BARU GOLD ANNOUNCES PRIV ATE PLACEMENT AFTER INVESTOR INTEREST INCREASES AS

A RESULT OF MCTO REVOCATION

Vancouver, BC - Baru Gold Corp (“Baru” and its subsidiary PT. T ambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”) or the

“Company”) announces to shareholders a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 5,000,000 units priced

at $0.02 per unit for total proceeds of $100,000.

Each unit will comprise one common share in the capital of the Company and one non-transferable common share

purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase over two years one additional share at an exercise

price of $0.05. The financing is expected to close on or before March 25, 2024.

The use of proceeds of the financing will be for working capital while the Company awaits the issuance of the State

of Activity upgrade to Production Operation status. The Company reminds interested participants that the Private

Placement is subject to re-pricing if the stock price increases following the release of news. Insiders of the Company

participation in the foregoing offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral

Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such

participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as

neither the fair market value of the securities acquired by the insiders, nor the consideration for the securities paid

by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

This offering is being made due to increased investor interest from increasing gold prices and after the British

Columbia Securities Commission revoked the temporary management cease trade order (the "MCTO") on March 6, 2024.

The MCTO prevented the Company’s Officers, Board and Insiders from trading in the Company’s securities but did not

affect the ability of other shareholders, including the public, to trade in the securities of the Company.

The Company confirms filing the 2023 audited annual financial statements and the BCSC’s Executive Director has

revoked the MCTO. The Company confirms that since the date of t he Default Announcement, other than as

described above: (a) there has been no material change to the information set out in the Default Announcement that

has not been generally disclosed; (b) there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with

respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (c) there has not

been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the Default

Announcement; and (d) there is no other material information co ncerning the affairs of the Company that has not

been generally disclosed.

The private placement is subject to regulatory approval, and all securities to be issued pursuant to the financing are

subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian s ecurities laws. All funds are denominated in

Canadian dollars. In connection with the private placement, the company may pay finders' fees in cash or securities,

or a combination of both, as may be permitted by the policies of the exchange.
