  IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

Aldebaran Resources Inc. (TSXV:ALDE) (" Aldebaran " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered unit private placement offering (the " Offering "). An aggregate of 20,858,573 units (the " Units ") were sold under the Offering at a price of $0.45 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $9,386,358. Each Unit consists of one common share (" Common Shares ") in the capital of the Company and one-half of one warrant (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.70 until May 3, 2023. All dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in Canadian currency.

The Company's two largest shareholders, being Sibanye Stillwater Limited (" Sibanye Stillwater ") and certain funds controlled by Route One Investment Company LLC (" Route One "), have each exercised their rights under their respective Investment Agreements with the Company to subscribe for their pro-rata share of the Offering. Route One currently owns approximately 46.34% of the outstanding Common Shares and Sibanye Stillwater owns approximately 19.90%. Management of the Company subscribed for approximately 5.33% of the Offering.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used towards the ongoing drill program at the Company's Altar copper-gold project in Argentina, and for general corporate purposes. The Company is currently executing a drill program at Altar, targeting deeper extensions of known higher-grade mineralization. The Company intends to continue to drill until the end of the field season, which is typically in May.

The Units were offered and sold by way of private placement exemptions in various provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions, and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. An aggregate of $132,438 and 294,308 broker's warrants (issued on the same terms as the Warrants) was paid to certain finders, including Paradigm Capital Inc., in respect to portions of the Offering. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring on September 3, 2021.

As noted above, certain insiders of Aldebaran acquired securities in the Offering. Any such participation would be considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The Company is relying on certain exemptions in 61-101 based on the size of the Offering in connection therewith.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein in the United States. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to the account or benefit of a U.S. person absent an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

About Aldebaran Resources Inc.

Aldebaran is a mineral exploration company that was spun out of Regulus Resources Inc. in 2018 and has the same core management team. Aldebaran acquired the Rio Grande copper-gold project located in Salta Province, Argentina from Regulus along with several other early-stage projects in Argentina. Aldebaran also has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina from Sibanye Stillwater. The Altar project hosts multiple porphyry copper-gold deposits with potential for additional discoveries. Altar forms part of a cluster of world-class porphyry copper deposits which includes Los Pelambres (Antofagasta Minerals), El Pachon (Glencore), and Los Azules (McEwen Mining). A total of 259 drill holes (119,052 m) have been completed at Altar between 1995 and 2019. In March 2021 the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Altar, prepared by Independent Mining Consultants Inc. and based on the drilling completed up to and including 2020. The Company is in the process of finalizing the NI 43-101 Technical Report and will file it on SEDAR once completed. Aldebaran's primary focus is the Altar project with a view to discovering new zones with higher-grade mineralization.
