HighGold Announces $9.3 million Bought Deal Private Placement

Vancouver, November 8, 2019 - HighGold Mining Inc. (TSXV: HIGH) (the "Company" or "HighGold") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Sprott Capital Partners LP to act as lead underwriter (the "Lead Underwriter"), on its own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively with the Lead Underwriter, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase for their own account or arrange for substituted purchasers to purchase on a bought-deal private placement basis C$9,304,000 of securities of the Company (the "Offering").

The Offering will consist of a combination of (i) 1,280,000 (C$2,304,000) common shares of the Company issued on a flow-through basis, which may be gifted or sold by the initial purchaser (the "FT Shares") at a price of $1.80 per FT Share, and (ii) 5,600,000 (C$7,000,000) common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $1.25 per Common Share. The FT Shares and Common Shares shall be collectively referred to as the "Offered Securities".

In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option to increase the size of Offering by up to an additional 20% of the number of Offered Securities, exercisable at any time up to three business days prior to closing of the Offering, on the same terms and conditions under the Offering (the "Underwriters' Option").

In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters will be entitled to a cash fee in an amount equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding any Offered Securities purchased by subscribers included on a permitted "President's List". A cash fee of 2.0% will be payable with respect to any participation in the Offering by President's List subscribers. The same commission shall be paid to the Underwriters in connection with any Offered Securities sold pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters' Option.

An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian exploration expenses that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and which qualifies as an "eligible Ontario exploration expenditure" within the meaning of subsection 103(4) of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario) (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2019 to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares (other than the Underwriters) in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, and, if the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Corporation will indemnify each initial purchaser (other than the Underwriters) for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Corporation's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Common Shares will be used for on-going exploration and development work on the Company properties and for general corporate purposes.

The securities to be issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issue in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Offering is currently expected to close on or about December 5, 2019 or such other date or dates as the Company and the Lead Underwriter may agree (the "Closing Date").
