G Mining Ventures Announces Closing of First Tranche of Private Placement Financing

All amounts are in US dollars unless stated otherwise

BROSSARD, QC / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2022 / G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:GMIN) (OTCQX:GMINF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of $98.5 million (the "First Tranche").

Pursuant to the First Tranche, the Corporation issued 160,062,500 GMIN common shares at a price of C$0.80 per share, to the following investors:

• 82,875,000 common shares to La Mancha Investments S.à r.l. ("La Mancha")
• 44,687,500 common shares to Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada")
• 32,500,000 common shares to Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado Gold")

La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado Gold now hold 19.8%, 10.7% and 19.0% of GMIN's outstanding common shares, respectively. All of the common shares sold pursuant to the First Tranche are subject to a hold period which will expire on November 23, 2022 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

• Additionally, pursuant to the previously announced $75.0 million Term Loan facility, Franco-Nevada has been issued 11.5 million common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation at an exercise price of C$1.90 per common share until July 21, 2027. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause whereby if the volume-weighted average trading price of GMIN common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is C$3.00 or greater for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, GMIN has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 days from the date of delivery of a notice by GMIN to Franco-Nevada announcing the accelerated exercise period. The Warrants have a cashless exercise mechanism to enable Franco-Nevada to avoid its holdings from exceeding 9.9% of GMIN's common shares outstanding at the time of exercise. The Warrants are subject to a hold period which will expire on November 23, 2022 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
• GMIN now has 48,969,770 warrants outstanding with a weighted average life of 2.82 years.

The second tranche of the Offering, which will consist of the issuance to La Mancha of a further 29,004,265 GMIN common shares at a price of C$0.80 per share, and which will be subject to a majority approval of the disinterested GMIN shareholders pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, is expected to close in Q3-2022.

Following the closing of the second tranche of the Offering, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado Gold will hold 25.0%, 9.9% and 17.7% of GMIN's outstanding common shares, respectively.
