Finlay Minerals successfully secures $200,000 from Warrant Exercise by a Key Insider

VANCOUVER, Nov. 28, 2024 - Finlay Minerals (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received proceeds of $200,000 pursuant to the exercise of 2,000,000 warrants (the "Warrants") at an exercise price well above the current market price.

An insider of the Company, Ilona Barakso Lindsay, exercised the Warrants, which were acquired through a private placement transaction completed in 2023, with an exercise price of $0.10 and an expiry date of May 29, 2025.

Ms. Lindsay acquired these securities for investment purposes and may choose to exercise the remaining warrants in the warrant series at her discretion.

No new insiders or control persons were created with this warrant exercise.

"I am very pleased to continue supporting Finlay despite the challenging market conditions. Our recent exploration success on the SAY Project demonstrates our commitment to creating shareholder value," stated Ms. Lindsay.

"In 2024, we completed a Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) survey on the Silver Hope Property, which indicates the potential expansion of the Main and West Cu-Mo porphyry mineralized zones. This survey also identified East Trends 1 & 2 and Dina East as viable new drill targets.* Additionally, we acquired the highly prospective copper and silver SAY Project in northern British Columbia."

A recently completed program on the SAY Project discovered the AG Zone - a 200-meter by 200-meter zone characterized by multi-directional copper-silver (Cu-Ag) mineralized brittle fracturing. Notably, a 9.5-meter chip sample assayed at 0.94% Cu and 18.1 g/t Ag, while another 4.5-meter chip sample assayed at 0.85% Cu and 35.3 g/t Ag. The AG Zone remains open to the west and south. **

Due to these highly encouraging results, the Company staked an additional 4,665 hectares (ha), increasing the size of the property by 44%. Planning is underway for a substantial and systematic exploration program in 2025 aimed at expanding the new AG Zone, identifying the source of the Cu-Ag mineralizing system, and further evaluating the Cu-Ag fracture mineralization along the 4.3 km long SPUR Trend.
