Surrey, British Columbia—December 5, 2022 - Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: DAU) (Frankfurt: QXR2) (OTCQB: DAUGF) (the "Company") announces that the exchange has approved an extension up to February 4, 2022 for its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”).  To date the Company has raised proceeds of $1,678,696 through the sale of 11,990,693 Units. Securities issued as a result of closing the First Tranche and securities issued thereafter will be subject to a statutory hold period. In connection with closing the First Tranche, the Company paid finders’ fees of $17,610 and issued 125,790 non-transferable brokers warrants.

Pursuant to the terms of the Financing, each Unit consists of one common share in the equity of the Company and one one-half share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of CDN $0.25 per share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Financing.

Directors and officers of the Company will acquire Units under the Financing. Such participation is considered a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 if neither the fair market value of any securities issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
