Sassy Gold Rush News From Newfoundland Sassy Resources Corporation (“Sassy” or the “Company”) (CSE: SASY) (OTCQB: SSYRF) (FSE: 4E7) is pleased to announce that through its subsidiary, Gander Gold Corp.,the Company has dramatically expanded its Newfoundland property holdings from 156 sq. km to 1,381 sq. km. The multiple new claim blocks, optioned from prospector Shawn Ryan and Wildwood Exploration Inc., establish Sassy and Gander Gold as a significant force in the Newfoundland Gold Rush triggered by New Found Gold’s high-grade Keats Zone discovery. Gander Gold has also arranged a $1.5 million non-brokered private placement to fund an initial phase of exploration and drilling ahead of a planned listing on a Canadian exchange.
Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: “Building on our initial strategic acquisitions in the heart of the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, where we have already secured our first drill permit, Sassy and its Gander Gold subsidiary have leveraged Shawn Ryan’s first-mover advantage in Newfoundland by optioning from one of Canada’s most famous prospectors several district scale land packages comprising 1,225 sq. km. These very under-explored large claim blocks, now considered even more prospective given recent district developments, were all staked by Shawn based on extensive research and discovery models that led to his great success in the Yukon. We’re also excited to welcome Shawn on board as a technical advisor, joining recent addition Terry Coughlan (GoGold Resources’ co-founder). We look forward to the GroundTruth exploration team hitting the ground running on all of Sassy’s properties in Newfoundland. GroundTruth have already mobilized to the island and bring with them their innovative Drones to Drills® exploration techniques."
