Getchell Gold Corp. Files Answer and Counterclaim
Regarding Mining Claims Title, Fondaway Canyon, NV
Vancouver, BC – April 27, 2026 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (FWB: GGA1) ("Getchell" or the "Company") is providing an update on legal proceedings in relation to claim staking conducted by NV Minerals Corp. (“NV Minerals”), a private Nevada registered corporation, on land coincident with and overlapping certain of the Company’s existing claims at the Fondaway Canyon gold project (“Fondaway” or “Project”) in Nevada.
Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Company, through its wholly owned US subsidiary Getchell Gold Nevada, Inc., removed the lawsuit filed by NV Minerals to the United States Federal District Court, District of Nevada, and filed its verified answer and counterclaims. Getchell is asserting counterclaims for quiet title and declaratory relief.
Getchell’s filing is in response to the complaint filed against Getchell by NV Minerals (refer to Company news dated Feb. 23 and April 6, 2026). NV Mineral’s complaint alleges claims for quiet title and declaratory relief related to mining claims based on a purported “long ago” forfeiture of claims.
In Getchell’s opinion, the NV Minerals complaint is without merit. The mineral claims tenure at Fondaway has been continuously held and maintained by Getchell (and predecessors) in an uninterrupted manner since the mid 1950’s as is presently reflected in the claims’ good and active standing in the records of both the United States' Bureau of Land Management and Churchill County. Therefore, it is Getchell’s position the NV Minerals claims are junior in time and right to the Getchell claims and purport to cover lands that were not open to staking at the time of their purported location.
Getchell will continue to develop the Project as originally planned and is moving ahead in 2026 to:
1.) Complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate;
2.) Complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment; and
3.) File a Comprehensive Plan of Operations with the relevant regulatory authorities to accelerate development at Fondaway (see Company news release date March 19, 2026).
