Gerald Panneton, Chairman & CEO commented, "We are pleased to have completed a successful financing with the support of existing shareholders, and new shareholders. This financing allows the Company to have a substantial winter drilling program on the Con Mine Option Property from Newmont. The program will focus on the Campbell shear ore lenses identified south of the Con Mine and reported in our last updated September 2022 mineral resource estimate (see September 7, 2022 news release). The Campbell shear remains untested and open in many directions south of Con Mine which has previously produced 5.1 Moz at an average gold grade of 16 g/t."

About Gold Terra
Gold Terra's primary exploration focus is Con Mine Option Property which is adjacent to Yellowknife City Gold (YCG) project encompassing 800 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 six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YCG 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 prolific Campbell shear, where 14 Moz of gold has been produced, and most recently on the Con Mine option property including the past producing Con Mine, which produced over 6 Moz at grade of 15 to 20 g/t (1938-2003).
The YCG lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that host the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified significant 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.
