Vancouver, BC – December 04 , 2025 – KORE Mining Ltd. (TSXV: KORE) (“ KORE” or the
“Company”) is pleased announce that it has closed the first tranche (“Tranche 1 ”) of its previously
announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) and that it has approved an increase to the size
of the Offering.
Closing of First Tranche
The Company issued 25,000,000 units (the “ Units”) at a price of $0.12 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$3,000,000 under Tranche 1 of the Offering. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the
Company (each, a “ Share”) and one transferable common share purchase warrant ( each, a “Warrant”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at a price of $0.16 for a period of 36 months
from the date of issuance.
The net proceeds of the Offering, including Tranche 1 and the anticipated second tranche (as defined below)
(“Tranche 2 ”), will be used to advance permitting and exploration of the Company’s wholly owned
development properties in California, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
All securities issued in Tranche 1 are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from
the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. No finder’s fees were paid in
connection with Tranche 1. The closing of Tranche 1 remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

$1,590,000 under the Tranche 1 of the Offering. Such participation constituted a “related party transaction”

approval requirements applicable to the related -party transactions under sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1 )(b),
respectively, of MI 61-101.

Tranche 2 remain unchanged from Tranche 1, with Units to be offered at a price of $0.12 per Unit for gross
proceeds of up to $2,000,000. All securities issued in Tranche 2 will be subject to a statutory hold period
of four months and one day from the date of issuance , in accordance with applicable Canadian securities
laws. The closing of Tranche 2 and the Increase of the Offering remain subject to final acceptance by the
