/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES /

Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (" Finlay " or the " Company ") announces the re-pricing of the proposed non-brokered flow-through private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $300,000 (the " Private Placement ") previously announced on October 28, 2021 .

The Private Placement will now consist of up to 2,307,692 flow-through units (" FT Units "), at a price of $0.13 per FT Unit (the " FT Unit Price "), with each FT Unit comprising one common share of the Company which qualifies as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act ( Canada ) and one Unit Warrant.

Each Unit Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company (each, a " Warrant Share ") at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four months from the closing of the Private Placement.  The Private Placement is now expected to close on or about November 18, 2021 .

The Company also advises that a director of the Company has agreed to subscribe for and purchase from the Company 1,153,846 FT Units under the Private Placement.  The Private Placement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSX-V ") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 ") as a result of the subscriber being a director and insider (as defined under applicable securities laws) of the Company.

Related party transactions require a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval unless exemptions from these requirements are available.  The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (as a result of its common shares being listed on the TSX-V) and the exemption from the minority approval requirement in section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 (as neither the fair market value of the FT Units to be distributed to, nor the consideration to be paid by the director will exceed $2,500,000 ).  The Private Placement has been unanimously approved by the independent directors of the Company, with the subscribing director abstaining from voting.

The Private Placement is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX-V.  Further, depending on market conditions, the Company may pay a finder's fee on a portion of the Private Placement in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX-V.

The securities being offered will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States .
