Debt Settlement Agreement

Concurrent with the Offering, the Company has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with APEX Geoscience Ltd., the Company's primary geological contractor, to settle $500,000 in outstanding accounts payable, incurred for prior exploration of the Company's mineral properties. The Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of $500,000 in accounts payable owing by the Company to APEX by the issuance of 8,333,334 Units of the Company to APEX (the "APEX Units") at a deemed price of $0.03 per Unit, and the issuance of a promissory note to a private corporation controlled by a principal of APEX with a principal amount of $250,000, bearing simple interest at 5% per annum, payable semi-annually, and maturing two years from the date of issuance (the "Note").

The Company is pleased to announce that it has received four (4) new five-year drilling permits from the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals to complete drill testing along with access in the target areas of Midway, Imperial, Sappho and Copper Mountain (Figure 1). These four (4) new drill permits are in addition to existing drill permits for the Motherlode Mines area, along with the Ket 28 and Dayton target areas. Subject to financing, the Company is making plans to drill test the Motherlode Mines area, including copper (Cu) – gold (Au) – silver (Ag) mineralization at the Motherlode, Sunset and Greyhound historical mines, along with the high-grade polymetallic Au-Ag mineralization identified at the historical Midway Mine area.

Highlights

Motherlode Mine Area

The Motherlode Mine produced 76,975,111 pounds of Cu, 173,319 ounces of Au and 688,203 ounces of Ag during the active periods of mining from 1900 to 1920 and then from 1957 to 1962. The Motherlode skarn mineralization is developed in the Triassic Brooklyn Formation sediments (BC Minfile 082ESE034). The Motherlode mine is road accessible and is approximately 2.5 km northwest of the town of Greenwood (Figure 1).

• The Company has collected in excess of 350 rock samples, mostly selective grab samples, from across the Motherlode project area including the newly acquired Crown Grants.
• Of the 17 samples collected from the Motherlode Pit area, a total of 9 samples yielded from 1.16% Cu up to 4.88% Cu, 12 samples yielded from 1.075 grams per tonne (g/t) Au up to 6.65 g/t Au and 8 samples yielded from 12.6 g/t Ag up to 51.3 g/t Ag.
• Of the 10 samples collected from the Sunset Pit area, a total of 8 samples yielded from 1.44% Cu up to 3.66% Cu, 9 samples yielded from 1.7% Cu up to 4.88 g/t Au and 7 samples yielded from 14.5 g/t Ag up to 55 g/t Ag.
• Various other targets including the Greyhound Pit, the Butte City Target, the Margerite Target and the Great Hopes Target have yielded a number of samples with >1% Cu and >10 g/t Au and warrant additional exploration.
• Various historical Mineral Resource Estimates (MREs) produced both prior to the last period of mining 1957 - 1962 (Fredericks, 19611) and after the last period of mining as part of a couple of historical economic studies have been recovered from the publicly available BC Property Files.
• In addition to the historical MREs, drilling in 1996 by Strathcona Mineral Services on behalf of YGC Resources (Veris Gold) intersected several zones of Cu-Au mineralization targeting the gold bearing halo to the Motherlode Skarn along the east side of the Motherlode pit in the vicinity of the historical underground workings.
• Drillhole 96-8 encountered gold in almost every sample including a weighted average grade of 0.23 g/t Au over the entire 154.23 m (506 ft) length drillhole with a number of higher grade zones in proper skarn towards the bottom of the hole (Figure 2).
• The Main Motherlode skarn was intersected at the bottom of the drillhole and returned 2.5 g/t (0.073 ounces per ton [opt]) along with significant Cu over 4.88 m (16 ft) at the end of the drillhole from skarnified Brooklyn limestone, that is associated with a strong AeroTEM conductivity anomaly.
• The drillhole collared in Brooklyn Sharpstone conglomerate and drilled through alternating skarn an altered diorite along the length of the drillhole, with the main zone at the end of the hole characterized by increased quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite veining and volumetric chalcopyrite.
• The hole was ended due to technical difficulties. Strathcona Mineral Services recommended follow-up drilling which has never been completed.

Midway

• Two new showings identified in 2023 near the historical Midway Mine including up 5.64 g/t Au (0.165 opt) from a showing 400 m to the north of Midway and up to 4.19 g/t Au (0.122 opt) from a grab sample collected about 375 m to the west of the Midway Mine.
• At least 6 new areas with anomalous gold (> 100 ppb), copper (>200 ppm) and silver in soils have been identified at Midway.
• The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver.
• At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples collected during 2022 from outcrop at the Midway Mine-Picturestone area, yielded a range of 12.05 g/t (or 0.351 opt) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 opt) Au (See Company news release dated October17, 2022).
• Three (3) of the 7 selective rock grab samples from the Midway Mine yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 opt) up to 2,140 g/t Ag (62.4 opt) (see the Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
• All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
• A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway Mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 opt) and 1,530 g/t Ag (44.6 opt), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.

Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries stated: "We are excited with the acquisition of our new drill permits along with the historical Motherlode Crown Grants and the potential battery metal and precious metal targets that they provide. We look forward to an aggressive 2025 drilling at the Motherlode Mine area and other high grade Au-Ag-Cu showings and historical mines along with additional exploration for battery metals in our current 170,000+ acre holdings in the Greenwood District."

Quality Assurance and Control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.

The technical content of this news release and the Company's technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P. Geol., P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
