American Eagle Signs Exploration Agreement with Lake Babine Nation for its NAK Copper-Gold Project

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2022 - American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) ("American Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an Exploration Agreement ("Agreement") with Lake Babine First Nation ("Lake Babine") in central British Columbia. The Agreement establishes commitments for a respectful relationship between American Eagle Gold and the Lake Babine to explore in the NAK Copper-Gold district.

American Eagle Gold's NAK Copper-Gold Project, located 80 km northeast of Smithers in central BC, lies within Lake Babine traditional territory. The Agreement was negotiated by American Eagle and Lake Babine representatives and defines how a respectful and productive engagement between the parties should proceed, as well as an approach for cooperative planning and pursuing mutual benefit.

"American Eagle values the relationship it has built with Lake Babine, and is respectful of the Nation's culture, deep-rooted traditions and aspirations for sustainable economic growth and prosperity," said Anthony Moreau, American Eagle Gold CEO.

The NAK project is permitted to drill, with a planned 4,000-metre diamond drilling program expected to commence in the coming days. NAK is in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District of British Columbia (click here to view) and is a classic porphyry target that exhibits all the signs of a large copper-gold system. There known copper-gold porphyry mineralization at NAK is open at depth and is defined by a compelling geophysical signature analogous to Newcrest's Red Chris Mine and Newmont's Saddle deposit located in Northwest BC.
