The Private Placement will consist of 16,000,000 units priced at $0.10 per unit (the "Unit"). Each unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one-half common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant").

With the start of construction and first pour anticipated in Q1 of 2022, the funds raised from this private placement will be used to further the exploration program announced in the news release of September 14, 2021, provide support for the start-up of production, and our team's ability to execute both activities concurrently, and general working capital. We are encouraged by the support of our long-term shareholders who have expressed interest in a sizable allocation of this financing and encourage interested investors to contact Baru or your financial advisor for an allocation request."

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project ("Sangihe") is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study.
The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe-mineral-tenement Contract of Work ("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe ("TMS"). The remaining 30-percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.
Baru has met all the requirements of the Indonesian government and has been granted its environmental permit. The Company has received approval for the upgrade of its licence to advance the Sangihe project to construction and production in late 2021/early 2022.
