MINAURUM GOLD INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR GROSS PROCEEDS OF C$25M, INCLUDING EXERCISE IN FULL OF AGENTS' OPTION

Minaurum Gold Inc. has completed its previously announced best effort private placement of 69,444,442 units of the company at a price of 36 cents per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $25-million, which included the exercise in full of the agent option. Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share at a price of 50 cents at any time on or before Dec. 11, 2027.

Cormark Securities Inc. acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner in connection with the offering, on behalf of itself and a syndicate of agents, including Beacon Securities Ltd. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. In consideration for the services provided by the agents in connection with the offering, the company paid the agents a cash commission of $1,423,354.76 and issued to the agents 3,953,761 common share purchase warrants on closing of the offering. Each broker warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of 36 cents at any time on or before Dec. 11, 2027. The broker warrants and underlying common shares are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on April 12, 2026. In addition, the company paid a cash fee of $11,249.99 and issued 31,250 broker warrants to an arm's-length finder in connection with the offering.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for exploration expenditures and completion of a phase 2 drill program on the company's Alamos silver project, for property-related expenditures, and for general working capital purposes, all as further described in the amended and restated offering document of the company dated Dec. 3, 2025, and filed on the company's profile on SEDAR+ and in Minaurum's news release dated Dec. 5, 2025.

The units were sold by way of private placement as follows:

• 43,888,888 units issued to purchasers in Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions) as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 (Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption) and to purchasers in certain jurisdictions outside of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from prospectus or registration requirements; and
• 25,555,554 units issued to purchasers in Canada pursuant to available exemptions from the prospectus requirements under NI 45-106 other than the listed issuer financing exemption, and to purchasers in certain jurisdictions outside of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from prospectus or registration requirements.

The units issued pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption, together with the underlying securities, are not subject to a hold period in Canada. The units issued pursuant to the non-LIFE, together with the underlying securities, are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada, expiring on April 12, 2026.

Each of Kesa Capital Ltd., a company beneficially controlled by Darrell Rader, president, chief executive officer and a director of the company, Jasmine Lau, chief financial officer of the company, and Stephen Maynard, vice-president, exploration, of the company, purchased an aggregate of 191,222 units under the offering. The insiders' participation is considered to be a related-party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The insiders' participation in the offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the offering, nor the consideration to be received for those securities, insofar as the offering involves the insiders, exceeds 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the offering as the details of the offering and the participation therein by related parties of the company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

Minaurum is an Americas-focused explorer concentrating on the high-grade 100-per-cent-owned, production-permitted Alamos silver project in southern Sonora, Mexico, and a portfolio of district-scale projects in Mexico. Minaurum is managed by one of the strongest technical and finance teams, and will continue its founders' legacy of creating shareholder value by acquiring and developing a pipeline of Tier 1 precious and base metal projects.

We seek Safe Harbor.
