WESDOME GOLD MINES ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Toronto, ON – October 21, 2025 – Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO, OTCQX: WDOFF) (“Wesdome” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that Wesdome’s board of directors has approved, subject to approval of the
Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") the initiation of a Normal Course Issuer Bid (" NCIB") to repurchase up to 2%
of the Company’s public float (the “Shares”) over the next 12 months . The NCIB will be conducted in accordance
with the requirements of the TSX and applicable securities laws, with purchases to be made as appropriate
opportunities arise from time to time.
Anthea Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “ The introduction of a normal course issuer bid ,
subject to TSX approval, reflects the continued strength of Wesdome’s balance sheet and our commitment to
disciplined capital allocation. With no debt and a growing cash position, we are able to fund high -return organic
growth initiatives while retaining the financial flexibility to return capital to shareholders through opportunistic share
repurchases.”
Wesdome’s board of directors believes that an NCIB represents an appropriate use of its available liquidity, after
funding strategic growth initiatives, to enhance per-share value and serve the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders.
Wesdome has filed a notice of intention with the TSX to implement an NCIB. If the NCIB is approved by the TSX,
Wesdome will be authorized to acquire up to a maximum of 2% of the public float for cancellation over a period of
12 months. Wesdome had a total of 150,969,214 issued and outstanding Shares as of October 16, 2025. The
number of Shares that could be purchased pursuant to the NCIB would be subject to a daily maximum of 182,093
Shares (which is equal to 25% of the average daily trading volume of 728,373 Shares on the TSX for the six month
period prior to October 16, 2025), subject to the Wesdome's ability to make one block purchase of Shares per
calendar week that exceeds such limits. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased by Wesdome pursuant
to the NCIB, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by management of the Company and will be
subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, share price, available cash resources, and other
opportunities to invest capital for growth , however Wesdome currently intends to acquire up to 3,013,315 Shares
pursuant to the NCIB over the next 12 months.
Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX , or alternative Canadian trading systems,
and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements at a price per Share equal to the market price at the time
of acquisition. Any Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase. Wesdome intends to
fund the purchases from its cash on hand and cash flow from operations.
