CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 25, 2024) - Prestwick Capital Corporation Limited (TSXV: PWIK.P) ("Prestwick" or the "Company") announces a proposed non-brokered private placement of 13,500,000 subscription receipts of the Company ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.20 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $2,700,000 (the "Private Placement").

The Private Placement is being completed in conjunction with the previously announced proposed "Qualifying Transaction" of the Company (the "Transaction") pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), with the result that the Company will acquire an option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% undivided interest in and to the mineral claims comprising the Baner gold project located in Idaho County, Idaho, USA (the "Baner Gold Project"). Upon completion of the Transaction, the resulting Company is expected to be a Tier 2 mining issuer on the Exchange, with a focus on gold exploration and development. See the Company's July 24, 2024 press release for additional information regarding the Transaction, Option, the Baner Gold Project and the resulting Company upon completion of the Transaction.

Each Subscription Receipt will, upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, automatically convert, without any further action or further consideration from the Subscription Receipt holder, into one (1) common share of the Company (each a "Common Share").

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending the completion of the Transaction, unless the Exchange grants a waiver for earlier release of such escrow. If the Transaction is not completed, holders of the Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive the full purchase price of their Subscription Receipts, together with their pro rata share of interest earned thereon.

The Private Placement is expected to close in Q3 2024; however, completion is subject to certain conditions, including approval of the Exchange. The Subscription Receipts issued in the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used with a view to developing the business of the Company resulting from the Transaction and for general working capital purposes.

The Company may pay a commission or finder's fee to eligible parties in connection with the Private Placement, subject to the approval of the Exchange and compliance with applicable securities laws.

The Offering will be conducted under available exemptions from prospectus requirements and will be available to existing shareholders of the Company in all jurisdictions in Canada in accordance with applicable blanket orders and rules implementing CSA Notice 45-313 - Prospectus Exemption for Distributions to Existing Security Holders and under OSC Rule 45-501 Ontario Prospectus and Registration Exemptions (collectively, the "Existing Security Holder Exemption").

Shareholders of record of the Company as at July 1, 2024 (the "Record Date") are eligible to participate under the Existing Security Holder Exemption. To rely upon the Existing Security Holder Exemption, the subscriber must: (a) have been a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date and continue to hold Common Shares of the Company until the date of closing of the Private Placement; (b) be purchasing the Subscription Receipts as a principal for their own account and not for any other party; and (c) may not subscribe for more than $15,000 of securities from the Company in any 12 month period unless they have first received advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. Existing shareholders interested in participating in the Private Placement should consult their investment advisor or the Company directly.

Where subscriptions received exceed the maximum gross proceeds under Private Placement, subscriptions will be accepted at the discretion of the Company such that it is possible that a subscription received from an investor may not be accepted by the Company if the Private Placement is over-subscribed.
