a systemic market supply shortage, highlights the prospectivity of uranium projects and reinforces the decision to gain exposure to this market. Conversely, despite spot gold prices trading near historic levels around US$2,000 per ounce, gold-focused equities trade at the lower range of historical market valuations. While we believe our gold assets hold significant value in the long-term, we feel the diversification of commodity exposure allows shareholders to capture near-term value.”

Wray Mesa Uranium Project, Utah (Option to Acquire 90%)

The Wray Mesa project is comprised of 308 unpatented lode claims totalling 6,282 acres located in San Juan County, Utah. The project was the subject of extensive historical exploration, including the drilling of over 500 holes, with mineralization ranging from 25 to 75 feet thick at depths of 500 to 700 feet. Mineralization is typical sandstone-hosted tabular deposits wherein the uranium occurs in reduced and altered sandstones and sandstone-mudstones in major stream channels in the Upper Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation. The property is contiguous to and adjoins Energy Fuel Inc.’s (EFR-T, UUUU-NYSE) fully permitted and production-ready La Sal project which includes a number of past-producing uranium and vanadium mines (production of 550,000 lbs U3O8 in 2012). The Company has the option to acquire up to a 90%-interest through staged cash and share payments in addition to exploration commitments. The Company is reviewing all the historical data to prioritize targets prior to finalizing an exploration program. The Company cautions investors that the presence of mineralization at the La Sal project is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at the Wray Mesa project.

Independence Gold Project, Nevada (51% Interest and Operator)

The Independence project is comprised of 14 unpatented BLM claims and 60 millsite claims covering 640 acres, residing entirely within the permitted Plan of Operations of Nevada Gold Mines’ (Barrick-Newmont JV) Phoenix Mine. Since acquiring the project in 2020, the Company has delivered multiple resource estimates outlining both a near-surface, open-pittable resource in addition to a high-grade skarn resource. In late 2021, the Company completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the near surface resource which outlined life-of-mine (LOM) production of 195,443 ounces of gold plus 1,281,420 ounces of silver at an AISC of US$1,078 and an after-tax NPV5% of US$45 million and IRR of 22% at US$1,799/oz gold and US$22.47/oz silver. More recently, the Company has outlined a follow-up exploration and resource expansion drill program targeting the Rebel Zone for which all permits have been received and all preliminary earthworks have been completed. Golden Independence cautions investors the preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

Napoleon Gold Project, BC (100% ownership)

The Napoleon project is comprised of 7,828 acres of contiguous claims with no underlying royalties or obligations within the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia. An initial exploration program comprised of rock sampling and prospecting was met with overall success, specifically identifying similar geology and mineralization to that of the Bonaparte high-grade deposit located adjacent to the claims. Exploration within the region dates back to the 1970’s and 1980’s with the discovery of gold mineralization in several clusters of quartz vein float material over a diorite intrusion with grades varying from 3.4 to 547 g/t gold. The adjoining Bonaparte deposit has been extensively explored including underground development, open pit mining, and a bulk sampling which yielded grades of 26.5 g/t gold from a 3,700 metric tonne bulk sample.

HY-Jay, VBA and VM Gold Projects, Yukon (100% ownership)

The Yukon gold projects are comprised of almost 8,000 hectares of quartz claims prospective for high-grade gold mineralization with historical grab sampling highlights of 144 g/t gold.

The HY-JAY project is comprised of 198 claims covering an area of 10,156 acres located on the NW corner of Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces project and adjoins Stratabound Mineral’s Golden Culvert project to the west. Prior exploration has outlined three areas of anomalous gold in rock and soil (the Zig Zag, East Ridge and West zones), all of which occur in a similar geologic setting to those reported at the adjoining 3 Aces project.

The VM project is comprised of 104 claims covering approximately 5,337 acres located 20 kilometres northwest of the HY-Jay project. The VBA project is comprised of 80 claims covering an area of 4,102 acres located 45 kilometres northwest of the HY-Jay project. Both the VM and VBA projects were originally staked to cover stream drainages highlighted by favorable geology and coincident arsenic and/or gold anomalies identified from regional geochemical surveying.

