Fairchild Gold Corp. (TSX-V: FAIR) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire a 100% interest in the Golden Arrow Project, an advanced-stage gold property located along Nevada's Walker Lane Shear Zone, for US$5 million. The transaction, valued at roughly US$12 per ounce of gold in the ground, will expand Fairchild's total land position by 170% to 64.5 km² through the addition of Golden Arrow and the Nevada Titan Project.
The Golden Arrow Project hosts a historic resource of 420,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.75 g/t and has undergone extensive exploration totaling more than 61,000 meters of drilling. Under the proposed terms, Fairchild will issue 12.5 million shares, a US$3.5 million secured note, and a 0.5% NSR royalty to Emergent Metals Corp. upon completion of the deal. As part of the transaction, Fairchild will also appoint veteran mining engineer Guy Lauzier—formerly with Barrick, Newmont, and Agnico Eagle—as Technical Director to advance development of the project.
This acquisition is significant for Fairchild Gold as it strengthens its portfolio in Nevada, a mining-friendly jurisdiction. The addition of the Golden Arrow Project, with its existing resource base and substantial drilling history, provides a solid foundation for future exploration and development. The appointment of Guy Lauzier, a seasoned mining engineer with experience at major mining companies, underscores Fairchild's commitment to advancing the project efficiently.
