Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 2, 2022) -
Cassiar Gold Corp. (TSXV: GLDC) (OTCQX:
CGLCF)
("
Cassiar Gold
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
agreement with Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (the "
Co-Lead
Underwriters
") to
act as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively,
the "
Underwriters
") pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 4,000,000 flow-
through units of the Company (each, a "

Unit
") to be resold to charitable purchasers at a price of
C$1.50 per FT Unit (the "
Offering Price
") on a "bought deal" basis by way of a short form prospectus
for gross proceeds of C$6,000,000 (the "
Offering
").
Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a "flow-through share"
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "
FT Share
") and one half of one common
share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "
Warrant
"). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder
to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a "
Warrant Share
") at a price
of C$1.60 at any time on or before that date which is 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for a period of 30 days after and
including the closing date of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the FT Units sold under
the Offering for resale to charitable purchasers at the Offering Price to raise additional gross proceeds
of up to C$900,000 to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.
Proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined
in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in
subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an
effective date not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total
amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds raised from the Offering for the exploration of the Company's Cassiar Gold property in British
Columbia, Canada.
The FT Units will be sold by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Offering is scheduled to close on or around March 24,
2022 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration

About Cassiar Gold Corp.
Cassiar Gold Corp. is a Canadian gold exploration company holding a 100% interest in its flagship
Cassiar Gold Property located in British Columbia, Canada. The Cassiar Gold property spans 590 km2
and consists of two main project areas: Cassiar North, which hosts a NI 43-101-compliant inferred
resource estimate of 1Moz at 1.43 g/t Au (cutoff grade of 0.7 g/t) known as the as the Taurus Deposit
(see National Instrument 43-101 Technical report on the Cassiar Gold property, amended Nov. 12, 2019,
by S. Zelligan, posted to SEDAR); and Cassiar South which hosts numerous gold showings, historical
workings, and exploration prospects over a >15 km long and up to 10 km wide trend. Historical
underground mines in the Cassiar South area have yielded over 300,000 oz of Au at grades of between
10 and 25 g/t Au (BC Minfile), underscoring the high potential for further discovery and expansion of
bonanza-grade orogenic gold veins.
The Cassiar Gold Property is highly accessible by road and has a fully permitted 300 tpd mill and tailings
facility, which could provide the potential for near-term production if new and expanded high-grade
resources are defined in the areas of active mining leases that cover some of the most prospective parts
of the South Cassiar area. Cassiar Gold acknowledges, respects, and supports the rights of Traditional
First Nations in the lands and communities where we operate.
