It is anticipated that the Spin-Out Transaction will be completed pursuant to a plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") and will be subject to TSX Venture Exchange, regulatory and court approval, as well as shareholder approval by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of Falcon Gold shareholders expected to be held in July 2022. Full details of the Spin-Out Transaction will be included in the management information circular to be sent to Falcon Gold shareholders in connection with the Meeting. It is anticipated that Falcon Gold shareholders will be entitled to receive one common share of Latamark for every 3.5 common shares of Falcon Gold held as of the effective date of the Arrangement. No Falcon Gold options or warrants will entitle the holders to receive any shares or other convertible securities of Latamark, except to the extent such holders exercise such options or warrants, as the case may be, to acquire common shares of Falcon Gold prior to the effective date of the Arrangement. There will be no change in shareholders' holdings in Falcon Gold as a result of the Arrangement.

Following completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of Latamark will initially be comprised of Karim Rayani and Fraser Rieche. The management team of Latamark will consist of Karim Rayani as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Balderson as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. It is anticipated as Latamark develops there will be further additions to the senior management team.

The Spin-Out Transaction is designed to create value for Falcon Gold shareholders by allowing Latamark to focus exclusively on the activities required to exercise the option on the Esperanza Project, which comprises seven exploration concessions covering 11,072 hectares in the Sierra de Las Minas District of Argentina's southern La Rioja province. The Company also announces it will not be proceeding with the warrant repricing in connection with a property acquisition dated April 14, 2020 and announced April 21^st

2022 based on TSX.V policy.

Falcon Gold's Chief Executive Officer Karim Rayani commented, "The spin-out of Latamark creates tremendous upside as we enhance shareholder value by leveraging Falcon's shareholder base and creating opportunity outside of North America, while preserving the share capitalization of Falcon. This will enable us to expand into new jurisdictions while Falcon can focus on its Canadian portfolio. We fully expect Latamark to become a platform for other exploration projects in the region adding to the value proposition. We look forward to an aggressive launch in South America.
