Galleon Gold Corporate Update
Toronto, March 31, 2020 - Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the "Company" or "Galleon Gold") provides a corporate update in connection with the Company's filing of its year-ended 2019 financial statements and recent market volatility.
The Company recognizes that the recent COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges to its shareholders, employees and service providers. Galleon Gold reports it is well positioned to weather the next several months and, pending the lifting of travel and work restrictions, will look to commence exploration on its West Cache Gold Project. The project is located 13 kilometers from Timmins, Ontario, is on trend with other major mines in the area and hosts a one-million-ounce gold resource.
At the end of 2019, the Company raised one million dollars in a flow-through financing. Those funds have been earmarked for an infill exploration drill program at the West Cache Gold Project. The Company plans to conserve capital in the short term while continuing to select targets for the upcoming drill program.
The Company has filed its year-ended November 30, 2019 financial statements on SEDAR and its website www.galleongold.com. The Company's shareholders approved a rolling 10% stock option plan at its Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders on December 11, 2019. Historically, the Company issues options to directors, employees, and consultants following the filing of the year-end statements. Today the Company announces that 10,850,000 options have been granted to certain directors, employees and consultants. The options are priced at $0.05, vest immediately and expire five years from the date of issue.
