/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 8, 2023 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) ("Finlay" or the "Company") reports that it is applying to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to extend the term of 13,125,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 and expiring on December 18, 2023 issued under its private placement completed on December 18, 2019 (the "Warrants"). See the Company's press release dated December 18, 2019 (available on SEDAR+) for more information regarding the private placement.

The Company is applying to amend the Warrants to extend the expiry date from December 18, 2023 to December 18, 2024.  The foregoing amendments are subject to regulatory acceptance by the Exchange. The exercise price of $0.20 and all other terms of the Warrants will remain unchanged for the extended exercise period.

The Company further reports that 13,093,750 of the 13,125,000 Warrants are held by a control person of the Company. As such, the extension of such Warrants constitutes, to that extent, a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 (and Exchange Policy 5.9), as the fair market value of the Warrants held by the control person does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.
