NEWS RELEASE

NGEx Minerals Announces Credit Facility

VANCOUVER, September 29, 2022 - NGEx Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: NGEX ) (“ NGEx Minerals ” “NGEx” or the

“Company”) ") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a US$3,000,000 credit facility (the " Facility"),

which will be evidenced by a debenture (the " Debenture") with an effective date of September 28, 2022, to

provide financial flexibility to fund the Company's ongoing work programs and provide general working capital.

The Facility has a term of 12 months ending September 28, 2023 (the "Maturity Date"). No interest is payable

during the term of the Debenture.

The Facility has been issued by Zebra Holdings and Investments S.à.r.l. and Lorito Holdings and Investm ents

S.à.r.l. (the "Lenders"), companies controlled by a trust settled by the late Adolf H. Lundin, and insiders of the

Company. The terms of the Facility include the Company issuing to the Lenders, subject to approval of the TSX

Venture Exchange, 12,500 common shares of the Company upon closing of the Debenture and 200 common

shares of NGEx Minerals per month for each US$50,000 of the Facility outstanding from time to time up to the

Maturity Date. All securities issued in conjunction with the Facility will be subject to a four-month hold period

under applicable securities law.

The issuance of Common Shares to an insider and the entering into of the Debenture each constitute a "related

party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 ("MI 61-101"). The transactions will be

exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 -101 as neither

the fair market value of any shares issued to, or the consideration paid for, the Debenture will exceed 25% of

the Company's market capitalization.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described

herein in the U.S., or in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful. The securities

described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or to the account or benefit of a

U.S. person or a person in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration

requirements.
