VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA June 7 , 2022 – Lupaka Gold Corp. (" Lupaka" or the

“Company") (TSX -V: LPK, FRA: LQP) is pleased to announce that it has completed its

previously announced one-time special dividend distribution of contingent value rights (each,

a “ CVR”) to holders of Lupaka’s common shares as of May 18, 2022 . Each shareholder

received one CVR for each common share of the Company held.

Each CVR entitle s the holder to receive a pro rata portion of any net amount available for

distribution if the Company receives a cash award (the “ Award Proceeds”) from the

Company’s ongoing arbitration proceedings with the Republic of Peru (the “Arbitration”). The

net amount available for distribution will be calculated by deducting certain amounts ,

including the fees of the Company’s Arbitration counsel and other payables and amounts to

be retained by the Company for working capital and other corporate purposes (collectively

"Excluded Amounts") from the Award Proceeds . Additionally, a de minimus threshold (the

"De Minimus Threshold") will be applied in determining if a ny payment ("CVR

Consideration") will be made to the registered CVR holders ("Holders"). The foregoing

calculation will be applied any and each time the Company receives Award Proceeds in

respect of the Arbitration. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in

the Arbitration, or receive any Award Proceeds.

The CVRs are governed by the terms of an indenture dated June 7, 202 2 (the " CVR

Indenture") between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada

("Computershare"). A copy of the CVR Indenture has been filed under the Company's profile

on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Within 20 business d ays of each date on which the Company receives Award Proceeds, the

Company will issue a news release disclosing, among other things, the Company’s receipt of

the Award Proceeds and if any CVR Consideration is payable and the amount of the CVR

Consideration.

Computershare has been appointed as the registrar and transfer agent of the CVRs and will

maintain the records and register of the CVRs at its office in Vancouver, British Columbia. The

register will contain, among other things, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of

CVRs who were registered shareholders of the Company at the time of the issuance of the

CVRs together with the number of CVRs held by each such H older. Upon request to

Computershare, any Holder is entitled to receive confirmation of the number of CVRs

apportioned on the register to such Holder. Holders of CVRs who held their shares of the

Company through a broker or other intermediary at the time of the issuance of the CVRs

should contact the broker or other intermediary to determine the number of CVRs

beneficially owned by them.

The CVRs have a term of a maximum of ten years, with the particulars detailed in the

Indenture available on SEDAR under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
