TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2018 — Stratabound Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SB) (“Stratabound” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has made the required payments of cash and shares to continue the Golden Culvert and Little Hyland options through September 27, 2019. Per the terms of the option agreements, Stratabound has paid the Optionors a total of $80,000 in cash and 1,355,934 common shares of Stratabound.
The Company has also taken actions to reduce its debt obligations. First, the Company has converted one of its notes to Bellport Resources Ltd. into shares by making an election provided to Stratabound under the note and issuing 2,400,000 common shares at $0.05 per share to extinguish the $120,000 note. The remaining $130,000 note remains in place and has been extended until June 30, 2019. Additionally, as part of our continuing effort to reduce accounts payable incurred prior to the 2016 reorganization and management changes, Stratabound has agreed to issue 1,386,972 shares to two creditors to settle obligations totaling $76,283 which dated back as far as 2014, at a deemed price of $0.055.
All shares issued as described above will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day.
President and CEO, R. Kim Tyler commented, “We are pleased that we have been able to continue the Golden Culvert and Little Hyland options for another year, as we look forward to receiving the results of the drilling we conducted at the property this summer. We have also made significant strides in cleaning up our balance sheet by settling with several of the old creditors, and by exercising our conversion rights with respect to the Bellport note.”
About the Golden Culvert and Little Hyland Properties
Golden Culvert and Little Hyland cover 83.8 square kilometres in the southeast Yukon Territory across a 24-kilometre strike located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of and parallel to Golden Predator Mining Corp.’s 3 Aces property.

The soil anomaly is centred around partially exposed primary gold-bearing quartz veins grading between 7.7 to 22.8 gpt gold over 1 metre and complimentary gold-bearing quartz vein stockwork within a larger silicified, altered, sulphide and gold-bearing wallrock grading up to 2.27 gpt gold over 0.5 metre.
