Gold79 Announces Closing of Private Placement Financing

Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) (OTCQB: AUSVF) ("Gold79" or the "Company") announces that it has closed its non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of $1,293,704 with the issuance of a total of 21,561,733 units at $0.06 per unit (the "Offering"). Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant. A total of 10,780,866 warrants were issued entitling the holders to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share until December 15, 2024.


Derek Macpherson, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to complete this financing during this weak time in the gold market. We are thankful for the ongoing support of our existing shareholders, in particular, the continued support of our institutional shareholders, who were major contributors to this financing."

In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay eligible finders cash commissions in the amount of $4,950 and an aggregate of 82,500 finder warrants ("Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the finder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 and is exercisable until December 15, 2024.

The Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period until April 16, 2022.

Officers of the Company including Derek Macpherson and John McNeice participated in the private placement and acquired 1,850,000 units for $111,000. The participation of these insiders in the private placement constitutes a Related Party Transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The board of directors of the Company, with Mr. Macpherson abstaining, determined that the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for the related party transaction, as neither the fair market value of securities issued to the insiders nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceeded 25 percent of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the transaction 21 days in advance of the closing of the private placement because insider participation had not been confirmed. The shorter period was necessary in order to permit the Company to close the private placement in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.

The proceeds raised under the Offering will be used for exploration expenditures related to the Gold Chain, Arizona project and the Jefferson Canyon, Nevada project; and, for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The offered securities will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons, except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, securities of the Company in the United States.

Gold79 Is Set to Drill Its Gold Chain Project in Early 2023

Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) (OTCQB: AUSVF) ("Gold79" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is ready to execute a 1,100 meter drill program at its Gold Chain Project, in Arizona in early 2023. The Company has secured a drill contractor and completed site preparation to commence drilling in early 2023. The drill program will focus on following up the high-grade sampling results from Sheep Trail and demonstrating the strike extent of the Tyro vein system to the southwest.

Derek Macpherson, President, CEO & Director stated, "Our recent financing, the option agreement with Kinross at Jefferson Canyon and sale of non-core assets have strengthened the Company's balance sheet and allows Gold79 to undertake this 1,100-meter drill program at the Company's Gold Chain Project in Arizona. While we view demonstrating the strike extent of the Tyro vein as a logical step towards developing a resource, I believe that following up on high-grade sampling results at Sheep Trail, approximately 2 kilometers away from our 2021 high-grade drill results in the Banner area, could go a long way toward demonstrating the higher-grade nature and overall scale of the Gold Chain project."
