Precore Gold Closes Second Tranche of Private Placement

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Precore Gold Corp. (CSE: PRCG) (the “Company” or “Precore Gold”) is pleased to announce that further to its news releases of August 21, September 9, September 18, 2025 and October 3, 2025, it has closed the second and final tranche (the “Second Tranche”) of its previously-announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). The Second Tranche consisted of 2,081,662units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.18 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$374,700. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C$0.25 for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the date of issuance.

Together with the 5,555,720 Units issued under the first tranche of the Private Placement for gross proceeds of C$1,000,029.60 announced in Precore Gold’s September 18, 2025 news release, the Company has issued an aggregate of 7,637,382 Units under the Private Placement for total gross proceeds of C$1,374,729.60.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to fund exploration work and for general working capital purposes.

Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”) acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Private Placement. The Company paid an advisory fee to Canaccord in the amount of C$25,000 plus 13% HST through the issuance of Common Shares (the “Advisory Fee Shares”) at a deemed price of C$0.18 per Advisory Fee Share.

All securities issued under the Second Tranche, including the Advisory Fee Shares, are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day expiring on February 22, 2026, and are also subject to an Exchange Hold (as this term is defined under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange) for a period of four months expiring on February 21, 2026.

Paul A. Dumas, Executive Chairman of the Company comments, “This has been a successful first round of financing for the Company. Given the recent rally in the market and peaking commodity prices, we decided to close the placement below the targeted amount in order to minimize shareholder dilution at these levels. The raised proceeds will go a long way in supporting the kick off of upcoming exploration programs at the Arikepay and Lac Big-Rush projects. We plan to initiate work very shortly at our highly prospective Lac Big-Rush property in Chibougamau, Quebec ─ which is located adjacent to Northern Superior’s Croteau deposit (640,000 oz at 1.73 g/t¹) ─ a mining camp that has seen a tremendous amount of attention, especially this week with the announcement of mining giant Iamgold’s acquisition of Northern Superior, in order to create the “Nelligan Mining Complex” (Iamgold press release October 20, 2025).
