Vancouver, British Columbia, May 21st, 2020: further to its news release dated February 27,
2020, Golden Opportunity Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Golden Opportunity”) (CSE:

in Mirasol’s 73,411 hectare Virginia silver project located in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina
(the “Project”).
Private Placement
In addition, Golden Opportunity is pleased to announce it has closed its over-subscribed non-
brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,200,000 (the “Private
Placement”) through the issuance of up to 22,000,000 units of the Company (each a “Unit”) at a
price of C$0.10 per Unit with a half of a Warrant at a price of C$0.25 for two years. Each Unit
consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Share") and one half of one
common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the
holder to acquire one Share at a price of C$0.25 per share for a period of 24 months following
the date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration right that allows the Company
to give notice of an earlier expiry date if the Company’s share price on the CSE (or such other
stock exchange the Shares may be trading on) is equal to or greater than C$0.50 for a period of
10 consecutive trading days.
The Company has paid 7% Cash Finders’ fees totaling $75,250 and issued 752,500 Broker
Warrants which have the same terms as the subscribers’ warrants described above.
Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration expenditures on the Project, for
accounts payable and for ongoing general working capital requirements.

period as required by applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities
Exchange.
