NEWS RELEASE

GFG Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement Financing

10/6/2022

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GFG Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GFG) (OTCQB: GFGSF) ("GFG" or the "Company") has closed the oversubscribed, private placement financing (the "Offering") (see news releases dated August 30, 2022 and October 5, 2022) for gross proceeds of C\$2,051,743. As part of the Offering, GFG is pleased to announce that its strategic investor, Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI; NYSE: AGI) ("Alamos"), participated in the Offering on a pro-rata basis.

"The Company is pleased to close the oversubscribed financing and grateful for the continued support from our long-standing shareholders and new owners during these challenging market conditions," stated Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO of GFG. "The support from Alamos, long-term shareholders and insider participation is a testament to the quality of our assets, team and confidence in the potential of outlining the next Timmins gold deposit. The funds from the Offering will be primarily focused on advancing the Montclerg Gold Project and testing multiple targets for a new discovery within our district scale Goldarm Property."

Pursuant to the Offering, GFG issued (i) 7,200,909 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of C\$0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of C\$792,100; (ii) 4,627,153 common shares of the Company that will qualify as "flow-through shares" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("FT Shares") at a price of C\$0.13 per FT Share for gross proceeds of C\$601,530; and (iii) 4,183,810 premium units of the Company ("Premium Units") at a price of C\$0.1573 per Premium Unit for gross proceeds of C\$658,113.

The gross proceeds raised from the sale of the FT Shares and Premium FT Units will be used for exploration activities in Ontario that will qualify as "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act

$\mathbf{1}$

$\hat{\mathbf{v}}$

(Canada)). The net proceeds raised from the sale of the Units and upon exercise of the Warrants comprising, in part, the Units and Premium Units, if any, will be used for exploration activities on the Company's projects in Ontario as well as for general working capital purposes.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (which shall not be a "flow-through share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company (which shall not be a "flow-through share") at an exercise price of C\$0.17 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each Premium Unit shall consist of one FT Share and one-half of one Warrant. If during the exercise period of the Warrants, but after the resale restrictions on the underlying common shares have expired, the closing price of the common shares of the Company is at a price equal to or greater than \$0.26 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, GFG will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice, via a news release, to the holders of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days after the issuance of said news release.

Brian Skanderbeg (President, CEO and Director), Richard Johnson (CFO and Corporate Secretary), Patrick Downey (Chair), Brian Booth (Director), and Arnold Klassen (Director) have purchased a total of 100,000 Units and 685,692 FT Shares. Insiders' participation in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is also relying on the exemption from minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the insiders' participation in the Offering does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.
