About Winshear Gold Corp

In 2019 Winshear acquired the Gaban Gold Project in the Puno region, SE Peru and the Tinka IOCG project in the Ica district, southern Peru, from Palamina Corp. Since then, the Company has discovered and delineated the Coritiri and Yanamayo bedrock gold anomalies at Gaban to an area of about 2.2 km by 1 km. Winshear, formerly Helio Resource Corp., has recently completed an evidentiary hearing in its arbitration case against the government of the Republic of Tanzania to recover its investment in the SMP gold project in Tanzania. The costs of arbitration and associated legal fees are fully covered by an arbitration funding group in return for a share of any proceeds recovered.
