Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – April 30, 2026 – Wescan Goldfields Inc. (WGF: TSX-V) ("Wescan" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a private placement of up to 11,363,636 units
of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.22 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000
(the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a
"Common Share") and one half Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant").
Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of
$0.35 for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issuance thereof.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to fund the 2026 summer drilling program at the
Munro Lake Project, and for general working capital purposes. The program is designed to follow up on the
encouraging results from the 2013 drill campaign, which totalled 1,052 metres and intersected significant
high-grade mineralization, including 67.1 g/t gold over 1.00 metres in EXML-002 and 7.1 g/t gold over 1.02
metre in EXML-001 (see news release dated June 17, 2013). The Munro Lake Project is located approximately
7 km Northeast of the SSR Mining Inc Seabee Mine/ Mill complex. The program is expected to commence
in June 2026.
Insiders may participate up to 20% of the Offering.
The Offering will be conducted pursuant to available exemptions from the registration and prospectus
requirements of applicable securities legislation, including sales through investment dealers, sales to
accredited investors and sales to close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the
Company. The Company intends to solicit subscriptions from subscribers who are not currently shareholders
of the Company pursuant to these exemptions.
The Company may also pay finders' fees to eligible finders in accordance with applicable securities laws and
the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The finders' fees will consist of cash equal to
6% of the proceeds raised pursuant to the Offering and one whole Common Share purchase warrant of the
Company (the "Finders' Warrants") in an amount equal to 6% of the number of Units issued pursuant to
the Offering that are attributable to finders. Each whole Finders' Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.35 for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issuance
thereof.
Closing of the Offering is subject to the receipt of the approval of the Exchange. The Offering is expected to
close on or about May 22, 2026, provided that the Offering may close in one or more tranches, but in any
event no later than May 29, 2026. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold
period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities legislation and Exchange
regulations.

United States or in any jurisdiction in which the offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful. The offer and
sale of the securities offered in the Offering has not been and will not be registered under the US Securities
