Marudi Mountain Gold Project Update
Golden Shield has noted increased activity by miners operating within the Mazoa Hill Special Mining Permit ("MHSMP"), that is located within the Marudi Mountain Property. The MHSMP was granted for a five-year term that is due to expire in November 2026, at which time the Company's previously existing rights under its Prospecting License ("PL") will come back into effect. The MHSMP has a limited average depth of 48 meters that equates to an elevation of 376 meters above mean sea level, below which artisanal mining is prohibited.
Corporate Initiatives
Golden Shield has been extremely proactive in striving to derive value for the Marudi Mountain Property and has received interest from several third parties. The Company is committed to this process as it awaits the fourth annual renewal of Marudi Mountain Project PL and has applied for an extension of the renewal process.
Given market conditions, the Company has been operating under a restricted budget and has implemented a renewed round of cost cutting. Accordingly, the Company has withdrawn from all field activities at the Marudi Mountain Property while it reviews alternatives.
