GRIZZLY ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT, DEBT SETTLEMENT, AND PROVIDES UPDATE ON THE GREENWOOD PRECIOUS AND CRITICAL MINERALS PROJECT

Grizzly Discoveries Inc. has arranged a private placement of units and flow-through units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1-million if fully subscribed. The offering is concurrent with an agreement to settle $500,000 in outstanding accounts payable debt to Apex Geoscience Ltd., the company's primary geological contractor.

Private placement offering

The offering consists of up to 8,333,333 units and up to 25 million of any combination of units and flow-through units, with the units and flow-through units each priced at three cents per unit and flow-through unit. Each unit shall consist of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant entitling the warrantholder to purchase an additional common share for five cents and expiring on the earlier of: (a) 30 days following written notice by the company to the warrantholder that the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at or greater than 10 cents per common share for 10 consecutive trading days; and (b) 24 months from the date of issuance. Each flow-through unit shall consist of one common share and one-half of one warrant, each of which shall be issued as a flow-through share for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The offering is being offered to qualified subscribers in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario and in other jurisdictions as the company may in its discretion determine, in reliance upon exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation.

The company intends to use the proceeds of the offering, if fully subscribed with the maximum of 25 million in flow-through units and 8,333,333 units, as follows.

There is no minimum to the offering. If the company closes on less than the maximum proceeds or if the proportion of units and flow-through units differs from the above, the use of proceeds will be adjusted.

In connection with the offering, the company may pay finders' fees payable in any combination of cash, units and warrants to registered broker dealers, limited market dealers or arm's-length persons in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V and applicable securities legislation and regulations. The common shares and any common shares issued on exercise of the warrants are subject to restrictions on trading until four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with the policies of the exchange.

Debt settlement agreement

Concurrent with the offering, the company has entered into an agreement with Apex Geoscience, the company's primary geological contractor, to settle $500,000 in outstanding accounts payable, incurred for prior exploration of the company's mineral properties. The agreement contemplates the extinguishment of $500,000 in accounts payable owing by the company to Apex by the issuance of 8,333,334 units of the company to Apex at a deemed price of three cents per unit and the issuance of a promissory note to a private corporation controlled by a principal of Apex with a principal amount of $250,000, bearing simple interest at 5 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, and maturing two years from the date of issuance.

The warrants included in the Apex units will expire 24 months from the date of issuance but otherwise are on the same terms as the units included in the offering. The interest on the note, payable semi-annually, shall be calculated on the principal amount only (simple interest) and, under the terms of the agreement, may be paid by the company, at the company's option, in common shares to the holder at the discounted market price (as defined by the policies of the TSX-V) on the interest payment date.

The offering, the agreement and each interest payment to be made in common shares, are subject to acceptance of the TSX-V.

Corporate update -- Greenwood precious and critical minerals project

The company is pleased to announce that it has received four new five-year drilling permits from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals to complete drill testing along with access in the target areas of Midway, Imperial, Sappho and Copper Mountain. These four new drill permits are in addition to existing drill permits for the Motherlode mine area, along with the Ket 28 and Dayton target areas. Subject to financing, the company is making plans to drill test the Motherlode mine area, including copper-gold-silver mineralization at the Motherlode, Sunset and Greyhound historical mines, along with the high-grade polymetallic gold-copper mineralization identified at the historical Midway mine area.

Highlights

Motherlode mine area

The Motherlode mine produced 76,975,111 pounds of copper, 173,319 ounces of gold and 688,203 ounces of silver during the active periods of mining from 1900 to 1920 and then from 1957 to 1962. The Motherlode skarn mineralization is developed in the Triassic Brooklyn formation sediments (British Columbia Minfile 082ESE034). The Motherlode mine is road accessible and is approximately 2.5 kilometres northwest of the town of Greenwood:

