Eloro Resources Announces Closing of Previously Announced Non‐Brokered Prospectus Exempt Offering Pursuant to the Listed Issuer Exemption

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Toronto, Canada, March 27, 2024 – Eloro Resources Ltd. (“Eloro” or the “Company”) (TSX: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) is pleased to announce that, further to its March 13, 2024 news release, it has closed its non‐brokered prospectus exempt offering (the “ Offering ”) of units of the Company (the “ Units ”) pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45‐106 – Prospectus Exemptions ). A total of 3,000,000 Units were issued under the Offering at a price of C$1.20 per Unit for total gross proceeds of C$3,600,000. The Company determined to limit the Offering size to 3,000,000 Units rather than utilize the maximum Offering amount of 3,300,000 Units due to excess demand for the Units and a more favorable pricing environment for the Company’s securities.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “ Common Share ”) and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a “ Warrant ”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$2.00, with the expiry date of each Warrant being the date which is the earlier of (a) March 27, 2026, or (b) two business days after completion of a Change of Control of the Company; provided that in the event that the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange is at least C$3.00 per share for a period of five consecutive trading days (the “ Triggering Event ”), the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 30 days after the date of issuance by the Company of a press release disclosing the occurrence of the Triggering Event.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for (a) a property option payment with respect to the Iska Iska project, (b) continued exploration and development of the Iska Iska project, and (c) general corporate purposes and working capital.

Two insiders of Eloro participated in the Offering (“ Insiders ”). The part of the Offering in respect of the issuance of Units to Insiders constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61‐101 ‐ Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61‐101 ”). A formal valuation was not required under MI 61‐101, as the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction involving the Insiders was only C$74,000 and, accordingly, does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization as of the date of the Offering. Similarly, minority shareholder approval was also not required under MI 61‐101 as the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction involving the Insiders does not exceed 25% of the Company’s capitalization as of the date of the Offering. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the participation of the Insiders in the

1

Offering at least 21 days before closing of the Offering as the Offering was only announced 14 days ago and the participation of the Insiders was not determined at that time.

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