NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.NOT AN OFFER OF SECURITIES FOR SALEIN THE UNITED STATES VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSXV:YGT)(Frankfurt:TX0)(OTCQX:YGTFF) ("Gold Terra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an upsize to its previously announced non-brokered private placement under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (defined below) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$10.8 million (the "Offering"), including significant participation from strategic shareholder, David Harquail. The Offering is expected to consist of 20 million common shares of the Company (the "HD Shares") at an issue price of C$0.18 per HD Share for gross proceeds of C$3,600,000, 20 million charity flow-through common shares of the Company (the "CFT Shares") at an issue price of C$0.25 per CFT Share for gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 and 10 million flow-through common shares of the Company (the "FT Shares") at an issue price of C$0.22 per FT Share for gross proceeds of C$2,200,000. The CFT Shares and the FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through" shares (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")).

The HD Shares, the CFT Shares and the FT Shares are collectively referred to herein as the "Offered Securities". The Offering is non-brokered with no warrants, is expected to close on or around July 24, 2026 and is subject to certain conditions, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the closing must occur no later than the 45 th day following the date of the initial news release announcing the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes and for the drilling program currently scheduled to start in July / August 2026. There will be two planned programs run concurrently which are anticipated to confirm and add ounces of gold, both on the Con Mine Option property, under option from a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation, as follows: The northern extension of the Campbell Shear target, or zone 103 N where the Company's most recent Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate has outlined 595,000 Inferred ounces within 5.1 million tonnes grading 3.64 g/t between 600m and 900m below surface (see the Company's technical report entitled " NI 43-101 Technical Report Yellowknife Project , Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada" with an effective date of April 30, 2026), and The Con Mine historical on-site tailings, where a total of approximately 12 Mt of process ore residues were placed between 1938 and 2003. As past production was recorded with grades averaging up to 24 g/t gold, and average recoveries between 88% and 93.5%, the Company believes that the historical tailings could contain gold with an average of between 1 and 2 g/t gold.

The program will be testing the Upper Pud and Middle Pud tailings areas currently planned to start in August 2026 with an initial pattern of 50m x 50m. The Company also believes that, since a gravity circuit was only installed in the late 1980s with Nerco, that some residual coarse gold could be present in the lower levels of the historical tailings. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the CFT Shares and the FT Shares to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on or before December 31, 2027, and will renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the CFT Shares and the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026.

About Gold Terra The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 836 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the largest major historic high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople.

Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the Campbell Shear, where approximately 14 Moz of gold has been produced in the past, (refer to Gold Terra June 26, 2026 Technical Report ) and most recently on the CMO property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003). The YP and CMO properties lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.
