Gold Basin Announces Shares for Debt Transactions and Provides Updates

Vancouver, August 9, 2024 - Gold Basin Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Gold Basin") - (TSX-V GXX, OTCQB: GXXFF) announces that it has entered into debt settlement agreements with current and former directors of the Company (the "Creditors") whereby, subject to acceptance for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), the Company will issue an aggregate of 2,416,519 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Settlement Share"), at a deemed price of $0.05 per Settlement Share, in consideration for the settlement of an aggregate of $120,826 in accrued directors fees owing to the Creditors (the "Debt Settlements"). The Company proposed the Debt Settlements to assist it with preserving its cash for working capital.

The Creditors include one former director and four current directors (together, the current directors are the "Related Parties"). The issuance of the Settlement Shares to the Related Parties will each constitute a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements, respectively, as, at the time the Debt Settlements were agreed to, the fair market value of the Settlement Shares to be issued to the Related Parties did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

All securities to be issued pursuant to the Debt Settlements will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period from the date of issuance in Canada. Closing of the Debt Settlements is subject to customary closing conditions, including the acceptance for filing of the Debt Settlements by the Exchange.

Ltd. pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement will be subject to hold periods which mirror the release schedule of the Exchange value escrow requirements (the "Hold Period Shares"). Accordingly, 10% of the Hold Period Shares will be released at the time the Exchange issues its bulletin approving the New Pass Property transaction (the "Transaction"), and 15% of the Hold Period Shares will be released every 6 months thereafter, such that all Hold Period Shares will have been released after three years. All securities issued pursuant to the Transaction will be subject to a four month and a day regulatory hold period in Canada. The Transaction remains subject to acceptance for filing by the Exchange.

The Company also announces that, subject to Exchange acceptance for filing, it has entered into a consulting agreement with Phoenix Global Investments Pty Ltd and Fadi Diab (together the "Consultants"), of New South Wales, Australia, whereby the Consultants will provide investor relations services for the Company, including assisting the Company with disclosure materials and investor communications.
