VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 13, 2024 / Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY)(NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement of 5,320,000 common shares of the Company that qualify as "flow-through shares" as defined under subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec) (the "FT Shares") at a price of C$0.94 per FT Share (the "Issue Price") for total gross proceeds to the Company of C$5,000,800 (the "Offering").
The Offering was conducted by a syndicate of agents led by Haywood Securities Inc. and including BMO Capital Markets, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (collectively, the "Agents").
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), and with respect to Québec resident purchasers will also qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses" and in the "exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining expenses or oil and gas exploration expenses" within the meaning of the Taxation Act (Québec) (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's projects in Québec on or before December 31, 2025.

The FT Shares were sold to purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption ("LIFE Exemption") under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions and therefore are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. In connection with the Offering, the Agents received compensation equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering.