  • The company has collected in excess of 350 rock samples, mostly selective grab samples, from across the Motherlode project area including the newly acquired Crown grants.
  • Of the 17 samples collected from the Motherlode pit area, a total of nine samples yielded from 1.16 per cent Cu up to 4.88 per cent Cu, 12 samples yielded from 1.075 grams per tonne Au up to 6.65 g/t Au and eight samples yielded from 12.6 g/t Ag up to 51.3 g/t Ag.
  • Of the 10 samples collected from the Sunset pit area, a total of eight samples yielded from 1.44 per cent Cu up to 3.66 per cent Cu, nine samples yielded from 1.7 per cent Cu up to 4.88 g/t Au and seven samples yielded from 14.5 g/t Ag up to 55 g/t Ag.
  • Various other targets, including the Greyhound pit, the Butte City target, the Margerite target and the Great Hopes target, have yielded a number of samples with greater than 1 per cent Cu and greater than 10 g/t Au and warrant additional exploration.
  • Various historical mineral resource estimates (MREs) produced both prior to the last period of mining from 1957 to 1962 (Fredericks, 1961) and after the last period of mining as part of a couple of historical economic studies have been recovered from the publicly available British Columbia property files.
  • In addition to the historical MREs, drilling in 1996 by Strathcona Mineral Services on behalf of YGC Resources (Veris Gold) intersected several zones of copper-gold mineralization targeting the gold-bearing halo to the Motherlode skarn along the east side of the Motherlode pit in the vicinity of the historical underground workings.
  • Drill hole 96-8 encountered gold in almost every sample, including a weighted average grade of 0.23 g/t Au over the entire 154.23-metre (506-foot) length drill hole, with a number of higher-grade zones in proper skarn toward the bottom of the hole.
  • The Main Motherlode skarn was intersected at the bottom of the drill hole and returned 2.5 g/t (0.073 ounce per ton), along with significant Cu over 4.88 metres (16 feet) at the end of the drill hole from skarnified Brooklyn limestone, which is associated with a strong AeroTEM conductivity anomaly.
  • The drill hole collared in Brooklyn Sharpstone conglomerate and drilled, through alternating skarn, an altered diorite along the length of the drill hole, with the main zone at the end of the hole characterized by increased quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite veining and volumetric chalcopyrite.
  • The hole was ended due to technical difficulties. Strathcona Mineral Services recommended follow-up drilling, which has never been completed.

Midway:

  • Two new showings identified in 2023 near the historical Midway mine, including up to 5.64 g/t Au (0.165 ounce per ton) from a showing 400 m to the north of Midway and up to 4.19 g/t Au (0.122 ounce per ton) from a grab sample collected about 375 m to the west of the Midway mine.
  • At least six new areas with anomalous gold (greater than 100 parts per billion), copper (greater than 200 parts per million) and silver in soils have been identified at Midway.
  • The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver. At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples collected during 2022 from outcrop at the Midway mine/Picturestone area yielded a range of 12.05 g/t (or 0.351 ounce per ton) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 ounces per ton) Au (see the company's news release dated Oct. 17, 2022).
  • Three of the seven selective rock grab samples from the Midway mine yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 ounces per ton) up to 2,140 g/t Ag (62.4 ounces per ton) (see the company's news release dated Oct. 17, 2022).
  • All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of lead, zinc, copper, arsenic and antimony and are likely epithermal in nature.
  • A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 ounce per ton) and 1,530 g/t Ag (44.6 ounces per ton), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.

Brian Testo, president and chief executive officer of Grizzly Discoveries, stated: "We are excited with the acquisition of our new drill permits, along with the historical Motherlode Crown grants and the potential battery metal and precious metal targets that they provide. We look forward to an aggressive 2025 drilling at the Motherlode mine area and other high-grade gold-silver-copper showings and historical mines along with additional exploration for battery metals in our current 170,000-plus-acre holdings in the Greenwood district."

Quality assurance and quality control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (more than 10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock-chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

The sampling program was undertaken by company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.

The technical content of this news release and the company's technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo, who is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
