TONOPAH, Nev., Oct. 29, 2026 /CNW/ — A2Gold Corp. (“A2Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: AUAU) (OTCQX: AUXXF) (FRA: RR7) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive Mining Property Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) with Super Gold Mining Corp. (“Super Gold“) for the sale of a 100% interest in the Bolo Gold Project (“Bolo” or the “Project“), located in Nye County, Nevada. The Project comprises 187 unpatented lode mining claims together with the Uncle Sam patented mining claim.
The transaction is consistent with A2Gold’s strategy of focusing its capital and technical resources on its core Eastside and Taylor projects while monetizing non-core assets in a manner that preserves meaningful exposure to future success.
Under the Definitive Agreement, upon Closing A2Gold will receive:
- C$1.5 million in Super Gold common shares, consisting of 3,750,000 shares at a deemed value of C$0.40 per share;
- Replacement by Super Gold of approximately US$198,500 in reclamation bonding, allowing A2Gold’s existing reclamation funds to be released;
- Up to C$2.4 million in cumulative mineral resource milestone payments based on the size of future gold-equivalent mineral resources defined at Bolo; and
- An additional C$400,000 payment upon completion of a qualifying Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA“).
A2Gold CEO Peter Gianulis commented: “The sale of Bolo monetizes a non-core asset, releases capital tied up in reclamation bonding and preserves exposure to its future success through an equity position in Super Gold and up to C$2.8 million in additional payments. The transaction positions Bolo for advancement by a group committed to funding the Project, while allowing A2Gold to focus on Eastside and Taylor, where we see the greatest opportunity to create shareholder value.”
Transaction Terms
At Closing, Super Gold will issue A2Gold 3,750,000 common shares at a deemed price of C$0.40 per share, representing an aggregate deemed value of C$1.5 million. Super Gold has also agreed to replace the existing reclamation bonding, totaling approximately US$198,500, associated with Bolo and to reimburse claim maintenance fees paid for the current year.
The consideration shares will be subject to contractual resale restrictions, with 25% released upon completion of Super Gold’s Going Public Transaction and additional 25% tranches released six, twelve and eighteen months thereafter, subject to applicable securities laws and exchange requirements.
Super Gold has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a Going Public Transaction within twelve months following Closing and no later than eighteen months following Closing, subject to the extension provisions contained in the Definitive Agreement.
If Super Gold has not completed a Going Public Transaction within twelve months of Closing, A2Gold will be entitled to a C$200,000 cash payment.
If Super Gold has not completed a Going Public Transaction within eighteen months of Closing, A2Gold may, subject to the terms and cure provisions of the Definitive Agreement, elect to require the re-conveyance of Bolo.
Milestone Payments
Super Gold is required to engage an independent Qualified Person and complete the exploration and technical work reasonably required to support an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for Bolo within two years of Closing.
During the applicable milestone period, A2Gold will be entitled to cumulative payments based on gold-equivalent ounces identified in one or more future mineral resource estimates at Bolo:
- 200,000 – 399,999 AuEq ounces: C$500,000
- 400,000 – 599,999 AuEq ounces: C$800,000
- 600,000 – 799,999 AuEq ounces: C$1,100,000
- 800,000 – 999,999 AuEq ounces: C$1,500,000
- 1,000,000 AuEq ounces or greater: C$2,400,000
Furthermore, if a future PEA incorporates at least 200,000 gold-equivalent ounces and meets the economic thresholds established in the Definitive Agreement, A2Gold will be entitled to an additional C$400,000 PEA Payment.
Protection Upon a Future Sale of Bolo
The Definitive Agreement contains provisions protecting A2Gold’s deferred consideration in the event Bolo is subsequently sold or otherwise monetized.
If, during the milestone period, Super Gold enters into a qualifying transaction involving Bolo with aggregate consideration attributable to the Project of C$25 million or more, the maximum C$2.4 million mineral resource milestone and C$400,000 PEA payment will be deemed earned, with A2Gold entitled to receive the unpaid balance of the aggregate C$2.8 million.
The Definitive Agreement also contains protections relating to certain sales or dispositions of Bolo during the initial two-year period following Closing.
Closing
Closing is expected to occur within the next few weeks, subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including but not limited to the following:
- Establishment and acceptance of replacement reclamation bonding and confirmation of the release of A2Gold’s existing reclamation bond;
- Approval of the transfer of the applicable Plan of Operations to Super Gold’s U.S. subsidiary or its designated operator;
- Delivery of the agreed Cordex estoppel certificate; and
- Completion of customary title and closing documentation.
