Val-d'Or Mining Closes Acquisition of Net Smelter Return Royalties

Val-d'Or, Dec 21, 2020 - Val-d'Or Mining Corporation (TSXV: VZZ) ("Val- d'Or Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for, and has completed, the acquisition of various royalties from Net Smelter Returns ("NSR") on its properties from CapEx Group Inc. and 2973090 Canada Inc., as more particularly detailed below, and as previously announced in the Company's news release dated December 10, 2020. The Company has now acquired and cancelled all the legacy NSR royalties from CapEx Group Inc. and 2973090 Canada Inc. to simplify and increase its ownership over the respective properties, which will create opportunities for the formation of joint ventures with arms-length parties.

The Company has acquired and concurrently cancelled the following NSR royalties on its properties:

Property	NSR
Borderline Calamity Lac Laverdière Lac Lemoyne Mona Lisa Rivière d'Alembert Rivière Lois Sea Serpent Shoot-Out Boston Bulldog	2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 3.0% 3.0%

The Company has issued an aggregate of 1,300,000 common shares in consideration for the purchase and cancellation of all NSR royalties, pursuant to a NSR Purchase Agreement dated December 9, 2020 (the "NSR Purchase Agreement") with CapEx Group Inc. and 2973090 Canada Inc., of which 650,000 common shares will be issued to 2973090 Canada Inc., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by Glenn J. Mullan, a director and the Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company has also issued 200,000 common shares to 2973090 Canada Inc., pursuant to an agreement dated December 9, 2020, with 2973090 Canada Inc. (the "Amendment Agreement") to further amend a Mining Option Agreement relating to the Boston Bulldog Prospect entered into on February 16, 2015, as subsequently assigned and amended.

The proposed issuance of shares by the Company to 2973090 Canada Inc. under the NSR Purchase Agreement and under the Amendment Agreement constitute related party transactions pursuant to the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("M1 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement and on Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement, as at the time the transaction was agreed to neither the fair market value of the subject matter nor the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction insofar as it involves interested parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The common shares to be issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the NSR Purchase Agreement and the Amendment Agreement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation and TSX Venture Exchange policy. No finder's fees are payable in connection with these two transactions.
