Canadian Gold's Tartan mine eligible for "tax holiday"

CANADIAN GOLD CORP UPDATE TO SHAREHOLDERS ON TARTAN MINE TAX INCENTIVES

Manitoba Finance has confirmed that Canadian Gold Corp.'s Tartan mine, located near Flin Flon, would be considered a major expansion and eligible for a tax holiday should the mine re-enter production. Under the Mining Tax Act, companies need to meet certain requirements to receive the tax holiday. Based on the company's review and meetings with Manitoba Finance, the Tartan mine should meet all requirements.

Major expansions by mining companies in Manitoba are exempt from paying mining tax until profits equal the amount of capital spent to open the mine. At the end of the tax holiday, a company will be allowed to depreciate the undepreciated balance against future mining tax, further increasing the attractiveness of Manitoba as a jurisdiction to explore and operate. This is in addition to other incentives such as processing allowance and provincial sales tax deduction on electricity, among others. These tax incentives will be incorporated into future economic studies and should increase potential financial returns associated with the Tartan mine by increasing the net present value (NPV) and reducing the payback period.

As detailed in the company's June 5, 2023, news release, other initiatives are under way to improve the potential financial returns at the Tartan mine while focusing on sustainability such as electric mining, ore sorting and metallurgical test work to further increase gold recoveries. Most importantly, the company is currently completing its phase 1 exploration program at the Tartan mine, designed to extend the high-grade gold mineralization at depth. Results will be released once received.
