SXTY 2F SXNTF (the "Company" or "Sixty North Gold") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with New Discovery Mines Ltd. ("NDM") whereby it will appoint Dr. David Webb, Ph.D., P.Geol., P.Eng. (the principal of NDM) as the President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company's right to earn an 80% interest in the Mon Gold Property by incurring Expenditures of at least $6.0 million on the Mon Gold Property (of which $2.2 million has already been incurred) by December 31, 2020 has been revised to the following:

NDM will also receive additional common shares of Sixty North Gold to maintain its twenty-five percent (25%) interest of the total issued and outstanding shares of Sixty North Gold, until the total expenditures specifically for the exploration and development of the A-Zone on the Mon Gold Property reaches a total of $6.0 million.

The closing of the above transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the execution of definitive agreements, all required board and shareholder approvals, and any required regulatory approval due to the contemplated change of control of the Company.

Dr. Webb is a recognized expert in Yellowknife Geology and gold deposits. He is credited with discovering both the largest granitic hosted gold deposit in the Northwest Territories, and the largest gold deposit in the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt in the past 40 years. He served as president and director of Tyhee Gold Corp. where he and his team developed a high-grade gold deposit into production; Mongolia's first hard rock gold mine, and advanced the Yellowknife Gold Project through Feasibility Studies and into permitting. He and his team brought the Mon Gold Mine into production in the 1990's, shutting down when gold prices declined below US$300 per ounce. In 2014 he obtained permits to restart this mine. Over the past 40 years he has worked world-wide consulting, has sat on the executive and boards of five other public junior companies and is a member of the advisory and finance committees for British Columbia's Centre for Training Excellence in Mining.
