NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O2Gold Inc. (NEX:OTGO.H) (“O2Gold” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to complete a best efforts non-brokered private placement financing of up to 4,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of up to $200,000 (the “Offering”).

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June 30, 2026. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one day. Finder’s fees may be paid to eligible finders in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) consisting of a cash commission equal to up to 8% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering and finder warrants (“Finder Warrants”) in an amount equal to up to 8% of the number of Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including without limitation, receipt of TSXV approval. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.075 per share for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes.

In addition, the Company announces that it has changed the scheduled date of its upcoming annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”). The AGM, originally planned for July 2, 2026, will now be held on August 13, 2026.

The Company is currently evaluating a potential corporate transaction that, if advanced, may require shareholder approval under applicable securities laws and TSXV policies. O2Gold has determined that rescheduling the AGM will provide management with the necessary time to complete its evaluation and ensure that any matters requiring shareholder consideration can be presented in an orderly and efficient manner.

There is no assurance that the potential transaction will proceed, and the Company will provide further updates as required in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.
