"Company" or "Val-d'Or Mining") announces that further to its news release dated May 14, 2024, and
subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), it proposes issuing up to
$430,000 in debenture units ("Debenture Units") at an issue price of $10,000 per Debenture Unit.
Each
Debenture Unit shall consist of one convertible senior unsecured debenture with a principal amount of

Each Warrant will be exercisable for a period of 12 months from the closing of the offering, at an
exercise price per Warrant of $0.07.
The Debentures will have a term of 12 months from closing of the offering, subject to early redemption

cash or shares at maturity or redemption. At maturity, the Debentures will be converted into fully paid

prior to the maturity date, on providing the holders with 30 days' notice, the Company will have the right to
redeem the Debentures, by paying the principal amount of the Debentures and any accrued and unpaid
interest in cash.
The accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures can be paid by the Company on
maturity in common shares of the Company at a deemed price per share equal to the Market Price (as
such term is defined in Exchange policies) of the Company's shares at the time of such payment.
Within 30 days of a change of control of the Company (which means a change in the legal or effective
control of the Company or affiliates, whether as a result of, or in connection
with, a take-over bid,
amalgamation, arrangement, merger, or other form of business combination, asset disposition, election
of directors, or any combination of the foregoing transactions), the holders of the Debentures have the
option to require the Company to repurchase its Debentures then outstanding, in cash, at a price equal
to (i) 125% of the outstanding amount of the Debentures, plus; (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest, in
cash.
The Debentures, Warrants and all securities issuable on the conversion or exercise thereof will be
subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance of the Debentures and
Warrants, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The offering is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange and receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals.
Directors and/or officers of the Company may participate in the offering.
Participation by insiders
constitutes a related party transaction under Policy 5.9 of the Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-
101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company will avail itself of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(c) of MI 61-
101 (distribution of securities for cash) for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement and
Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement of

for general corporate purposes.
About Val-d'Or Mining Corporation

exploring its mineral property assets, most of which are situated in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of NE

After the initial value creation in the 100%-owned,
or majority-owned properties, the Company seeks option/joint venture partners with the technical
expertise and financial capacity to conduct more advanced exploration projects.
