Clarification of Previous Crescita Capital Drawdowns

On August 9, 2022, Element79 Gold entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") confirming the agreement between Crescita and the Company with respect to the status of certain funds advanced pursuant to an investment and advisory agreement dated September 14, 2020 between the Investor and the Company (the "Investment and Advisory Agreement"), as amended on May 2, 2022 ("Amendment to Investment and Advisory Agreement", and together with the Investment and Advisory Agreement, the "Amended Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, of the funds advanced to the Company during 2021, $2,500,000 have not, to date, resulted in a drawdown of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") under the Amended Agreement (the "Outstanding 2021 Funds").

The Investor and the Company have agreed that the Outstanding 2021 Funds will be treated as a reduction of the commitment under the Amended Agreement but that no Common Shares will be issued in respect of the Outstanding 2021 Funds and instead such funds shall be deemed to have been loaned to the Company on terms and conditions as set out in the form of the Promissory Note. In addition, to the Outstanding 2021 Funds, Crescita has advanced $950,000 to the Company under the original Investment and Advisory Agreement during 2022, prior to the Amendment to Investment and Advisory Agreement, and Common Shares will be issued in respect of these advanced funds. Since May 2nd, 2022, Crescita has advanced an additional $720,000 under the Amended Agreement but no issuances of Common Shares have yet been made in respect of such advances. The total remaining commitment from Crescita to Element79 Gold amount under the Amended Agreement is $4,830,000.

Details of the Convertible Promissory Note

On July 18, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Crescita for the principal sum of $2,500,000 (the "Principal Amount") via the sale of the Promissory Note. Element79 Gold shall pay interest on the Principal Amount at the rate of 6% per annum, accruing daily and payable in cash, or in shares at the maximum discounted price permitted by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Conversion Price"), on the date that is two years from the issue date of the Promissory Note (the "Maturity Date"). At any time after the issue date of the Promissory Note, but prior to the Maturity Date, the Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest may be converted into shares, calculated at the Conversion Price. If any portion of the Principal Amount or any accrued interest remains outstanding fourteen days after the Maturity Date, then Element79 Gold will be required to convert all outstanding amounts into common shares, the total value of which, at the Conversion Price, shall equal the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest.

"Crescita has been a long-standing working partner, offering strong support for the Element79 Gold story since its inception, and has made tremendous contributions to the growth of the Company via their capital raising capabilities," stated Mr. Tworek. "Their dedication has assisted Element79 Gold in confidently moving forward with the objective of achieving cash flow generation and self-sufficiency".

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the duration and effects of the coronavirus and COVID-19; risks related to the integration of acquisitions; actual results of exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; commodity prices; variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; actual performance of plant, equipment or processes relative to specifications and expectations; accidents; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; changes in applicable legislation or application thereof; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation; environmental risks; reclamation expenses; outcomes of pending litigation; limitations on insurance coverage as well as those factors discussed in the Company’s other public disclosure documents, available on www.sedar.com.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward‐looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward‐looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
