Sarama Resources has executed a binding agreement with Orbminco to acquire a majority and controlling interest in the 420km² Mt Venn Gold Project in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. This acquisition, combined with their recent Cosmo Project acquisition, creates a significant 1,000km² landholding in the prolific Laverton Gold District.

The Mt Venn Project, located 35km west of the Gruyere Gold Mine, captures the underexplored Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt over ~50km strike length. Gold was first discovered there in the 1920s, with multiple gold occurrences identified since then. The project area shows potential for gold, base metals, and platinum group elements.

As consideration, Orbminco will receive 12,000,000 Chess Depository Instruments (CDIs) in Sarama. The project operates under a joint venture structure with Cazaly Resources holding a 20% interest. The transaction completion is subject to various conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and Sarama Board approval.

Sarama Resources has completed the issuance of shares for debt settlement, issuing 13,132,706 Chess Depository Interests (CDIs) at A$0.03 per CDI, totaling A$393,981.18. This arrangement was implemented to settle deferred executive salaries and director fees.

The issuance received both TSXV and shareholder approval at a special meeting on February 4, 2025. The CDIs are subject to a 4-month and one-day TSXV hold period from the issue date. The transaction qualifies as a 'related party transaction' under MI 61-101, with an exemption from formal valuation and minority approval requirements due to the fair market value being below 25% of the company's market capitalization.

This debt-to-equity conversion will help reduce the company's liabilities. The CDIs represent beneficial interests in common shares and rank equally with existing CDIs.

Sarama Resources has completed the final tranche of its previously announced A$2m equity placement. Tranche 2 consisted of 16,666,666 free attaching unlisted options and 14,000,000 broker options, each exercisable at A$0.09 and expiring on November 30, 2028. This follows the first tranche completed on November 29, 2024, which raised A$2,000,000 through issuing 66,666,666 CDIs at A$0.03 per CDI.

The placement was made to institutional and sophisticated investors, with shareholder approval received on February 4, 2025. No Board or Management members subscribed to the CDIs. The funds will be used for exploration activities, working capital, and administration costs. No finders' fees were paid for Tranche 2, and the placement awaits final TSX Venture Exchange approval.
