"With the close of this first tranche, Snowline is well funded to explore through the next two field seasons," said Scott Berdahl, CEO and director of Snowline. "The funds also allow us to accelerate our exploration plan, effectively bringing drill holes we'd anticipated for 2023 into the current season, and from 2024 into 2023. We are grateful for the ongoing support of Crescat Capital and of other shareholders who made this transformative financing possible amidst challenging capital market conditions."

The FT Shares do not involve warrants, and they are supported by strong back-end Snowline investors who do not receive the flow-through benefits. *Note that the second tranche of the financing has not yet closed and is still on track for an anticipated close date of August 2, 2022.

The gross proceeds from the issue and sale of Units will be used to support advancement of exploration on the Company's Yukon Territory mineral properties and for general and working capital purposes.
