Winshear Gold Corp. Moves Forward with Thunder Bay Project
Winshear Gold Corp. is making significant strides in its operations as it embarks on the Thunder Bay Gold Project. On July 17, 2025, the company received the much-anticipated final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) for its property option agreement. This enables Winshear to earn a full 100% interest in the expansive 360 km2 Thunder Bay Gold Project, which is strategically situated just northeast of the vibrant city of Thunder Bay.
Strategic Financial Commitment to Project Development
As part of this deal, Winshear has committed to issuing 100,000 shares to each of the two vendors involved in the transaction. To ensure a successful exploration phase, the company must meet minimum expenditures of $250,000 within the initial six months. Additionally, a further $250,000 must be spent prior to the second anniversary of the TSXV approval.
Advance Royalty Payments Structure
Winshear’s agreements include a structured advance royalty payment plan to the vendors, which outlines annual payments distributed over a designated timeframe. The company is required to pay:
- $50,000 annually from the 5th to the 9th anniversaries of TSXV approval, with an option for the company to issue shares instead of cash, given certain conditions are met.
- $60,000 annually from the 10th through the 14th anniversaries.
- A one-time payment of $500,000 due by the 15th anniversary of the TSXV approval.
The shares to be issued as part of the payment will be valued based on a volume weighted average price over ten trading days prior to the relevant anniversary date, ensuring a fair market approach.
Significant Shares Issuance upon Milestone Achievement
The company has laid out plans to issue an additional 250,000 common shares to the vendors following the successful filing of an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate that reveals a minimum of one million ounces of gold equivalent on the Thunder Bay Gold Project.
Exploration Ambitions and Project Scope
In a bold move to cement its presence in the region, Winshear has also acquired rights to a total of 1,500 claims, equating to an impressive project area of 315 square kilometers. This rapid expansion underscores the company’s commitment to exploration and highlights the potential opportunities that lie ahead in this resource-rich area.
Leadership Enhancements to Drive Future Growth
In a strategic boost to its governance, the company has granted 250,000 stock options to recently appointed board member Andrew MacRitchie. These options are exercisable over a five-year period at a price of $0.13 per share, reflecting Winshear's confidence in MacRitchie's contributions to the board.
