Amendments to North Star Agreement

The Company also announces that it has amended (the "Amendment") the terms of its property option agreement (the "North Star Agreement") to acquire a 90% interest in the North Star Gold project (the "North Star Property") located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the North Star Agreement, which is between the Company's subsidiary, Scorpio Gold BC Holding Corp., and certain optionors (the "Optionors"), now provides that, in order to maintain the option in good standing, the Company must (i) make a cash payment to the Optionors equal to the aggregate gold price for 22.5 oz of gold by April 16, 2024 (which has been paid), and (ii) make a cash payment to the Optionors equal to the aggregate gold price for 87.5 oz of gold by July 31, 2024. The North Star Agreement previously required a single payment equal to the aggregate gold price for 110 oz of gold on July 31, 2024.

The Amendment also creates a 10-kilometer area of interest around the boundary of the North Star Property, within which the Optionors are prohibited from acquiring any mining claim, license, or other mineral property interest. Finally, the Amendment also provides that, following exercise of the option, the Optionors will have a 10% carried interest in the joint venture until the commencement of commercial production, whereas the Optionors were to be carried only until the completion of a feasibility study under the original terms of the North Star Agreement. All other terms of the North Star Agreement will remain the same.

The Company acquired an interest in the North Star Agreement through its acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Altus Gold Corp., the original optionee under the North Star Agreement, by way of a three-cornered amalgamation in which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, 1455812 B.C. Ltd. amalgamated with Altus Gold Corp. to form the entity Scorpio Gold BC Holding Corp. (the "Amalgamation"). For more information regarding to Amalgamation, please refer to the Company's press releases dated February 23, 2024.