Fraser Lake Copper Project, BC (49% Interest, Under Option)

The Fraser Lake project is comprised of three claim blocks totalling 24,463 acres located proximal to the Quesnel Trough of Central British Columbia. The Company acquired the project through direct staking based on the geology and location supported significant copper molybdenum porphyry prospectivity. The Optionee has acquired a 51% interest through the issuance of 1.0 million shares and incurring $100,000 in exploration expenditures and may acquire the remaining 49% interest through the issuance of an additional 2.0 million shares and $200,000 in exploration within 18 months of acquiring the initial 51% ownership. In addition, the Company retains a 2% NSR royalty on the project of which 1% can be repurchased for $2.0 million in cash.

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Warren Robb, PGeo (BC) a Qualified Person under NI43-101 and a Director and the VP of Exploration of Golden Independence Mining Corp.

Completion of the Name Change remains subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company will issue a further news release announcing the effective date of the Name Change and the new CUSIP number for the Company’s common shares.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 16, 2023) – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD) (OTCQB: GIDMF) (FSE: 6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence“) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement“) to acquire up to a 90%-interest in the Wray Mesa uranium project in Utah, USA.

The Wray Mesa project is comprised of 308 unpatented lode claims totalling 6,282 acres located in San Juan County, Utah. The property is accessible via Utah State Highway 46 and unpaved Forest Service Roads, with access to power, water and proximal to the town of La Sal. The property is contiguous to and adjoins Energy Fuel Inc.’s fully-permitted and production-ready La Sal project which includes a number of past-producing uranium and vanadium mines (production of 550,000 lbs U3O8 in 2012). The La Sal project is host to Measured & Indicated resources of 4.1 Mlb of uranium (U3O8) plus 21.5 Mlb of vanadium (V2O5) plus Inferred resources of 0.4 Mlb of uranium plus 1.9 Mlb of vanadium (source: Technical Report on the La Sal District Project, prepared for Energy Fuels Inc. by D.C. Peters and dated March 25, 2014.). The Company cautions investors that the presence of mineralization at the La Sal project is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at the Wray Mesa project.

“With the recent resurgence of uranium prices to over US$70 per pound, representing 10-year highs, and the global push towards clean energy, this has created a resurgence in the prospectivity of conventional uranium deposits within the USA that had been overlooked during a depressed spot price environment,” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden Independence. “The ability to acquire a majority interest in an advanced-stage uranium project which has benefited from extensive past exploration and drilling located within a Tier-1 jurisdiction provides an exciting opportunity for shareholders to gain exposure to the growing energy trend while maintaining a Tier-1 portfolio for both gold and uranium.”

“With Basin Uranium’s focus firmly shifted towards it’s Chord project in South Dakota, this agreement allows the project to advance while still providing the Company exposure to an exciting uranium district in Utah,” commented Michael Blady, CEO of Basin Uranium. “We look forward to working with the Golden Independence team as the project operator under the initial earn-in agreement to advance the understanding of the project and better define the areas of historical mineralization. Given the significant appetite for advanced-stage uranium assets in safe jurisdictions combined with support from the US Government in advancing clean energy security, this allows both companies to benefit from this pivotal time in the global energy transition.”

