Anaconda Mining Announces Planned Name Change To Signal Gold Inc.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2022 / Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX:ANX)(OTCQX:ANXGF) is pleased to announce that it plans to seek approval at its next annual general and special meeting of shareholders to change its name to "Signal Gold Inc.".

"The name change to Signal Gold Inc. reflects the near-term growth potential of the Company and better reflects our commodity focus, our history, and our progress in the top-tier mining jurisdiction of Atlantic Canada. The Company is poised for transformational growth with the advancement of the Goldboro Gold Project over the coming years and remains on track to file the Environmental Assessment Registration Document in Q2 2022. The recently published Phase 1 Open Pit Feasibility Study¹ outlines robust economics at a base case C$2,000 gold price (US$1,600) with an after-tax NPV 5% of $328 million and an IRR of 25.5%. At a gold price of C$2,400 (US$1,860), the Project would generate an after-tax NPV 5% of over $550 million and an IRR of 37.5%¹.

We also continue to operate the Point Rousse operation in Newfoundland, leveraging the mining infrastructure developed over more than 10 years of sustainable and responsible production. And with the continued advancement of the Stog'er Tight Deposit, we believe the Point Rouse Project has the potential for continued cash generation for several years.

The name change to Signal Gold Inc. and the related rebranding exercise will provide an opportunity to position ourselves anew with all stakeholders as a growing and sustainable gold producer."

~Kevin Bullock, President and Chief Executive Officer

The Company will seek approval for the name change at the Annual and Special General Meeting scheduled for May 12, 2022, at 10:00 AM EST. The name change is also subject to all applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
