NEWS RELEASE

TNR Gold Begins Exploration Program on Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska 

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 24, 2022: TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TNR) (“TNR”, “TNR Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of an exploration program on the Company’s Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska.

The 2022 field program at the Shotgun and Winchester prospects, located in the Taylor Mountain Quadrangle, Alaska, will investigate the geochemical anomalies generated by the 1998 Novagold Resources soil surveys and the geophysical targets indicated by anomalies from the SJ Geophysics 2011 and 2012 EM surveys.

“The Shotgun Gold Project is an advanced-stage exploration prospect in southwestern Alaska. The Company’s strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a partnership with a major gold mining company. TNR Gold has successfully consolidated and updated its mining claims in Alaska and is actively introducing the project to interested parties,” commented Kirill Klip, TNR Gold Chief Executive Officer. “We may be at the beginning of a great discovery. There is a clear path on how to move this project forward using the geological and geophysical research currently available to target drilling to expand the resource. The next step is to acquire a partner that shares our vision and recognizes the growth potential and value to be added to the Shotgun Gold Project over time. This exploration program will allow us to provide additional information in TNR’s Shotgun Gold data room for our potential strategic partners.”

ABOUT THE SHOTGUN GOLD PROJECT

TNR holds a 90% interest in the Shotgun Gold Project that is located 190 kilometres south of the Donlin Gold Project deposits within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class, multi-million-ounce gold district. The Shotgun property includes a number of prospects, including Shotgun Ridge and nearby Winchester. The Donlin Gold Project is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Gold Project deposits as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits worldwide.

The Company is targeting a large tonnage porphyry system at Shotgun Ridge. Structural repeats, as interpreted from airborne magnetic data and ground geophysical surveys, provide TNR with encouraging targets for future drill testing.

Detailed information about the inferred mineral resource estimate is included in the technical report titled, “Technical Report on the Shotgun Gold Project, Southwest Alaska”, dated May 27, 2013 and can be found on the TNR Gold website at www.tnrgoldcorp.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.



ABOUT TNR GOLD Corp.

TNR Gold Corp. is working to become the green energy metals royalty and gold company.

Our business model provides a unique entry point in the creation of supply chains for critical materials like energy metals that are powering the energy rEVolution, and the gold industry that is providing a hedge for this stage of the economic cycle.

Our portfolio provides a unique combination of assets with exposure to multiple aspects of the mining cycle: the power of blue-sky discovery and important partnerships with industry leaders as operators on the projects that have the potential to generate royalty cashflows that will contribute significant value for our shareholders.

Over the past twenty-six years, TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high-quality global exploration projects. With the Company’s expertise, resources and industry network, the potential of the Mariana Lithium Project and Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina among many others have been recognized.

TNR holds a 1.5% NSR Royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project in Argentina, of which 0.15% NSR Royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder. Ganfeng Lithium’s subsidiary, Litio Minera Argentina (“LMA”), has the right to repurchase 1.0% of the NSR Royalty on the Mariana Project, of which 0.9% is the Company’s NSR Royalty interest. The Company would receive CAN$900,000 and its shareholder would receive CAN$100,000 on the repurchase by LMA, resulting in TNR holding a 0.45% NSR Royalty and its shareholder holding a 0.05% NSR Royalty.

The Mariana Lithium Project is 100% owned by Ganfeng Lithium. The Mariana Lithium Project has been approved by the Argentina provincial government of Salta for an environmental impact report, and the construction of a 20,000 tons-per-annum lithium chloride plant has commenced.

TNR Gold also holds a 0.4% NSR Royalty on the Los Azules Copper Project, of which 0.04% of the 0.4% NSR Royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder. The Los Azules Copper Project is being developed by McEwen Mining.

TNR also holds a 7% net profits royalty (“NPR”) holding on the Batidero I and II properties of the Josemaria Project that is being developed by Lundin Mining. Lundin Mining is part of the Lundin Group, a portfolio of companies producing a variety of commodities in several countries worldwide.