Wray Mesa Project Overview

  • Uranium and vanadium production in the district dates back to the early 1900’s with the majority of the production derived from the Upper Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation (the ‘Formation’).
  • Work by previous operators discovered multiple areas of uranium-vanadium mineralization in the same geologic formation that accounted for the majority of production in the district (Upper Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation).
  • Mineralization on the property occurs at depths of 500 to 750 feet with the drill-defined mineralization ranging from 25 to 75 feet. Mineralization is typical sandstone-hosted tabular deposits wherein the uranium occurs in reduced and altered sandstones and sandstone-mudstones in major stream channels in the Formation.
  • Historical work dates back to Atlas Minerals and Pioneer Uravan in 1976 to 1983, who drilled a total of 495 exploration holes (of which logs for 193 holes totaling 137,510 feet or 41,913 metres were preserved), and Homeland Uranium in 2007-2008 who drilled 15 holes. Note: some of the historical drilling was on 3rd party claims not currently owned.
  • Past exploration was primarily focused on the Dylan, Ajax, Whiskey and Carlin targets. All of the mineralized areas are open to expansion. Historic drill data is not available for Carlin:
    • Ajax: most heavily drilled and tightest spacings with some holes 25 to 50 feet apart. A total of 164 historic holes drilled which defined mineralization a 1,200 by 25-75 metre area. Thirty (30) holes returned grades in excess of 0.1% eU3O8.
    • Dylan: best defined with drilling on a 100 by 100-foot grid. Thirty-nine holes were drilled in 1976 to 1983 with follow-up drilling in 2007 which defined mineralization over a 500 by 40-100 metre area. Seven (7) holes returned grades in excess of 0.2% eU3O8, with highlight grades of 2.5% eU3O8 over 2.6 feet.
    • Whiskey: A total of 29 holes drilled at 100-foot spacings with a number of holes intersecting significant mineralization and defining an area of 400 by 10-70 metres. Highlights of drilling included 0.98% eU3O8 over 5 feet. Further follow-up and more systematic drilling is required.
    • Carlin: While complete historical records are unavailable, based on limited data mineralization was defined over a 150 by 20-70 metre area.

Transaction Terms

Under the terms of the Option Agreement between the Company and Basin Uranium Corp. (CSE: NCLR), the Company will have the right to acquire up to a 90%-interest in the project through staged cash, share and work commitments. To earn an initial 51% interest in the project, the Company must pay C$50,000 in cash and issue 300,000 shares within five days of approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and incur US$250,000 in exploration within the first year, in addition to paying C$100,000 in cash, issuing C$250,000 worth of stock and incurring US$500,000 of exploration by the end of the second year. Once the 51% earn-in has been completed, the Company has the option to earn an additional 20% interest (for a total of 71%) through an additional payment of C$75,000 in cash plus issuing C$250,000 worth of stock and incurring US$1,000,000 in exploration by the end of the third year. Assuming the completion of a 71% earn-in, the Company can earn a further 19% interest (for a total of 90%) through the payment of C$75,000 in cash plus issuing C$250,000 worth of stock and incurring US$1,000,000 in exploration by the end of the fourth year. Once the Company has earned a 90% interest in the project, Basin Uranium Corp. will have a free carried 10% interest in the project.

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 9, 2023 – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD, OTCQB:GIDMF, FRA:6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence”) is pleased to announce it has completed preliminary earthworks in preparation for an upcoming drill program at its development-stage Independence project in Nevada. The earthworks contractor has completed the road cuts and preparation of drill pad sites for future exploration drilling on the project. In addition, geologic staff have completed preliminary sampling at the newly exposed areas including sampling, mapping and prospecting of the Rebel Zone. Collected samples have been delivered to ALS USA, Inc. in Reno, Nevada for chemical assaying and results are expected over the coming weeks. The Rebel Zone is located outside of the proposed open pit to the east where previous surface grab sampling of extensive silicified outcrop returned a highlight grab value of 7.72 g/t gold. Additionally, a NE striking gossanous structural zone has returned highlight grab values of 16.55 g/t and 14.45 g/t gold. The Company will look to finalize plans for drilling on receipt and interpretation of all results and remains fully permitted for an exploration drill program at the Rebel Zone.

In addition, the Company currently has two applications for water rights with the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources to support mining and production activities for the Independence project. The application process consists of 1) filing an application with supporting documents and payment of fees, 2) a ‘Map Table’ review, 3) sent for publication, 4) protest period, 5) Ready for Action (or “RFA”), 6) a hearing, if required, and 7) determination of action (approved with or without conditions or denied). Both of the Company’s permits are currently at the Ready for Action stage and are pending approval. The Company remains optimistic about a favorable outcome as water rights were previously granted for this 480-acre parcel of land (referred to as “Section 17” as first announced on November 19, 2020) in 2013 by the State Engineer of Nevada.

