Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2024) - Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD) (OTCQB: SGLDF) ("Sabre Gold" or the "Company") wishes to advise that it expects to be affected by the receivership of Victoria Gold Corp. ("Victoria"). Victoria has announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has granted an order appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. as the receiver and manager of Victoria including all of its property, assets and undertakings.

In September 2023, Sabre Gold sold Golden Predator Mining Corp., then a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabre Gold, which indirectly held a 100% interest in the Brewery Creek property, as well as certain other mineral assets that include the Gold Dome and Grew Creek exploration properties to Victoria. The aggregate consideration payable to Sabre Gold for the sale was $13.5 million of which $8.5 million was paid to Sabre Gold in cash on closing. The balance of the consideration is payable as follows:

(i) $0.5 million in cash and an additional $2.5 million in cash or Victoria common shares at Victoria's election, on September 14, 2024; and

(ii) $0.5 million in cash and an additional $1.5 million in cash or Victoria common shares at Victoria's election, on September 14, 2025 (together the "Remaining Payments").

Given the receivership of Victoria, the Company does not expect to receive the $3 million payment due on September 14, 2024.

The remaining payments are unsecured obligations of Victoria. It is unclear at this time, whether or not, the Company will receive any amounts in respect of the remaining payments and, if so, when such amounts would be paid. Sabre Gold intends to pursue whatever legal remedies are available with respect to receipt of the remaining payments.
