Liberty Gold Receives C$8.0 Million from Warrant Exercises
Strengthening Funding Position for Black Pine
VANCOUVER, B.C. – Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Goldˮ or the “Companyˮ) is
pleased to announce that all holders of common share purchase warrants (the “Warrantsˮ) issued in
connection with the Companyʼs May 2024 non-brokered private placement (see press release dated May
21, 2024), have exercised their Warrants prior to the May 17, 2026 expiry.
The Company has received proceeds of approximately C$8.0 million from the exercise of 17,857,681
Warrants at an exercise price of C$0.45 per Warrant, resulting in the issuance of an equivalent number of
common shares.
In addition, certain common share purchase warrants issued in connection with the Companyʼs April 2025
bought deal financing (see pr ess rel eased dated April 22, 2025 ) have also been exercised early.
Approximately 25 million warrants issued under that financing remain outstanding at an exercise price of
C$0.45 per warrant and expire on April 22, 2027.
These proceeds further strengthen Liberty Goldʼs balance sheet and enhance the Companyʼs financial
flexibility as it advances the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project (“Black Pineˮ) in Idaho through key development
milestones, including:
• Completion of the Feasibility Study, targeted for Q4 2026
• Ongoing permitting activities under the FAST-41 framework, following initiation of the Environmental
Impact Statement process
• Advancement of engineering and long-lead development activities, supporting a future construction
decision.
Combined with anticipated stage d payments from recent non -core asset sales, the Company expects
approximately US$40 million in incoming treasury funds over the next 18 months. Based on current plans
and assumptions, the Company believes it is fully-funded through a construction decision for Black Pine.
Jon Gilligan, President and CEO of Liberty Gold commented, “Warrant exercises by existing shareholders
reflect continued confidence in Liberty Gold and support our disciplined advancement of Black Pine
through feasibility and permitting . The proceeds strengthen our balance sheet as we advance key
technical, engineering, and permitting milestones, positioning the Company to advance through important
value inflection points over the coming quarters.ˮ
