VANCOUVER, BC, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSXV: GRG) (FSE: G6A) (OTCQB: GARWF), ("Golden Arrow" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and Mogotes Metals Inc. ("Mogotes Metals") have completed the initial closing (the "Initial Closing") of the previously announced option (the "Option") on the Mogote Copper-Gold Project, in San Juan Province, Argentina (the "Project"). Upon exercising the Option, Mogotes Metals will acquire a 100% interest in the Project.

At the Initial Closing,

   -- Mogotes Metals paid $550,000 in cash to the Company; 
 
   -- Mogotes Metals purchased 9,000,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") 
      by way of a private placement (the "Private Placement"), at a price of 
      $0.05 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one common share of the 
      Company (each, a "Share") and one warrant of the Company (each, a 
      "Warrant") for gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Warrant will entitle the 
      holder to purchase one Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise 
      price of $0.08 per Warrant Share for a period of three years from the 
      date of issuance; and 
 
   -- Mogotes Metals issued 10,714,285 common shares of Mogotes Metals (each, a 
      "Mogotes Share") to the Company. 

The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general working capital purposes.

To acquire a 100% interest in the Project, Mogotes Metals must issue additional Mogotes Shares (the "Additional Shares") to the Company having a value of $1,500,000 (the "Final Amount") on or before the first anniversary of the Initial Closing (the "Final Closing Date"). The number of Additional Shares will be determined by the volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Mogotes Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for the 15-trading days immediately preceding the Final Closing Date, subject to a minimum price of $0.1125 per Additional Share (the "Minimum Price"). If the VWAP is below the Minimum Price, Mogotes Metals will pay the difference in cash or, with the approval of the TSXV, issue additional Mogotes Shares. Mogotes Metals may also elect, at its discretion, to pay the entire Final Amount in cash.

Additionally, on the Final Closing Date, Mogotes Metals will grant the Company a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on the Project (the "Royalty"). Mogotes Metals will have the right to purchase 0.5% of the Royalty for $2,000,000 (such that the resulting Royalty will be reduced to 1% of the net smelter returns).

Mogotes Metals is an arm's length party and no finder's fees were paid by the Company in connection with the transaction.