TNR provides significant exposure to gold through its 90% holding in the Shotgun Gold porphyry project in Alaska. The project is located in Southwestern Alaska near the Donlin Gold project, which is being developed by Barrick Gold and Novagold Resources. The Company’s strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a joint venture partnership with a major gold mining company. The Company is actively introducing the project to interested parties.

At its core, TNR provides a wide scope of exposure to gold, copper, silver and lithium through its holdings in Alaska (the Shotgun Gold porphyry project) and royalty holdings in Argentina (the Mariana Lithium project, the Los Azules Copper Project and the Batidero I &II properties of the Josemaria Project), and is committed to the continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.

Mining Alliance of Trust: Naked Short Selling, Silver Squeeze and Gold Manipulation - "Naked Shorting Targeted by New IIROC Notice"


Our Mining Alliance of Trust movement against Predatory Naked Short Selling and Kamikaze Pilots In Junior Mining is getting more and more support in the mining industry. Finally, we have the first tangible steps from regulators in Canada in order to prevent this criminal practice that is destroying junior mining. 



"A legally enforced ban on illegal Naked Short Selling must be implemented by all banks, brokerage houses and platforms providing apps-based trading facilities. It will bring a life-changing opportunity for junior mining companies. Dirty banksters are not only stealing our money, they are stealing our future." 



The bloody massacre in Crypto screams "Real Assets"! We have the catalyst for Gold and Silver in place now. Amplified by Reddit and Twitter investment communities Silver Squeeze movement opens pandora's box of the criminal Gold Manipulation by banksters next.





"Gold and Silver market manipulations have been considered "conspiracy theories" for years until they become the trials in the courtrooms. But not a lot of things changed for real so far. The same banks which paid billions in fines for markets manipulations made billions back manipulating the same markets and continue to master their dirty deeds. Blowing up hedge funds that are facing the Robinhood brave souls can be the louder message this time." 



The Deep Dive:

Naked Shorting Targeted By New IIROC Notice


 

This morning IIROC, who oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity markets in Canada, issued a notice effectively aimed at the practice of “naked short selling.” The note states that short sellers without a reasonable expectation that they will have access to sufficient securities to settle any resulting trade on settlement date, which generally is two days following the trade date, is prohibited by UMIR 2.2 – Manipulative and Deceptive Activities.”

Understanding Two Types of Short Sales

In general, there are two ways to describe short sales: “covered” or “naked.”

covered short sale is when a seller arranges to borrow or acquire the shares when a short sale is made. Conversely, a naked short sale is when a seller has sold shares they do not own, and has made no prior arrangements to borrow or acquire, but hopes to obtain shares to settle the trade.

Our Interpretation of the IIROC Notice

Essentially, our interpretation of IIROC’s notice after speaking with industry insiders is that the note is primarily aimed at those who are attempting to sell shares they have made no prior arrangements for, thus naked short sales

From our interpretation, short sales:

  • Must have borrow in place.
  • Or if it is a short sale with underlying securities that have a restrictive legend, the legend must be off before the settlement date (or the day of).
  • Or if it is a short sale prior to closing a new issue (i.e., a financing that will see new shares issued), the closing date must be before settlement date (or the day of).

Investors Feel They Pay for Short Sellers Gains

Naked short-selling has been a hotly debated issue amongst Canadian retail investors. From our view, many retail investors feel they aren’t fully supporting a company’s future when they buy shares in the open market, instead, they are supporting a wealth transfer mechanism that includes various Bay Street Investment Banksand Predatory Hedge Funds.

Law Firm McMillan LLP wrote a blog post back in 2019 analyzing the impact the lack of regulation has caused the Canadian Capital Markets, saying that Canada took a hands-off approach, while other countries got more active. They wrote, “From 2015 to 2018 there was an increase in the number of short campaigns in Canada, while generally in other jurisdictions there was a decrease. ” 

OilPrice.com editor James Stafford wrote an editorial piece for Business Insider in 2021, highlighting the issues with naked short-selling. At the time, Stafford wrote, “Stocks are sent into a tailspin when shorters fail to settle a trade and cannot find any stock to buy back, meaning that there are more shares which seem to be outstanding than there really are on the market. It’s an existential crisis for companies targeted by naked shorters. While technically, traders only have two days to settle those shorts, they are often given 10 days under “exceptional circumstances”, according to CME.”

