Group 11 Technologies Inc. (“Group 11”) is pleased
to announce it has signed an option and earn-in agreement (the
“Agreement”) with
GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG)
(OTCQB: GFGSF) (“
GFG”) to advance GFG’s
Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project (the “Project”) in Wyoming, United
States. Under the terms of the Agreement, Group 11 has the right to
acquire, in multiple stages, up to 70% of the Project by completing
a series of exploration and development expenditures
(“Expenditures”) as summarized below and making staged cash and
equity payments to GFG.
Group 11 Technologies Inc. is led by a group of
technical pioneers and experts in the development and application
of in-situ recovery (“ISR”) with significant experience operating
in Wyoming. Group 11’s goal is to combine ISR, a non-invasive
extraction technology, with an environmentally friendly water-based
chemistry to recover gold and other metals, providing an
alternative development path to conventional open pit and
underground mineral extraction.
The Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project is viewed as
an ideal test project for Group 11 for the following reasons:
- Wyoming is a top United States mining jurisdiction with
regulators who understand and effectively legislate ISR better than
anywhere else in the US;
- Gold grades throughout the system vary from low to high
allowing for testing various grades response to the ISR
process;
- Gold occurs in a variety of geological settings, allowing for
testing of various styles of mineralization;
- Gold occurs across a large physical area allowing for testing
under various lithostatic conditions across and through several
rock types and chemistries;
- Gold occurs under relatively accessible topography, an
important consideration for wellfield development.
Live Webcast – April 15,

Thursday, April 15 at 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time (7:00 am
Pacific Standard Time) to discuss the Agreement, Group 11’s
innovative technology, the upcoming programs and to answer any
questions from shareholders. Shareholders, analysts, investors, and
media are invited to join the live webcast by registering using the

After registering, you will receive a
confirmation email containing details to access the webinar via
conference call or webcast. A replay of the webcast will be
available following the conclusion of the call.
“Group 11 is very excited to establish its first
anchor project with GFG and the Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project.
Rattlesnake hosts all the necessary parameters, in a
well-established jurisdiction, to test and apply the combination of
ISR technology and our exclusive use of EnviroLeach’s non-cyanide
water based chemistry for ISR applications,” said Janet
Lee-Sheriff, President of Group 11. “We already have successfully
tested the EnviroLeach non-cyanide chemistry on sulfide
concentrates and achieved optimal results in shorter timelines than
cyanide. The recyclability of the environmentally-friendly
chemistry makes it an attractive ingredient in ISR technology and
an alternative to cyanide for gold recovery. Group 11 will commence
first stage lab test work on drill core in the summer of 2021 and
we look forward to advancing our work to develop new solutions for
the mineral extraction industry.”
“We are excited to have entered into a
partnership with Group 11 to advance our Rattlesnake Hills Gold
Project and be part of a technology that could revolutionize the
gold mining industry,” stated Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO
of GFG. “Our Project is the ideal asset to test and optimize Group
11’s technology given the character of the mineralized systems,
significant zones of gold mineralization and the established
permitting path for ISR mining in Wyoming. This is an exciting
development for our shareholders and stakeholders as we work with
our partners to develop and apply ISR technology to gold systems.
Over the last several decades, this technology has been
successfully applied in both uranium and copper mining, driving
significantly reduced development timeframes, lower capital
intensity and materially reduced environmental impacts. We believe
in its potential to be equally applicable to the gold space.”
Terms of the AgreementUnder the
terms of the Agreement, Group 11 has a right to earn 70% interest
in the Project over a six-year period by:
- Incurring a minimum of US$9.5
million in Expenditures.
- Paying 100% of holding and
maintenance costs related to the Project.
- Covering all Expenditures to
advance the Project into commercial production.
- Making staged equity payments to
GFG of Group 11 common stock of up to 9.9% of Group 11’s common
shares issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis.
- Making a cash payment of US$7.5
million.

The Rattlesnake Hills Gold
ProjectThe Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project is a
district-scale gold exploration project located in central Wyoming
approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Casper. Geologically, the
Project is centrally located within a roughly 1,500-kilometre-long
belt of alkalic intrusive complexes that occur along the eastern
side of the Rocky Mountains from Montana to New Mexico, several of
which are associated with multiple gold deposits.
The Project has approximately 100,000 metres
(“m”) of historic drilling which has outlined three significant
zones of alteration and precious metal mineralization that are
associated with Eocene age alkalic intrusions at North Stock,
Antelope Basin and Blackjack. The majority of the drilling has
focused on near-surface, open pit mineralization in the North Stock
and Antelope Basin deposits with highlights that include
intercepts(3) of 1.85 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 236.2 m
hole length; 4.20 g/t Au over 77.7 m hole length; 2.08 g/t Au over
150.9 m hole length and 0.82 g/t Au over 99.1 m hole length. In
addition to the outlined zones of mineralization, the Company
believes that the district is highly prospective and has outlined
several kilometre-scale greenfield targets that have never been
drill tested. These greenfield targets were generated from the
Company’s geophysical and geochemical programs and host strong
similarities to the North Stock and Antelope Basin systems.
(3) Gold intervals reported are based on a 0.20
g/t or 0.50 g/t Au cutoff. Weighted averaging has been used to
calculate all reported intervals. True widths are estimated at
60-100% of drilled thicknesses.
