Strategic Metals and Trifecta Gold Property Transaction Approved

Vancouver, B.C. – July 9, 2024 – Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX -V: SMD) ( “Strategic”) announces

that it has received final Exchange Approval for the Tombstone Belt transaction with Trifecta Gold

Ltd. (“Trifecta”) as announced by Strategic on March 4, 2024 , and approved by disinterested

shareholders as announced on June 25, 2024, pursuant to which Trifecta has the right to acquire

up to 100% interest in the Mount Hinton and ten other highly prospective, intrusion -related gold

projects located in the Tombstone Gold Belt of Yukon Territory.

Under the terms of the option agreement Trifecta can acquire an initial 70% interest in the

properties (the “First Option”) by incurring aggregate exploration expenditures of $6 million by

December 31, 2027 and issuing 305,000 Trifecta shares to Strategic. Following the exercise of

the First Option, Strategic will retain a one percent (1%) net smelter return royalty interest in the

properties.

Trifecta can acquire the remaining 30% interest in the properties (the “Second Option”) by issuing

additional Trifecta shares to Strategic equal to 9.99% of the then outstanding Trifecta share capital

at any time after the exercise of the First Option and prior to February 28, 2028, which number of

shares to be issued to Strategic will not include any shares of Trifecta then held by Strategic, but

will be subject to a maximum of 8,920,000 shares of Trifecta. Following the exercise of the Second

Option, Strategic will retain an additional one percent (1%) net smelter return royalty interest.

Trifecta can purchase the second royalty interest from Strategic for the payment of 1,500 ounces

of gold or the cash equivalent.

If Trifecta exercises the First Option only, the parties shall form a joint venture to further explore

and develop the properties.
