Gold79 Announces Closing of Private Placement Financing

Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) ("Gold79" or the "Company") announces that it has closed its non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of $288,500 with the issuance of a total of 2,885,000 units at $0.10 per unit (the "Offering"). Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant. A total of 1,442,500 warrants were issued entitling the holders to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share until November 25, 2022.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid eligible finders cash commissions in the amount of $1,410 and an aggregate of 14,100 finder warrants ("Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the finder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.15 and is exercisable until November 25, 2022.

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 March 26, 2021.

A director of the Company, Derek Macpherson, participated in the private placement and acquired 100,000 units for $10,000. The participation of this insider 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 insider nor the consideration paid by the insider 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; the Jefferson Canyon, Nevada project; the Tip Top Gold, 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.
