Margaret Lake Diamonds Closes Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BC / July 20, 2022 / Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. ("MLD" or the "Company")

(TSXV:DIA) (FKT:M85) (OTC PINK:DDIAF) is pleased to announce it has closed the second and final

tranche of its non-brokered private placement on July 18, 2022 (the "Second Tranche"). The first tranche

of the non-brokered private placement closed on June 17, 2022, raising aggregate gross proceeds of

$777,368.

The Second Tranche consists of the issuance of:

(i) an aggregate of 5,550,285 units of the Company (each, a " Unit") at a price of $0.14 per Unit for

gross proceeds of $777,039.90. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the

Company (each, a " Common Share ") and one warrant exercisable to purchase one Common

Share at a price of $0.28 per for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance; and

(ii) an aggregate of 2,650,327 flow-through units of the Company (each, a " FT Unit") at a price of

$0.15 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $397,549.05. Each FT Unit is comprised of one flow-

through share (each, a " FT Share") and one warrant exercisable to purchase one Common Share

at a price of $0.30 per for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses

and will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income

Tax Act (Canada). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units will be used for legal, accounting and

general administrative costs. The warrants issued pursuant to the Second Tranche are not subject to any

acceleration provisions.

Finder's fees of 37,333 non-transferable flow-through share purchase warrants (the " FT Finder's

Warrants") and 257,142 non-transferrable share purchase warrants (the “NFT Finder’s Warrants”)

were issued to Research Capital Company in connection with the Second Tranche. Each FT Finder’s

Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one FT Share at a price of $0.30 and each NFT Finder’s Warrant

entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.28, both for a period of 24 months after

the date of issuance.

The non-brokered private placement, including the Second Tranche, remains subject to the final approval

of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in connection with the Second Tranche bear a

statutory four month hold period which expires on November 19, 2022.

Two insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 650,000 Units under the Second Tranche,

which is a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of

LEGAL\58737026\1

Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101 "). The issuances to the insiders are

exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in reliance

of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, on the basis that participation in the Second

Tranche by the insiders did not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market

capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected

closing of the Second Tranche as the details of the Second Tranche and the participation therein by

related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to

close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
