Superior Gold Provides Update On Catalyst Metals Transaction

TORONTO, March 30, 2023 - Superior Gold Inc. ("Superior" or the "Company") (TSXV: SGI) (OTCQX: SUPGF) confirms that Catalyst Metals Ltd. ("Catalyst") (ASX: CYL) has completed its placement for proceeds of A$21.5 million and announces a standby loan facility of C$5 million with Auramet International Inc. ("Auramet") for working capital for the proposed transaction.

On February 23, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which Catalyst would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Superior (the "Transaction"). One of the conditions to closing the Arrangement Agreement was the requirement for Catalyst to complete a financing of, at minimum A$20 million and a maximum of A$50 million. Catalyst has confirmed to the Company that it has completed the financing of A$21.5 million and has therefore satisfied this condition under the Arrangement Agreement.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company was permitted to enter into a bridge loan financing to provide the Company with available working capital until the closing of the Transaction. The Company has finalized the availability and terms of a senior secured standby loan facility with Auramet International Inc. ("Auramet") of up to C$5,000,000 (the "Standby Loan"). The Company may drawdown on the Standby Loan, at its election, in increments of C$1,000,000, until the earlier of the completion of the Transaction and June 15, 2023. The loan is repayable on the earlier of 10 days following completion of the transaction or June 25, 2023, provided that, under certain circumstances the Company may convert the Standby Loan into a gold loan. Such gold loan would have similar terms as the gold loan the Company entered into with Auramet on October 7, 2022, as announced by the Company on October 12, 2022. The final terms of such gold loan would be finalized based on the gold price at the time an election has been made on such conversion.

Superior and Catalyst expect the Transaction to be completed in the second quarter of 2023.

Further information regarding the Transaction will be contained in an information circular that Superior will prepare, file and mail in due course to its shareholders. Details regarding these and other terms of the Transaction are set out in the Arrangement Agreement, which will be available under Superior's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
