CASSIAR GOLD ANNOUNCES UPSIZING OF BOUGHT DEAL PUBLIC OFFERING TO C$10.0 MILLION

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2022) - Cassiar Gold Corp. (TSXV: GLDC) (OTCQX: CGLCF) ("Cassiar Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, due to significant investor demand, the Company has agreed to amend its agreement with Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (the "Co-Lead Underwriters") as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), to increase the size of the Company´s previously announced offering from C$6.0 million to C$10.0 million. Under the revised offering, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 6,666,667 flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") to be resold to charitable purchasers at a price of C$1.50 per FT Unit (the "Offering Price") on a "bought deal" basis by way of a short form prospectus for gross proceeds of C$10,000,001 (the "Offering").

Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$1.60 at any time on or before that date which is 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.

The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for a period of 30 days after and including the closing date of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 1,000,000 FT Units for resale to charitable purchasers at the Offering Price to raise additional gross proceeds of up to C$1,500,000 to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

Proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the Offering for the exploration of the Company´s Cassiar Gold property in British Columbia, Canada.

The FT Units will be sold by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Offering is scheduled to close on or around March 24, 2022 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Cassiar Gold property spans 590 km² and consists of two main project areas: Cassiar North, which hosts a NI 43-101-compliant inferred resource estimate of 1Moz at 1.43 g/t Au (cutoff grade of 0.7 g/t) known as the as the Taurus Deposit (see National Instrument 43-101 Technical report on the Cassiar Gold property, amended Nov. 12, 2019, by S.

Minimal exploration work has been conducted since the 1950s.
