Further to its news release dated March 31, 2026, International Iconic Gold Exploration Corp. has issued an aggregate of 3.95 million common shares of the company at a deemed price of 15 cents per share to the optionors of the Ginette mining property, located in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. In exchange, the company has been granted the right to explore the property for a period of three years. The consideration shares are subject to the following resale restrictions: 50 per cent are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period; 25 per cent are subject to a six-month hold period; and the remaining 25 per cent are subject to an eight-month hold period.

Pursuant to the company's option and exploration agreement with the property optionors, dated March 30, 2026, the company holds an option to acquire 100 per cent of the mining rights respecting the property upon payment of $1-million (U.S.) in cash to Samco S.A., an optionor, within the first three years of the effective date of the agreement, which payments must be made as follows: $5,000 (U.S.) within 12 months; $5,000 (U.S.) within 24 months; and $990,000 (U.S.) within 36 months from the effective date of the agreement. If the option is exercised, the optionors will retain a 1-per-cent net smelter royalty (the NSR) on the sale value of all minerals produced and products obtained from the mining and processing of minerals from the property, for the life of the deposit, subject to the company's right to acquire 100 per cent of the NSR at any time within the first two years of commercial production for $1-million (U.S.). For further details respecting the property, the agreement and the purchase option granted thereunder, please see the company's news release dated March 31, 2026.
