Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2024) - Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) (OTCQB: AUSVF) ("Gold79" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the final tranche of its previously announced $6,000,000 non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"), raising aggregate gross proceeds of $6,110,000 through the issuance of 24,440,002 units at $0.25 per unit.

"This final tranche, which was oversubscribed, strengthens Gold79's position as it accelerates exploration and pursues opportunities to enhance shareholder value in a rising gold price environment," stated Quentin Mai, President of Gold79.

Gross proceeds from the final tranche were $610,000 through the issuance of 2,440,000 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half common share purchase warrant. A total of 1,220,000 whole warrants were issued in the final tranche, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share until November 22, 2026. A total of 12,220,002 warrants were issued in the Offering. The warrants are callable, at the option of the Company, in the event that the 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Company's common share meets or exceeds $0.60 for ten consecutive trading days based on trades on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and Alternative Trading Systems. Subscribers will be notified of the call provision being triggered and will have a 30-day period to exercise the warrants.

The warrants contain provisions that prohibit the exercise by the holder, together with its affiliates, which would result in the holder, together with its affiliate, beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately after giving effect to such exercise of the warrant.

Details of the first tranche closing of the Offering were included in Gold79's press release dated October 10, 2024 and details of the second tranche closing of the Offering were included in Gold79's press release dated November 18, 2024.

No finder fees were paid in connection with the final tranche of the Offering.

The finder warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per share and expire two years from their issue date.

This Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX-V. All securities issued in the final tranche of the placement are subject to a statutory hold period until March 23, 2025.

Proceeds raised in the placement will be used for exploration expenditures related to the Gold Chain, Arizona, project; property claim costs and contractual property payments; costs associated with the transaction with Bullet Exploration Inc. ("Bullet"), assuming the closing of the transaction with Bullet, exploration expenditures related to the Jefferson North, Nevada project; and, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
