TORONTO, March 25, 2021 - AurCrest Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "AurCrest") (TSXV:AGO) is pleased to announce the closing of the $1,000,000 brokered private placement (the "Offering") announced on February 25, 2021 with the issuance of 3,333,333 flow-through units (the "FT Units") of the Company at a price of $0.30 per FT Unit. The Offering was led on a best-efforts basis by IBK Capital.

Each FT Unit consists of one (1) flow-through common share of the Company and one (1) common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one (1) common share until March 24, 2023 at a price of $0.40.

The Company had also granted IBK Capital an option to purchase up to an additional 25% of the FT Units exercisable at any time until 48 hours prior to Closing (the "Agent's Option"). The Agent's Option has been exercised for up to 455,000 FT Units for gross proceeds of up to $136,500. It is anticipated that closing on the Agent's Option will occur early next week.

"The entire team at AurCrest is eager to advance exploration at our Ranger Lake Gold Property," stated Christopher Angeconeb, President and CEO, "and with the closing of this financing we are well-funded to conduct our initial phase of drilling on gold targets identified through our work in 2020. We are also eager to continue to develop our understanding of the potential across both our Ranger Lake and Richardson Lake Gold Properties, with the intent of designing future exploration drilling programs. We would at this time also like to thank IBK Capital for their efforts in closing this financing."
