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

VANCOUVER, Oct. 13, 2021 - MAS Gold Corp. ("MAS Gold" or the "Company") - (TSXV: MAS) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program, as described in the press release dated August 17, 2021 ("EWEIP"). A total of 23,517,353 common shares of the Company (each a "Common Share") were issued upon the exercise of 23,517,353 previously outstanding share purchase warrants (the "Outstanding Warrants"), providing aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$2,565,199.60 to the Company.

For every two (2) Outstanding Warrants that were exercised prior to 5:00 P.M. (CST) on September 16, 2021, the holder of the Outstanding Warrants received the two Common Shares to which they were otherwise entitled under the terms of the Outstanding Warrants and one additional Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, an "Incentive Warrant") entitling the holder to acquire an additional Common Share at a price of $0.20 per share until 5:00 P.M. (CST) on October 12, 2024, subject to early expiry if, commencing four months after the closing of the EWEIP, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares exceeds $0.30 for 30 consecutive trading days. A total of 11,758,672 Incentive Warrants were issued pursuant to the EWEIP.

MAS Gold received CDN$1,180,785 from EWEIP participants who elected to pay an increased exercise price equal to the original exercise price of the Outstanding Warrants plus $0.02 per underlying share in order to receive two flow-through Common Shares that will each qualify as a "flow through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") in substitution for the two non-flow-through Common Shares underlying the Outstanding Warrants. The net proceeds received by MAS Gold from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses'' ("CEE") that are "flow-through mining expenditures" (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). MAS Gold will renounce such CEE to the participants receiving FT Shares with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2021.

For those holders of Outstanding Warrants who chose not to participate in the EWEIP, the applicable Outstanding Warrants will continue to be exercisable for Common Shares on the same terms that previously existed.

MAS Gold intends to use the net proceeds to continue building on the string of recent successful drill programs at its Greywacke North and North Lake gold deposits located in Saskatchewan's highly prospective La Ronge Gold Belt. MAS Gold plans to continue drill programs on its Preview-North and Greywacke Lake properties and the recently acquired former Contact Lake gold mine property to upgrade and expand the resources. MAS Gold also intends to complete further drilling and surface geological exploration work on its other areas within the Preview-North Property, including the Point Deposit and Joe Prospect . A portion of the proceeds will be used for ongoing environmental baseline studies, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

The Incentive Warrants issued are subject to a restricted resale period ending February 13, 2022. The EWEIP is subject to the final acceptance of the TSXV.

Insiders of the Company participated in the EWEIP and, as a result, the EWEIP may constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relies on the exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction with insiders will not be more than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company and no securities of the Company are listed on a specified market set out in such section, and the Company further relies on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis of the fair market value of the transaction with insiders will not be more than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.

In accordance with applicable requirements of the TSXV, certain insiders of the Company were restricted in their ability to participate in the EWEIP such that the aggregate of all Outstanding Warrants to be exercised by such insiders of the Company pursuant to the EWEIP did not exceed 10% of the applicable Outstanding Warrants.

The Company also confirms that the non-brokered private placement announced October 4, 2021 has closed. In connection with the private placement the Company issued 350,000 Common Shares for the proceeds of $36,750, to be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. The Common Shares issued via the placement are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period.
