Fortune Minerals Announces Second Draw From Convertible Securities Agreement With The Lind Partners

Proceeds to provide working capital & pre-fund government supported work programs

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX: FT) (OTCQB: FTMDF) (" Fortune " or the " Company ") ( www.fortuneminerals.com ) is pleased to announce that it has drawn down an additional C$1,575,000 (the " Second Convertible Security ") from its convertible security funding agreement with Lind Global Fund II, LP, managed by The Lind Partners (together, " Lind ") (see news release dated May 22, 2024). The proceeds from this Second Convertible Security drawdown will be used for general working capital purposes and to pre-fund some of the government supported work on the vertically integrated NICO Cobalt-Gold-Bismuth-Copper Critical Minerals Project (" NICO Project ") (see news releases dated, May 16, 2024, and December 5, 2023). Development of the NICO Project would provide a reliable North American supply of cobalt sulphate, gold doré, bismuth ingots, and copper cement enhancing domestic supply chains for three Critical Minerals with a highly liquid and countercyclical gold co-product to mitigate metal price volatility.

The Second Convertible Security has a two-year term, a face value of C$1,890,000 and is secured by a lien against the Company's assets. Lind will be entitled to incrementally convert the face value amount of the Second Convertible Security over a 24-month period, subject to certain limits, at a conversion price equal to 85% of the five-day trailing volume weighted average price of Fortune's shares (" VWAP ") prior to the date of conversion. Commencing 60 days after the shares issuable under this convertible security become free trading, Fortune has the right to repurchase the Second Convertible Security, subject to Lind's option to convert up to one third of the face value into Fortune common shares prior to such repurchase at a conversion price equal to 85% of the 5-day VWAP. Lind will also receive a closing fee of C$60,000 and 16,338,174 common share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.0609 per common share for 60 months from the date of issuance after closing.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities will not be and have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