Whether or not this notice will have a profound impact on the Canadian Capital Markets remains to be seen. But hopefully, this clarification paves the way to make an example of those abusing the Canadian Junior Markets. Too often, it feels like funds with large balance sheets crush companies leaving founders, executives, employees, investors, and other stakeholders left holding a bag for a company that never got a fair chance. All so that a portfolio manager could add a few basis points to their performance. Let’s hope this is a step in the right direction.

For more information, we encourage investors to read the original IIROC notice or contact a licensed financial advisor."

TNR Gold Update - NSR Royalty on McEwen Mining's Los Azules Copper, Gold and Silver Project: McEwen Copper Drills 222.0 m of 0.95% Cu Including 44.0 m of 1.38% Cu (AZ22158)


“We are pleased to see these significant developments on the Los Azules Copper Project and continued support by Rob McEwen of McEwen Copper,” stated Kirill Klip, TNR’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s very encouraging to see the opportunity to expand the deposit. These new positive results are demonstrating the continued success of a major drilling program on this copper, gold and silver project. McEwen Copper increased the drilling program to 59,000 metres, so far 13,500 metres was completed in 2022. The drilling resumes in October, and the plan is to complete 44,500 metres.



The personal commitment from Rob McEwen and his investment of US$40 million enabled the rapid advancement for this deposit to this new phase of development in an appropriate corporate structure. McEwen Copper raised an additional US$15 million earlier this year and this structure allows continued financing and further stages of development of the Los Azules Copper Project.



TNR Gold does not have to contribute any capital for the development of Los Azules. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like McEwen Mining as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders.”

NEWS RELEASE

TNR Gold Update – NSR Royalty on McEwen Mining’s Los Azules Copper, Gold and Silver Project

"Vancouver, British Columbia – August 16, 2022: TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TNR) (“TNR”, “TNR Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to the Company’s news release dated June 24, 2022, McEwen Mining Inc. (“McEwen Mining”) provided a progress report #4 on the Los Azules Copper Project in San Juan, Argentina. TNR holds a 0.4% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR Royalty”) (of which 0.04% of the 0.4% NSR Royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder) on the Los Azules Copper Project. The Los Azules Copper Project is held by McEwen Copper Inc., a subsidiary of McEwen Mining.

 

The news release issued by McEwen Mining on August 4, 2022, stated:

McEwen Copper: Los Azules Progress Report #4

Long intercepts with good grades

222.0 m of 0.95% Cu including 44.0 m of 1.38% Cu (AZ22158) 
238.0 m of 0.58% Cu including 10.0 m of 1.10% Cu (AZ22161)
194.0 m of 0.56% Cu including 8.0 m of 1.04% Cu (AZ22163)

TORONTO, Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — McEwen Copper Inc., a subsidiary of McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), is pleased to report the latest assay results from its Los Azules project, which continues to deliver long intercepts of good grades.

The drill program underway has three important objectives:

  • Improve confidence in the resource by converting Inferred mineral resources to the Indicated category;
  • Accelerate project advancement with metallurgical, hydrological and geotechnical drilling; and
  • Test the limits of the depth extension of the higher-grade mineralization.

Results from this drilling program will be used to update the 2017 Los Azules PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment). The updated version will be released in Q1, 2023.

The 2017 PEA was calculated using prices of $3/lb copper, $1,300/oz gold and $17/oz silver price. It projected robust economics, driven by large operating margins, large annual production, a short payback period and long mine life (link to the report: http://www.mcewenmining.com/files/technical_reports/los_azules/LosAzulesPEA_Rev0_20171016.pdf). Drilling has halted for the winter and will resume in October when spring arrives in Argentina.

