85% Expansion of License Holdings Positions MegumaGold as the Largest Mining Claim Owner in Nova Scotia’s Goldenville Gold Exploration Camp

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Jan. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MegumaGold Corp. (CSE: NSAU, OTC: NSAUF, FWB: 2CM2) (“MegumaGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 203 mining claims adjacent to and on-strike with MegumaGold’s Greater Goldenville Gold Project in Nova Scotia, Canada (the “Acquisition”).

“MegumaGold delivers a substantial investment proposition for our shareholders and is at the forefront of gold exploration in Nova Scotia. Our corporate-owned mining rights in the Goldenville Gold District are unrivaled in scale, something which is further bolstered by today’s acquisition. We are excited about the potential for MegumaGold within the Goldenville Gold District and equally elsewhere across our dominant gold exploration holdings in Nova Scotia,” stated Theo van der Linde, President of MegumaGold.

Prior to the Acquisition, MegumaGold held 240 mining claims. Following the Acquisition, the Company’s contiguous and on-trend district-scale tenure holdings in the Goldenville Gold District will increase from 240 mining claim licenses to 443 mining claim licenses thereby materially scaling up the Company’s operating base and exploration portfolio in the area by approximately 85%.
