Empire Metals Limited, the AIM-quoted resource exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that the resolution approving the sale of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary GMC Investments Limited ('GMCIL'), to Candelaria Mining Corporation (TSXV: CAND), was duly passed.

As announced on 26 October 2020, Empire has concluded a definitive and binding Sale and Purchase Agreement (subject to certain conditions) for the sale of the GMCIL, to Candelaria Mining Corporation, for an all-equity total consideration of 7 million Canadian dollars ('CAD'), with an initial payment of CAD 2 million (the 'Initial Consideration') plus additional payments subject to certain milestones being achieved in Georgia.

About Empire Metals Limited

Empire Metals' primary focus is on the Eclipse Gold Project in Western Australia which produced 954 tonnes @ 24.6 g/t Au for 754.25 oz Au from the Eclipse shaft which operated up to 1910. In addition to the known mineralisation at and surrounding the Eclipse old workings, recent geophysics and geochemistry work has highlighted further potential mineralisation at two additional targets north-west of Eclipse, the Houdini and Easy prospects.

The Company also has a 50% joint venture in Georgia which covers an area of over 860 sq km and has a 30-year mining licence. The joint venture covers a variety of targets and projects ranging from greenfield exploration / target definition phase through intermediate target-testing phases to more advanced projects including Kvemo Bolnisi East which is due to advance to Feasibility Study.

The Board continues to evaluate opportunities through which to realise the value of its wider portfolio and reviews further assets which meet the Company's investment criteria.
