VELOCITY ENTERS INTO OPTION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 75% INTEREST IN THE KALABAK GOLD - COPPER PROPERTY IN BULGARIA

Velocity Minerals Ltd. has entered into a letter agreement with Zelenrok EOOD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Raiden Resources Ltd., whereby Velocity has been granted an exclusive option to acquire a 75-per-cent interest in and to the prospecting and exploration licence covering the Kalabak gold-copper property, located in southeastern Bulgaria. To exercise the option, Velocity must complete 5,000 metres of drilling and a mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 over a five-year period.

Kalabak Property Highlights

• Under-explored property, located in a highly prospective gold mineral belt
• Potential for epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold deposits
• Historical drilling is limited and focused only on one prospect

Location and Regional Setting

The Kalabak property is located approximately 10 kilometres north of Dundee Precious Metals Ada Tepe operating open pit mine (4.26 Mt at 4.8 g/t Au)1 and 6 kilometres northwest from Velocity's Rozino deposit (11.8 Mt at 1.22 g/t gold)2. The host stratigraphy at Ada Tepe and Rozino is preserved over a 10 kilometres strike length at Kalabak and represents a compelling regional target for sediment hosted epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Historical exploration completed by Raiden, including field mapping and sampling, confirmed the presence of a porphyry mineralizing environment. Additionally, three new structural zones with mineralization and vein textures are described which indicate an epithermal environment similar to that observed at Ada Tepe and Rozino.

The Kalabak prospecting license is located within a prolific epithermal and porphyry belt hosting gold and base metals (Figure 1 and 2), which transects southeastern Bulgaria, Northern Greece and western Turkey.

The property area covers Eocene to Oligocene gold-dominated magmatic mineralizing systems hosted within volcano-sedimentary pull-apart basins and underlying basement. The volcano-sedimentary package dips shallowly to the north-west and consists of clastic lacustrine sediments overlying the basement (similar to Ada Tepe and Rozino), volcanic rocks of andesitic composition, and limestones. Late andesite stocks intruded the volcano-sedimentary package at several locations and highlights the potential for a larger concealed feeder intrusive with copper-gold porphyry mineralization at depth.

Historically most of the exploration efforts, including 1,350m of historical drilling, were focused over the Sbor porphyry copper-moly-gold prospect. Exploration work throughout the remainder of the Property is limited to regional soil geochemistry, completed on very coarse grid.

Planned exploration includes geochemical screening planned to be completed in 2023, with drill testing of targets slated for 2024.Figure 1.

Readers are cautioned that aside from Rozino, Kalabak, Makedontsi, Obichnik, Iglika and Zlatusha, the mines and deposits labelled above are adjacent properties and that Velocity has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the deposit, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties, and any production therefore or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on Velocity's properties or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of Velocity's mineral properties.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4368/176566_584a364cd41afa6f_002full.jpg

Commercial Terms

To exercise the Option in full and acquire a 75% interest in the Property, Velocity must: (i) complete 5,000m of drilling on the Property; (iv) deliver an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate on a deposit on the Property prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"); (Tables 1).

Table 1. Requirements to Exercise Option.Date        Drilling (m)            Deliverable             Vesting

   Option Total       5,000                     --                   75%  

Velocity will be under no obligation to fulfill any of the Option Earn-In Requirements, all of which will be at the sole discretion of Velocity. If Velocity exercises the Option, Velocity and Raiden will be deemed to have formed a Joint Venture with Velocity initially owning 75% and Raiden owning 25%. If a participant's participating interest in the Joint Venture falls below 15%, that participant will transfer its participating interest to the other participant in exchange for the grant of an ongoing royalty to be paid at 1% of net smelter returns (the "1% NSR Royalty"). The participant with the largest participating interest in the Joint Venture will have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable at any time prior to a production decision to purchase half of the 1% NSR Royalty (being 0.5%) for the sum of $1.5 million.

The Property is subject to an existing 2% net smelter royalty held by Gold Bull Resources Corp. (the "Gold Bull Royalty"), of which, prior to commencement of commercial production: (i) an initial 0.5% of the total Gold Bull Royalty can be purchased for USD$2,500,000 (reducing the Gold Bull Royalty from 2% to 1.5%); and (ii) a further 1% of the total Gold Bull Royalty can be purchased for USD$5,000,000 (reducing the Gold Bull Royalty from 1.5% to 0.5%).

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Velocity and Raiden will negotiate in good faith toward the execution and delivery of a definitive property option agreement (the "Definitive Agreement"), which will incorporate the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement and such other terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the parties.

Advisory Services Agreement

Velocity also announces that it has received TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") acceptance for the previously announced advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the "Advisor"), whereby the Advisor has agreed to assist in initiating a strategic review of the Company (see news release dated May 5, 2023). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will provide financial and general business advisory services to the Company over a 12-month period (unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms).

In consideration of the Advisor providing advisory services to the Company, the Company (i) paid the Advisor a $10,000 cash fee; (ii) will issue an aggregate of 500,000 common shares to the Advisor during the term of the Advisory Agreement; (iii) will pay a commission of 7% cash and 7% common share purchase warrants on any financing raised by or through the Advisor; and (iv) may pay a success fee in cash or shares upon certain conditions being met or pay an additional fee to be negotiated between the parties if the Advisor provides a fairness opinion. The payment of the commission or success fee by the Company will be subject to future TSXV approval upon the relevant transaction or action triggering the payment occurring.
