The Company's outstanding common shares are listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "WINS-V".
• On June 10, 2021, the Company submitted its drill permit application for the first ever drill program at the Coritiri gold zone within the Gaban gold project.
• On July 5, 2021, the Company announced the results of a further 199 bedrock channel samples from the Gaban gold project that revealed a new emerging gold anomaly and refined definition of the existing Coritiri anomaly.
• On July 15, 2021, the Company filed its Memorial with ICSID outlining the nature and quantum of its claims against the Government of Tanzania for the expropriation of the Company's retention licenses in the amount of $124,781,945, including interest which continues to accrue.
On September 19, 2019, the Company acquired the Gaban gold project and the Tinka iron oxide copper-gold project, both located in Peru, from Palamina Corp. ("Palamina"). In exchange, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares during the year ended March 31, 2020 and 5,000,000 common shares during the year ended March 31, 2021. The Company paid two annual royalty payments to Palamina, $25,000 USD each on September 19, 2020 and September 19, 2021. The payment amounts double every two years until the Company has completed 5,000 metres ("m") of drilling or has abandoned the properties. For the $25,000 USD annual royalty payment due September 19, 2021 and other exploration costs payable of $8,700 USD for a total payable of $33,700 USD, the Company agreed to issue to Palamina 525,000 common shares at a price of $0.08 for total consideration of $42,000. These shares were issued October 8, 2021. Palamina retains a 2% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on each property. The Company has the right to purchase 50% of each royalty by making a cash payment of $1,000,000 USD to Palamina at any time prior to the commencement of commercial production. The Gaban Property covers an area of 18,234 hectares surrounding the town of San Gaban in the Puno orogenic gold belt. San Gaban, sitting at an elevation of 550m above sea level, is served by excellent infrastructure; it is a four-hour drive via the Trans-Oceanic Highway to the Puerto Maldonado airport and a nearby 206 megawatt hydro-electric dam provides power to the town. Palamina completed an initial aeromagnetic survey and acquired the concessions in 2018. Palamina conducted geological mapping, stream sediment sampling, and bedrock sampling that defined the coinciding aeromagnetic, stream sediment, and bedrock gold anomalies. Gold is hosted in auriferous quartz veins associated with shear zones in meta-sedimentary rocks. During 2019 and 2020, Winshear conducted multiple field programs which focused on confirming and enlarging the Coritiri bedrock gold anomaly. By March 31, 2020, a total of 705 channel samples were collected with highlights including 15.75 gram per tonne ("g/t") Au over 1m, 5.72 g/t Au over 2.5m, and 5.7 g/t Au over 1m. Mineralized veins extend over an area of 900m by 2,000m, which is currently open especially to the south and east. The mineralized area correlates strongly with an east-southeast trending aeromagnetic anomaly.
From April and May 2021, the Company completed bedrock channel sampling programs. Of the 199 samples taken, 47 samples contain greater than 0.05 g/t Au. The greatest assay value returned 32.35 g/t Au and it is the highest Au assay collected from the Gaban property to date. An emerging new gold zone 500m northwest of the main Coritiri anomaly returned three anomalous gold values including 6.95 g/t Au. From June - September 2021, the Company completed an additional 216 bedrock channel samples. Of the 216 samples taken, 32 samples contain greater than 0.05 g/t Au. The greatest assay value returned 4.18 g/t Au. The 2021 sampling added important details about the gold-bearing shear zones at Gaban which will help to improve drill hole targeting. On June 10, 2021, the Company submitted its Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (the "DIA"), the suite of environmental and social studies required ahead of any drilling at the Gaban property. The DIA allows for the construction of up to 40 drill pads and covers the 900m by 2,000m Coritiri target. The Cortiri target has never been drill tested and Winshear aspires to commence a drill program as soon as the permits are received. The Tinka iron oxide-copper-gold project is an early-stage exploration target that covers an area of 1,800 hectares. It is located 45 kilometres ("km") southeast of the town of Ica at an elevation of 2,000m and is 300km southeast of Lima along the Pan-American highway. The Company has applied for licenses on ground recently opened for new concessions to augment its land position. From 2005 to 2017, the Company had acquired, explored, and owned a 100% interest in the Saza, Illunga, Gap and Kwaheri Retention Licenses, all within the Luna Goldfields in southwest Tanzania. The Tanzanian government has since expropriated all of the Retention License through a series of actions from 2017 to late 2019. Consequently, Winshear has initiated international arbitration proceedings in accordance with the 2013 Agreement for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between Canada and Tanzania. The Company is seeking compensation for the value lost to Winshear as a result from the expropriation.
On December 7, 2020, the Company secured litigation funding in an agreement with an affiliate of Delta Capital Management LLC ("Delta"), a US-based global private equity and advisory firm specializing in litigation and legal finance (the "Funding Agreement"). Under the Funding Agreement, the Company can draw funds from the financing facility to meet all fees and expenses relating to the pursuit of certain claims against the Government of Tanzania. In exchange, Delta is entitled to a portion of any proceeds awarded to the Company. On July 15, 2021, the Company filed its Memorial with the ICSID, outlining the nature and quantum of its claims against the Government of Tanzania for the expropriation of the Company's retention licenses. The arbitration case will be heard by a three-person tribunal and is expected to conclude in 2023. The Memorial provides the basis for compensation to Winshear in the amount of $124,781,945, including interest which continues to accrue. There is no guarantee of a positive outcome in favour of the Company. On December 1, 2021, the Company 7,536,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $753,600 under a private placement financing. Each unit comprised of one common share and half a warrant. Each full warrant is convertible into one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 and expire December 1, 2024. Proceeds from the financing will be used for exploration, corporate development and general working capital purposes.
