(TSXV: CAN) (the "Company" or "Canadian Gold") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement offering pursuant to the "listed issuer financing exemption" (the " LIFE Offering ") under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (" NI 45-106 "), as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (such exemption, the " Listed Issuer Financing Exemption "). The Company intends to complete the LIFE Offering through the issuance of up to 10,875,000 units of the Company (each, a " Unit ") at a price of $0.10 per Unit (the " Offering Price ") for gross proceeds of up to $1,087,500. Each Unit will consist of: (i) one common share of the Company (each, a " Common Share ") and (ii) one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.18 per Common Share for a period of 36 months after issuance.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with NI 45-106, the Units sold pursuant to the LIFE Offering will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption and certain offshore jurisdictions pursuant to available prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws. Subject to the rules and policies of the TSXV, the Common Shares issuable from the sale of Units to Canadian resident subscribers will not be subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. As the Company completed a financing less than 12 months ago (see the Company's new release dated January 2 and 30, 2026), all Warrants in this LIFE Offering will be restricted from being exercised for a period of 61 days after closing to ensure compliance with the dilution restriction in section 5A.2(h) of the LIFE exemption in National Policy 45-106.

Any Common Shares issued upon exercise of a LIFE Warrant after the restrictive period expires will be free trading in Canada. Insiders and certain consultants that participate in the LIFE Offering would be subject to a four-month hold period in respect of securities issued pursuant to applicable policies of the TSXV. There is an offering document related to this LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at https://www.cdngold.com .

Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision. The net proceeds from the LIFE Offering will be used for exploration and drilling on the Lac Arsenault project, the Robidoux project and VG Boulder project as well as working capital. It is expected that closing of the Offering will take place on or about June 30, 2026 or such other date(s) as may be determined by the Company (the " Closing Date ").

Closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV. The Company has engaged Research Capital Corporation (the " Finder ") as exclusive finder and sole booker runner to assist with the Offering.

Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.10 per Unit for 36 months from the date of issuance. The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act "), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom.