“We eagerly await the results from our exploration program at the Rebel Zone which will guide future exploration and development drilling to expand the project’s scope” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden Independence. “The securing of water rights in the Buffalo Valley River Basin represents a significant de-risking milestone for the eventual development and operation of a heap-leach operation at Independence.”

Golden Independence cautions investors grab samples are by their nature select samples and may not necessarily be indicative of similar mineralization elsewhere on the property.

The Independence project is a joint venture between Golden Independence Mining Corp. (the “Company”) and Americas Gold Exploration Inc., with the Company being the operator and majority owner.

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 16th, 2023 – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD, OTCQB:GIDMF, FRA:6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence”) is pleased to announce the mobilization for the first phase exploration program at the Napoleon project located in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia. The exploration contractor, Tripoint Geological Services, will be on site during the first week of June 2023 to conduct the first phase of the exploration program which is focused on sampling and refining targets for the second phase. The two-phased program will be comprised of a grid sampling program (approx. 800 samples), rock sampling and prospecting, in addition to a 70-line-kilometre property-wide airborne magnetic geophysical survey and a 5-line-kilometre IP survey.

“We look forward to being able to get boots on the ground and advancing a meaningful exploration program for the Napoleon project” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden Independence. “The Napoleon project represents only one of the exciting exploration projects within the Company’s portfolio, along with the development-stage Independence project in Nevada which is currently undergoing preliminary site preparation in advance of a resource expansion drill program. We also recently attained a portfolio of highly prospective gold projects covering almost 8,000 hectares within the Upper Hyland River Gold Belt of the Yukon.”

About the Napoleon Project

The Napoleon property occurs along the same northwest trending erosional exposure through Chilcotin basalts as the Bonaparte Mine. The Bonaparte Mine, located to the southeast, is comprised of several en echelon high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins with similar intrusive rocks mapped within the Napoleon property. Exploration within the region dates back to the 1970’s and 1980’s with the discovery of gold mineralization in several clusters of quartz vein float material over a diorite intrusion with grades varying from 3.4 to 547 g/t gold[1]. The adjoining Bonaparte deposit has been extensively explored including underground development, open pit mining, and a bulk sampling which yielded grades of 26.5 g/t gold from a 3,700 metric tonne bulk sample[2].

Golden Independence cautions investors it has yet to verify the historical information and further cautions mineralization on the Bonaparte deposit is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Napoleon Gold Project.

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 25th, 2023 – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD, OTCQB:GIDMF, FRA:6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence”) is pleased to announce it has acquired a portfolio of quartz mining claims located in the eastern Yukon (collectively, the “Yukon Claims“) previously held by Bearing Lithium Corp. (“Bearing“). The Yukon Claims are comprised of three projects covering almost 8,000 hectares, the HY-Jay, VBA and VM, all of which are located along the 50-kilometre Upper Hyland River Gold Belt. This belt of favourable stratigraphy, comprised of Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hyland Group, is host to several high-grade, sediment-hosted orogenic gold vein occurrences.

“The acquisition of these claims for no material consideration represents an accretive transaction which provides optionality on an emerging gold district in the Yukon” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden Independence. “While we are currently aggregating all the historical exploration data from these projects in order to determine the best next steps forward for the projects, as there are a number of very prospective high-grade samples that have not previously been followed up on.”

Figure 1: Regional Map Showing Location of Projects

HY-Jay Project

The HY-Jay project is comprised of 198 claims covering an area of approximately 4,110 hectares located on the northwest corner of Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces project and adjoins Stratabound Mineral’s Golden Culvert project to the west. Prior exploration has outlined three areas of anomalous gold in rock and soil (the Zig Zag, East Ridge and West zones), all of which occur in a similar geologic setting to those reported at the adjoining 3 Aces project. The West zone is characterized by a 1.4 kilometre north-northwest trending anomaly, with the East Ridge zone spanning some 0.9 kilometres-long located 800 metres east of the West Zone. Previous exploration at the West and East Ridge zones returned values greater than one gram per tonne gold from quartz veins hosted in metasediments, with one highlight value returning 144 g/t gold. Sampling from the Zig Zag zone returned significant gold assays from grab samples of quartz-arsenopyrite vein material collected from a large field of metasediment and phyllite sub-crop and float boulders, with results from seven grab samples ranging from 2.19 g/t gold up to a maximum of 47.0 g/t gold. (Source: Bearing Resources Ltd. News Releases dated 2011-Nov-24 and 2016-Nov-08)

