CBLT Inc. (TSXV: CBLT) had a great 2020 with the stock price up 200%. This is because the Company continues to make deals that add value for shareholders and avoids stock dilution, the latest deal being CBLT’s 6.1% share in today’s CSE listing of Ready Set Gold (CSE: RDY) (‘RDY’), a promising gold exploration play. RDY is anticipated to commence trading on January 12, 2021 under the symbol “RDY” on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).
CBLT Inc. offers investors exposure to multiple Canadian cobalt and precious metals projects, an equity share in RDY and any sale proceeds, and management’s strong track record of deal making.
CBLT owns 1,833,333 shares (approximately 6.1%) of RDY. CBLT has received its first release from escrow of 458,333 free-trading shares. There are three remaining escrow releases of the same number of shares, to take place on or about April 18, June 18 and August 18, all in 2021. RDY’s last financing was carried out at C$0.75 per share, giving CBLT’s holding an implicit value of over $1,300,000. CBLT Inc. stands to benefit by selling some of its RDY holdings as it comes out of escrow to mitigate downside risk and holding on to the remainder to ride the ‘gold and Hemlo’ wave.
The Ready Set Gold announcement above gives a good summary of the company quoted below:
- “A basket of gold projects in the Hemlo area in Ontario with a focus on high-grade gold exploration and development potential, including the 100% owned Northshore Gold Project hosting Indicated Resources of 391,000 oz Au in 12.36 million tonnes at a grade of 0.99 g/t and Inferred Resources of 824,000 oz Au in 29.58 million tonnes at 0.87 g/t Au using a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t Au. (NI43-101 Technical Report – 2014).
- A proven team of public company executives and explorers focusing on profitable exits for shareholders.
- Low share float of 29.8 million shares outstanding and 37.1 million shares fully diluted.”

The background on this deal involved CBLT Inc. selling its 56% share of the Northshore Gold Property Joint Venture to Omni Commerce Corp. (“Omni“). For the sale CBLT Inc. received $350,000 in cash and $1,100,000 in common shares of Omni. Subsequently RDY formed out of an amalgamation agreement dated August 12, 2020, between Omni and RDY, effectively meaning CBLT Inc. became a RDY equity holder.
A deeper look at Ready Set Gold (‘RDY’)
RDY states that its mission is to discover, expand, develop high grade, economic gold deposits on proven and prolific greenstone belts in Canada with an initial focus on Ontario. As mentioned above in the CBLT announcement RDY has already discovered significant gold ounces, or as reported in their presentation a total of 1.22 million ounces. The indicative market cap for the initial listing is C$22 million fully diluted, which gives a market cap per ounce of US$18/oz, well below most competitors. Of course RDY is a new listing and has a significant percentage of their gold still in the lower Inferred category, so this must be taken into consideration when comparing to peers.
2021 will see Phase 1 drilling of 3,000 meters of infill drilling and upgrading of the Inferred Resource. This will be followed by Phase 2 drilling of another 3,000 meters, including of new targets. This should lead to plenty of news flow in H1 2021.
