PUR Pure Gold Mining Inc.

Pure Gold Mining Inc. (NEX:PGM.H) (“PureGold” or the “Company”), announces today that it has filed a court application with the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”), to be heard on March 7, 2023, seeking to extend the stay of proceedings in the Company’s ongoing Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) proceedings up to and including May 8, 2023, and approval of an Amended Interim Financing Term Sheet to provide for an increase to the authorized borrowings under the Interim Facility from US$10 million to US$15 million on substantially the same terms to the previously approved Interim Financing Term Sheet between a fund managed by Sprott Resource Lending Corp. (“Sprott”) as lender and the Company as borrower.

PureGold believes that the duration of the proposed stay extension and associated financing will provide it sufficient time to make necessary decisions on how to advance its restructuring efforts. PureGold intends to continue to engage in discussions with Sprott and interested third parties concerning a possible transaction. The PureGold Mine near Red Lake, Ontario remains in a state of care and maintenance and is expected to remain in such state for the duration of the CCAA proceedings.
