News Release

NORTH ARROW AND SPRINGBOK AGREE TO DIAMOND ROYALTY AT

LDG PROJECT, NWT

February 5, 2024 Trading Symbol: TSXV: NAR #24-01

North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV -NAR) (“North Arrow ”) announces it has granted Springbok Holdings Inc.

(“Springbok”) a 2% diamond royalty on its 100% owned LDG Project in the Northwest Territories. In exchange, Springbok

has agreed to waive its right to receive a future $1 million share payment from North Arrow, which could have been triggered

as early as this year if exploration p roceeds as planned at newly discovered spodumene pegmatites on the property. The

royalty will apply only to future diamond production and will not apply to other commodities, including lithium.

Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of North Arrow commented, “Today’s news allows North Arrow to proceed with planned

evaluation of the SD2 and SD4 spodumene pegm atites, discovered in 2023 on the LDG property, without the overhang of a

potentially dilutive $1M share payment this summer. While we believe the LDG P roject remains prospective for diamonds,

our focus over the last 12 months, and looking forward into 2024, is to evaluate the lithium potential of the LDG property and

it was therefore important for us to remove the share payment overhang while keeping the property’s lithium mineral rights

royalty-free.”

Background and Agreement Details

In April 2013, North Arrow acquired Springbok’s interest in a portion of the current LDG property, as detailed in North Arrow

news releases dated October 25, 2012 and April 29, 2013. As part of the acquisition, North Arrow retained an obligation, in

certain circumstances, to issue to Springbok that number of common shares of North Arrow having a value of $1 million. As

part of the agreement announced today, Springbok has agreed to waive its right to receive this $1 million share payment and

North Arrow has granted Springbok a 2% gross overriding royalty on future diamond production from the LDG property.

North Arrow may purchase 1% of the royalty (reducing the royalty from 2% to 1%) by making a single payment of $2 million

at any time up to 24 months a fter the date on which the first royalty payment is due. Dr. Chris Jennings, a director of North

Arrow, is a principal of Springbok. The new agreement is subject to certain terms and conditions, including the approval of

the TSX Venture Exchange.
