(TheNewswire)

October 19, 2021 TheNewswire - Toronto, ON Further to its press releases dated September 28, 2021 and October 4, 2021, Otso Gold Corp. (" Otso " or the " Company "), (TSXV:OTSO) (OTC:FIEIF) is pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 105,650,000 units (each, a " Unit ") to Brunswick Gold Ltd (" BGL ") at a price of $0.06 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of US$5,000,000 (the " Offering "). Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a " Common Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.08 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The proceeds from the Offering will be deployed by Otso to continue its ramp up to production and for working capital during production.

Additionally, the Company is pleased to confirm that the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report prepared by John T Boyd Company, the summary of which was announced on August 20, 2021, has been filed on SEDAR.

The Offering is considered a ‘related party transaction' within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and majority of minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in respect to completing the Offering, as the fair market value of BGL's participation was not be more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Caution

The Company cautions that it has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves for the Otso Mine Project and mineralization estimates may therefore require adjustment or downward revision based upon further exploration or development work or actual production experience. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Company also cautions that the decision by the Company to proceed to develop the Otso Mine Project and extract mineralization proceeded without the Company first establishing reserves supported by a technical report and completing a pre-feasibility or feasibility study. Accordingly, there is a higher risk of technical and economic failure at Otso because development proceeded without first establishing reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study. This is particularly relevant as the Company has proceeded with development at Otso on indicated and inferred resources without first completing a preliminary economic report.