Earlier this year, Mining Intelligence ranked Los Azules as one of the world’s top five largest undeveloped porphyry copper deposits that is not already owned by a major mining company.

The opportunity to expand the deposit at depth remains open for further testing. While the median depth of drill holes within the Los Azules resource database is 175 meters (m), it is not uncommon for porphyry copper mineralization to extend well beyond a kilometer or more of depth. Numerous drill holes have encountered strong copper grades below the 2017 PEA pit bottom. Only three holes have been drilled to a depth of a kilometer and all encountered mineralization.

The highest-grade mineral domains at Los Azules are clearly the hydrothermal and magmatic breccias and late-stage quartz veins which can extend kilometres to depth. There are numerous examples of such deposits in Argentina and Chile. The most recent is Filo Mining’s spectacular assay results of earlier this year. The Filo deposit is 300 kilometres north of Los Azules, also in the San Juan province, Argentina.

The deepest occurrence of a breccia at Los Azules is at a hole depth of some 810 m in drill hole AZ1299 and deepest occurrence of late-stage quartz veins is found at 990 m down the same hole.

A dedicated exploration program associated with higher grade domains at Los Azules has not yet been conducted. Most holes drilled to date are vertical and intersect the breccias at very low angles. Improving our understanding of the nature and distribution of the highest-grade mineral zones at Los Azules is a priority for the upcoming drilling seasons.

The most recent drill results are presented below in the cross-section Figures 1 to 4. These display the current inclined and historic vertical holes, with histograms of total copper content along their length, overlayed on a simplified interpretation of overburden, leached, enriched and primary mineral zones, and the 30-year pit shell (shown by green line), as defined by the 2017 PEA.

Section 30-30′, shown in Figure 1, includes hole AZ22158, with an attractive intercept of 222.0 m grading 0.95% Cu, and including an interval of 44.0 m grading 1.38% Cu. Partial results were reported in the Los Azules Progress Report #3 published on June 23, 2022. Hole AZ22166 was stopped at the arrival of winter and will be completed in spring.

Figure 1 – Cross-section 30-30’

Section 36-36’, shown in Figure 2, received eight new drill holes during the recent campaign. The final intercept reported was hole AZ22162, which targeted the gap between hole AZ22138 (522.1 m grading 0.42% Cu) and AZ22139.

Hole AZ22162 returned 348.0 m grading 0.28% Cu, while also ending in enriched mineralization. It appears to correlate well with historic hole AZ0838 (188.3 m grading 0.27% Cu).  

Cross Section 44-44′ shown in Figure 3 presents hole AZ22163 (194.0 m grading 0.56% Cu). AZ22163 includes 8.0 m of high-grade 1.04% Cu and supports 146.0 m of high-grade 1.10% Cu reported in historic hole AZ0620. Hole AZ22167 (80.4 m grading 0.21% Cu) results are as expected and similar to the historic hole LA0402.

Figure 2 – Cross-section 36-36’

Figure 3 – Cross-section 44-44’

Cross-section 48-48′ shown in Figure 4, profiles three new holes. Hole AZ22149(296.4 m grading 0.55% Cu including 54 m of 1.38% Cu), drilled just west of the center of the section, was released in our June 23 exploration update. Hole AZ22161, drilled east of the center of the section, with 238.0 m grading 0.58% Cu and including 10 m of 1.10% Cu, supports historic intercepts in adjacent holes AZ1060A(221.0 m grading 0.53% Cu) and AZ18136 (194.0 m grading 0.43%Cu), all below the 30-year pit shell, indicating significant potential for mineralization at depth.

Holes AZ22147 and AZ22165 were drilled off the west and east flanks to delimit margins of the deposit and did not encounter significant mineralization.  

Figure 4 – Cross-section 48-48’

Figure 5 – Locations of the cross-sections on the plan of the deposit

The Los Azules deposit is sequentially sub-divided into 50 m cross sections beginning at the southeast end of the deposit and progressing to the northwest. Section 36-36’ is approximately the mid-section of the deposit. As a matter of cross-referencing results presented in the Los Azules Progress Report #3 published on June 23, 2022, note that Section 36-36’ was previously identified as Section A-A’ and Section 48-48’ as Section C-C’. Section 40-40’ identifies with Section B-B’ and was not included in this release as no new results have been added there.

