UPDATE ON LISTING APPLICATION IN CANADA

VANCOUVER – SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (TSX: SGQ, HK: 1878) (“SouthGobi” or the

“Company”) announces that reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated

April 21, 2022, July 29, 2022, September 15, 2022, November 23, 2022, December 30, 2022,

January 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023 (collectively, “Announcements”). Unless otherwise

specified, capitalized terms used in the Announcements shall have the same meanings when

used herein.

The Company has been advised by the TSX -V that the TSX -V has reconsidered the

Company’s previous TSX-V Listing Application, and the TSX-V is prepared to grant approval

for the Company’s TSX-V Listing Application, once the Company is able to comply with certain

listing conditions. In light of this change in circumstance, the board of directors of the Company

convened and decided to renew their interest in listing the Company’s common shares on the

TSX-V (instead of the NEX) and resume the TSX -V Listing Appli cation. The Company

reiterates that the listing on the TSX -V offers more flexible listing requirements which better

accommodate the Company’s current operational and financial position, while still providing

Shareholders with continued liquidity on a stock exchange / board which is more recognized

than the NEX, especially for its leadership in mining issuer listings. The Company will not

further proceed with the NEX Listing Application at this stage.

The Company had received a cond itional acceptance letter from the TSX -V (the “ TSX-V

Conditional Approval Letter ”) confirming that the TSX -V Listing Application had been

approved subject to the satisfaction of certain listing conditions of the TSX -V. The Company

is targeting a tentative date for the listing of the Company’s common shares on the TSX-V and

the date of Delisting from TSX (i.e., the Effective Date) of April 17, 2023. The Company

expects that the listing conditions of the TSX -V can be fulfilled by the Company before the

Effective Date. The Company will provide further updates closer to the Effective Date on the

fulfilment status of the conditions set out in the TSX-V Conditional Approval Letter. Meanwhile,

the Company’s common shares will remain listed on the TSX until the Effective Date.

2

There may exist certain uncertainties as to whether and when the TSX-V Listing Application

will proceed. Shareholders who have any queries about the implications of the TSX-V Listing

Application are advised to obtain appropriate professional advice. Shareholders and potential

investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

If there is any inconsistency or discrepancy between the English version and the Chinese

version, the English version shall prevail.
