(SeaPRwire) –   VANCOUVER, BC, April 6, 2026 – Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (FWB: GGA1) (“Getchell” or the “Company”) is issuing an update regarding claim staking activities by NV Minerals Corp. (“NV Minerals“). NV Minerals, a private entity registered in Nevada, has staked claims that overlap with several of the Company’s current holdings at the Fondaway Canyon gold project (“Fondaway” or the “Project”) located in Nevada.

The Company has been informed by its U.S. legal advisors that a complaint has been lodged against Getchell by NV Minerals in Churchill County, Nevada. This legal action seeks declaratory relief and quiet title for the mining claims, asserting a supposed forfeiture that occurred “long ago.”

Getchell maintains that the mineral claim titles at Fondaway have been consistently held and managed without interruption by the Company and its predecessors since the mid-1950s. This status is currently confirmed by the active and valid standing of the claims in the official records of Churchill County and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Getchell plans to submit a robust legal defense and a counterclaim in response to the filing by NV Minerals. This response is currently under preparation and must be submitted within 21 days of the Company receiving formal service.

Development of the Project will proceed according to the original schedule, with Getchell moving forward in 2026 to file a Comprehensive Plan of Operations with the appropriate regulators to fast-track progress at Fondaway (refer to the Company’s news release from March 19, 2026).
