Batero Gold Adopts Advance Notice Policy for Director Elections

Vancouver, British Columbia - July 17, 2026 - Batero Gold Corp. (TSXV: BAT) (FSE: 68B) (OTC Pink: BELDF) (the "Company" or "Batero") is pleased to announce the adoption by its board of directors of an advance notice policy (the "Advance Notice Policy") regarding director elections.

The purpose of the Advance Notice Policy is to provide shareholders, directors, the chief executive officer, the president, the chief financial officer, vice presidents and any other officers of the Company with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company. The Advance Notice Policy fixes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that must be included in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual or special meeting of shareholders.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting. If the annual general meeting is being held on a date that is less than 50 days after the first public announcement of the meeting date, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the meeting date was made.

The Advance Notice Policy is now in effect and will apply in connection with the Company's next annual general meeting (the "Shareholders' Meeting") scheduled to be held on August 28, 2026. The Company intends to seek shareholder approval and ratification of the Advance Notice Policy at the Shareholders' Meeting. If the Advance Notice Policy is not approved and ratified by ordinary resolution of the Company's shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting, then it will terminate and be void and of no force or effect following the termination of the Shareholders' Meeting.

A full description of the Advance Notice Policy will be contained in the information circular to be prepared for the Shareholders' Meeting and mailed to the Company's shareholders. A copy of the Advance Notice Policy is available on SEDAR+ under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.baterogold.net.
