Each flow through Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a

"With the expansion of the ongoing exploration activities at the Cassiar Gold Property, and in order to
maximize the efficiency and benefit of our CEE flow through eligible expenses we are adding to the
funds we could use on eligible on the ground expenditures for 2024," stated Marco Roque, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 2024 exploration campaign continues to evaluate the expansion
potential of the Taurus Deposit, while also advancing new target areas in this highly prospective district
with multiple drilling, geophysical, and fieldwork activities. We look forward to sharing detailed results of
these as they become available."
In connection with the Offering, certain finders may receive a cash fee and/or non-transferable finder
warrants.

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 km

and consists of two main project areas: Cassiar North, which hosts a NI 43-101-compliant inferred
resource estimate of 1.4Moz at 1.14 g/t Au (cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au) known as the Taurus Deposit (see
National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Cassiar Gold property, April 28, 2022, by S.
Zelligan, J. Moors, C. Jolette, which is available on SEDAR+); and Cassiar South, which hosts numerous
gold showings, historical workings, and exploration prospects. Historical underground mines in the
Cassiar South area have yielded over 315,000 oz of Au at average head grades of between 10 and 20
g/t Au

veins.

operational risks in development, exploration and production; the uncertainty of mineral resource
estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and
health, safety and environmental risks), constraint in the availability of services, commodity price and
exchange rate fluctuations, the current COVID-19 pandemic, changes in legislation impacting the mining
industry, adverse weather conditions and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in
