O2Gold Inc. (NEX: OTGO.H) (“
O2Gold” or the

Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its
pending acquisition of a gold mining exploration property in Quebec
through the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Quebec Aur Ltd. (the “
Target”) pursuant to a share
exchange agreement entered into by the Company with the Target and
its shareholders dated April 15, 2024, as amended November 14, 2024
(the “

On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into
an amendment to the Agreement, pursuant to which the termination

subject to satisfying several conditions, including completion of
the Company’s previously announced non-brokered private placement
financing of 15 million subscription receipts and 15 million
flow-through subscription receipts for aggregate gross proceeds to
the Company of $1.5 million (the “Offering”).
The parties are working diligently to complete
the remaining legal formalities in relation to the Acquisition,
which is now expected to close in late November 2024, subject to
the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. The Acquisition
is more fully described in the Company’s press releases dated April
15, 2024, April 23, 2024, April 24, 2024, May 30, 2024, and August
