Nubian Closes Acquisition of Fosterville East & Tasmanian Gold Projects
TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Nubian Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: NBR) ("Nubian" or the "Company") is pleased to 
announce that the Company has closed its acquisition of the Fosterville East 
project, located in Victoria, Australia and the Lefroy and Mathinna projects, 
located in Tasmania, Australia.  The Fosterville East Project (83 km2) is 
located within the Bendigo Structural Zone approximately 10 km east of Kirkland 
Lake Gold's Fosterville Gold Mine and immediately east of a recently lifted 
exploration moratorium area.  The Lefroy Project (28 km2) consists of one 
Retention Licence which covers the historical Pinafore and Chum mines, and one 
Exploration Licence which covers the majority of the remaining historical 
Lefroy Goldfield.  The Mathinna Project (142 km2) consists of four Exploration 
Licences that cover about 30 km of structural trend within the historical 
Alberton-Mathinna Goldfield.

As consideration for the acquisitions, the Company paid AU$2,500,000 comprising 
AU$100,000 (CA$94,900) in cash as a deposit and issued 5,050,000 common shares 
of the Company in accordance with the letter of intent signed in July 2020 (see 
press release dated July 15, 2020).  The common shares issued are subject to a 
statutory hold period of four months and one day in accordance with securities 
laws.  

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company's subsidiary, Blackwood 
Prospecting Pty Ltd., entered into a share Purchase Agreement with Van Diemens 
Gold Limited and Stavely Minerals Limited ("Stavely") for the purchase of all 
of the issued and outstanding shares of Stavely Tasmania Pty Ltd, the owner of 
the Fosterville East project and the Lefroy and Mathinna projects, and a share 
purchase agreement with Lantech Developments Pty Ltd, Long Weekend (QLD) Pty 
Ltd and a private individual for the purchase of all of the issued and 
outstanding shares of Bestlevel Holdings Pty Ltd ("Bestlevel"), the part owner 
of three of Mathinna Exploration Licences. These three Exploration Licences in 
the Mathinna project had been held by Bestlevel and Stavely (as operator) 
pursuant to a farm-in agreement.  

Martin Walter, President & CEO of Nubian, commented, "The finalization of the 
Stavely acquisitions concludes what has been a very good year for Nubian in 
acquiring and expanding its exploration footprint into Australia.  The 
combination of the Fosterville East and the Yandoit Gold Project, located in 
Central Victoria, with the Lefroy and Mathinna projects that have similar 
geology, provide Nubian with a good combination of early exploration and more 
advanced development stage projects.  The Company is looking forward to 2021, a 
year that will focus on exploration activities of these highly prospective 
properties."

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company issued 126,832 common shares 
in the capital of the Company to Peter Huljich as a finder's fee.  Also, in 
connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Yandoit Gold 
Project, which was completed on November 26, 2020, the Company issued 333,333 
common shares in the capital of the Company to Launchpad (Aus) Pty Ltd as a 
finder's fee.