The project has seen limited historical drilling with one three-hold program totalling 232-metres completed in 2005. The project is comprised of 48 claims for the HY project, which was acquired from Freeport-McMoRan Exploration in 2011 and the balance of the 150 claims were acquired through staking by Bearing Resources Ltd. A 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) in the favor of Freeport remains on the HY claims, which can be reduced to a 1% NSR through a one-time payment of $1 million. The Jay claims are not subject to a royalty.

VM & VBA Projects

The VM project, comprised of 104 claims covering approximately 2,160 hectares, is  located 20 kilometres northwest of the HY-Jay project. The VM property was staked to cover two stream drainages highlighted by favorable geology and coincident gold and arsenic anomalous (greater than 95 percentile) government regional geochemical survey samples (sample 813102: 53 ppb Au & 50.8 ppm As; sample 813104: 41 ppb Au & 22.0 ppm As).

The VBA project is comprised of 80 claims covering an area of approximately 1,660 hectares located 45 kilometres northwest of the HY-Jay project. The VBA project was staked to cover drainages highlighted by an 824.4 ppm arsenic (greater than 99 percentile) government regional geochemical stream sediment survey anomaly (sample 811614). Results from preliminary work completed at VBA identified a number of multiple station, coincident gold (33 of 265 samples above 17 ppb with a high of 405 ppb gold) and arsenic (23 of 265 above 45 ppm with an high of 14,000 ppm arsenic) soil anomalies. (Source: Bearing Resources Ltd. News Release dated 2016-Nov-08)

The VBA and VM projects are located adjacent to Trailbreaker Resources’ Plateau project where drilling has intersected significant mineralization including 13.25 g/t gold over 17.5 metres at the Goldstack Zone and 7.6 g/t gold over 9.03 metres at the Gold Dome Zone. There are no underlying royalties associated with the VBA and VM claims.

Golden Independence cautions investors it has yet to verify the historical data and further cautions investors grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of sampling on the entire property.

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 18th, 2023 – Golden Independence Mining Corp. (CSE: IGLD, OTCQB:GIDMF, FRA:6NNA) (the “Company” or “Golden Independence”) is pleased to announce it has commenced preliminary earthworks in preparation for an upcoming drill program at its development-stage Independence project in Nevada. The Company has engaged an earthworks contractor to cut roads and prepare drill pads ahead of exploration drilling, in addition to engaging geologic staff to conduct further exploration in terms of sampling, mapping and prospecting of the newly disturbed areas. The proposed upcoming exploration program will focus on delineating high-grade zones within and tangential to the proposed open pit, as well as testing of the recently discovered Rebel Zone. The Rebel Zone is located outside of the proposed open pit to the east where previous surface grab sampling of extensive silicified outcrop returned a highlight value of 7.72 g/t gold. Additionally, a NE striking gossanous structural zone has returned highlight grab values of 16.55 g/t, 14.45 g/t and 7.72 g/t gold. The exploration program is fully permitted with preliminary earthworks anticipated to be completed in the coming weeks.

“We are excited to get back to an active exploration program at our Independence project in Nevada” commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Golden Independence. “Since tabling our Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in December of 2021, the market for gold and gold-related equities has improved significantly – with the price of gold appreciating from US$1,800 to near all-time highs of over US$2,050 per ounce. This improved sentiment, coupled with significant opportunities to both refine and improve the resource and economics at Independence, allows for this exploration program to have a meaningful impact on the project’s valuation and attractiveness to peers.”

The Independence project is a joint venture between Golden Independence Mining Corp. (the “Company”) and Americas Gold Exploration Inc., with the Company being the operator and majority owner.
