Vancouver, BC, July 29, 2024 – Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSX.V:HANS) (FRA:HGO) (the “Company” or “Hanstone”) is pleased
to announce that it will be conducting a loan transaction (the “ Loan”) under which it will borrow $ 725,000 (the
“Principal”) from an affiliate (the “Lender”) of Mr. Gurbakhshish “Bob” Hans, a director of Hanstone. In August 2023,
the Lender loaned $400,000 (the “ Original Loan Amount ”) to Hanstone. The new Loan will be conducted under an
amended and restated loan agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement ”) which contemplates total loaned funds of
$1,125,000, being the Original Loan Amount and the Principal.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Lender will lend the Principal to Hanstone. The Principal and the Original
Loan Amount will be repayable on the date which is three years from the date of execution of the Amended Loan
Agreement, and will accrue interest at 1 5% per annum, such interest calculated and payable annually in arrears. The
Principal, the Original Loan Amount, and interest thereon will be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in
all present and after-acquired property of the Company. In connection with the Loan, Hanstone will issue to the Lender
14,500,000 common share purchase warrants (each, a “Loan Warrant”), with each Loan Warrant exercisable to acquire
a common share (a “Loan Warrant Share”) at a price of $0. 05 per Loan Warrant Share for three years from the closing
date of the Loan. The Company will use the Principal: to make option payments of $700,000 under the option agreement
respecting the Company’s Doc Mineral property; and for general corporate purposes approved by the board of directors
of the Company.
The closing of the Loan is subject to execution of the Amended Loan Agreement and receipt of the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. The securities issued under the Loan will be subject to a four month hold period. There is no material
fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
As Mr. Hans is an insider of the Company, the Loan is a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Loan will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101
because Hanstone’s securities are not listed on any of the markets specified in MI 61 -101, and the Loan will be exempt
from the minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101 because the aggregate fair market value of the
Loan is not more than $2,500,000 and Hanstone’s independent directors will approve the transaction.
