Company") is pleased to
announce a non-brokered private placement of: (i) flow-through
common shares at a price of C$0.33 per share (each
a
“FT Share”); and (ii) common shares in the
capital of the Company at a price of C$0.30 per common share
(each a “
Common Share”), and

“We are very appreciative for the continued
support for our exciting and impactful exploration activities to
advance our significant gold deposit and other recent high-grade
gold discoveries on our district scale land package in the prolific
and under explored White Gold District.” stated David D’Onofrio,
Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant to an investor rights agreement between
the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM)
(“Agnico”) dated December 13, 2016, Agnico has
indicated that it intends to maintain its pro rata interest in the
Company at 19.85% on a post-offering basis through the acquisition
of Common Shares.
The gross proceeds received from the sale of the
FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as
defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
"Tax Act") on the Company’s properties in the
White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, and renounced to
subscribers in the Offering with an effective date no later than
December 31, 2023. Such Canadian exploration expenses will also
qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as defined in
subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act. The net proceeds from the sale of
the Common Shares will be used for working capital and other
general corporate purposes.
Participation by Agnico in the Offering will be
considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral
Instrument 61- 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company
will be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation
or minority shareholder approval in connection with Agnico’s
participation in the Offering in reliance of sections 5.5(a) and
5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change report will be filed in
connection with the participation of Agnico in the Offering less
than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, which the
Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to
avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the
Offering in an expeditious manner.

or about December 8, 2023 and is subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory
approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"TSXV"). The securities issued pursuant to the
Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months
plus one day from the closing date of the Offering in accordance
with applicable securities legislation.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward
Looking InformationThis news release contains
"forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements"
(collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of
the applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements,
other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking
statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections
as at the date of this news release. Any statement that involves
discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs,
plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, future events or
performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects",
or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not
anticipate", "plans", “proposed”, "budget", "scheduled",
"forecasts", "estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of
such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or
results "may" or "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken to
occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may
be forward-looking statements. In this news release,
forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the
Offering, including all regulatory approvals; the use of proceeds
from the Offering; the Company’s objectives, goals and exploration
activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s
properties; future growth potential of the Company, including
whether any proposed exploration programs at any of the Company’s
properties will be successful; exploration results; and future
exploration plans and costs and financing availability.
These forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company
at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may
differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to
materially differ from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the
expected benefits to the Company relating to the exploration
conducted and proposed to be conducted at the White Gold
properties; the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals for
the Offering; the completion of the Offering on the terms described
herein, or at all; failure to identify any additional mineral
resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of
metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the
availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including
to fund any exploration programs on the Company’s properties;
business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic
conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in
spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain
other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the
Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in
national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls,
regulations and political or economic developments; risks and
hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration,
development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial
accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and
flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks
and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose
restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee relations;
relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous
populations; availability of increasing costs associated with
mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral
exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining
necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government
authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored
are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors;
actual results of current and future exploration; changes in
project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling
results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence
of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; and
those factors described in the most recently filed management’s
discussion and analysis of the Company. Although the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based
upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the
time, to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure
shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such
forward-looking statements, as there may be other factors that
cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements and information. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors
or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information,
will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake to
release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary
forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable
securities law.
Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation
Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the
TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this
news release.