Drilling resumes in October, and the plan is to complete 45,500 m.

The McEwen Mining press release appears to be prepared by Qualified Persons (as that term is defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed therein are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify McEwen Mining’s information to determine the current mineral resource or other information referred to in its press releases. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned in placing any reliance on the disclosures therein.



“We are pleased to see these significant developments on the Los Azules Copper Project and continued support by Rob McEwen of McEwen Copper,” stated Kirill Klip, TNR’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s very encouraging to see the opportunity to expand the deposit. These new positive results are demonstrating the continued success of a major drilling program on this copper, gold and silver project. McEwen Copper increased the drilling program to 59,000 metres, so far 13,500 metres was completed in 2022. The drilling resumes in October, and the plan is to complete 44,500 metres.

The personal commitment from Rob McEwen and his investment of US$40 million enabled the rapid advancement for this deposit to this new phase of development in an appropriate corporate structure. McEwen Copper raised an additional US$15 million earlier this year and this structure allows continued financing and further stages of development of the Los Azules Copper Project.

TNR Gold does not have to contribute any capital for the development of Los Azules. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like McEwen Mining as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders.”



ABOUT TNR GOLD Corp.

TNR Gold Corp. is working to become the green energy metals royalty and gold company.

Our business model provides a unique entry point in the creation of supply chains for critical materials like energy metals that are powering the energy rEVolution, and the gold industry that is providing a hedge for this stage of the economic cycle.

Our portfolio provides a unique combination of assets with exposure to multiple aspects of the mining cycle: the power of blue-sky discovery and important partnerships with industry leaders as operators on the projects that have the potential to generate royalty cashflows that will contribute significant value for our shareholders.

Over the past twenty-six years, TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high-quality global exploration projects. With the Company’s expertise, resources and industry network, the potential of the Mariana Lithium Project and Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina among many others have been recognized.

TNR holds a 1.5% NSR Royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project in Argentina, of which 0.15% NSR Royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder. Ganfeng Lithium’s subsidiary, Litio Minera Argentina (“LMA”), has the right to repurchase 1.0% of the NSR Royalty on the Mariana Project, of which 0.9% is the Company’s NSR Royalty interest. The Company would receive CAN$900,000 and its shareholder would receive CAN$100,000 on the repurchase by LMA, resulting in TNR holding a 0.45% NSR Royalty and its shareholder holding a 0.05% NSR Royalty.

The Mariana Lithium Project is 100% owned by Ganfeng Lithium. The Mariana Lithium Project has been approved by the Argentina provincial government of Salta for an environmental impact report, and the construction of a 20,000 tons-per-annum lithium chloride plant has commenced.

TNR Gold also holds a 0.4% NSR Royalty on the Los Azules Copper Project, of which 0.04% of the 0.4% NSR Royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder. The Los Azules Copper Project is being developed by McEwen Mining.

TNR also holds a 7% net profits royalty (“NPR”) holding on the Batidero I and II properties of the Josemaria Project that is being developed by Lundin Mining. Lundin Mining is part of the Lundin Group, a portfolio of companies producing a variety of commodities in several countries worldwide.

TNR provides significant exposure to gold through its 90% holding in the Shotgun Gold porphyry project in Alaska. The project is located in Southwestern Alaska near the Donlin Gold project, which is being developed by Barrick Gold and Novagold Resources. The Company’s strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a joint venture partnership with a major gold mining company. The Company is actively introducing the project to interested parties.

At its core, TNR provides a wide scope of exposure to gold, copper, silver and lithium through its holdings in Alaska (the Shotgun Gold porphyry project) and royalty holdings in Argentina (the Mariana Lithium project, the Los Azules Copper Project and the Batidero I &II properties of the Josemaria Project), and is committed to the continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.
