As a result of strong investor demand, Loncor Gold Inc. has increased the size of its previously announced best effort private placement from aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5-million to aggregate gross proceeds of up to $8-million. The upsized marketed offering is composed of the sale of up to 14,545,455 units of the company at a price of 55 cents per unit.

Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the company. Each whole warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the company at a price of 80 cents at any time on or before that date which is 36 months after the closing date (as herein defined).

Red Cloud Securities Inc. is acting as sole agent and bookrunner under the offering (as defined below). The agent will have an option, exercisable in full or in part, up to 48 hours prior to the closing date, to sell up to an additional 2,545,455 units at the offering price for up to an additional $1.4-million in gross proceeds.

The units may also be sold in offshore jurisdictions and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for the continued exploration and advancement of the company's Imbo project located in the Ngayu greenstone belt in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The offering is scheduled to close on May 23, 2025, or such other date as the company and the agent may agree. Completion of the offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
