Vancouver, British Columbia, March 21, 202 3; P2 Gold Inc . (“P2” or the “Company”) (TSX -V:PGLD)

Project located on the Walker-Lane Trend in the Fairplay Mining District of Nye County, Nevada. (See

payment terms for the acquisition of the Gabbs Project).
In closing the restructuring, the Company issued 2,659,748 shares (the “Shares”) in the capital of the
Company to Waterton Nevada Splitter, LLC (“Waterton”), an affiliate of Waterton Precious Metals
Fund II Cayman, LP.
As part of the restructuring, the Co mpany entered into an amending agreement (the “Amending
Agreement”) with Waterton pursuant to which the Company issued the Shares and agreed to pay to
Waterton (a) US$150,000 on or before December 31, 2023, (b) US$250,000 on or before December 31,
2024, (c) US$2 million on or before December 31, 202 5 and (d) US$2.4 million on or before December
31, 2026. The Amending Agreement also contemplates, (x) if the Company raises, through the issuance
of debt or equity, in excess of C$7.5 million (excluding flow-through funds), 10% of the funds raised will
be paid to Waterton against the longest dated milestone payment and (y) on the sale of an interest in,
or of, Gabbs, the proceeds will be paid to Waterton up to the amount outstanding at the time.
Also as part of the restructuring , the Company issued to Waterton a US$4,000,000, zero coupon
convertible note (the “Note”), which has been approved by the Exchange as part of the restructuring.
The Note has a four-year term and is convertible at a price of C$0.30 per share provided that the Note
cannot be converted if all payments due under the Amending Agreement have been made at the time
the Note is called (other than if a change of control is to occur prior to repayment of the Note). The
Note can be called at any time on payment of 115% in the first year, 130% in the second year and 150%
thereafter and is due on maturity, an event of default or a change of control. Also, under the Note,
approval by the shareholders of the Company is required if conv ersion of the Note would make
Waterton a Control Person (as defined in the Exchange’s Corporate Finance Manual).
