Desert Gold Provides Update for Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program

Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: DAU) (FSE: QXR2) (OTCQB: DAUGF) (the "Company") is providing an update to its press release dated September 6, 2024 announcing the warrant exercise incentive program. The Program is intended to encourage the exercise of up to 28,438,688 unlisted common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Eligible Warrants") which were issued as part of the Company's private placement which closed on December 21, 2022. Each Eligible Warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company (each a "Common Share") at a price of $0.08 per Common Share.

Pursuant to the Program, the Company is offering an inducement to each holder of Eligible Warrants ("Warrant Holders") that exercises Eligible Warrants during an early exercise period (the "Early Exercise Period") consisting of one new Warrant (the "New Warrant") in addition to the common share subscribed for. Each New Warrant is exercisable at $0.08 for 3 years. The Expiry Date of the New Warrants will be subject to an accelerated expiry upon 30 days' notice if the shares of the Corporation trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at or above $0.20, for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days.

To the extent that holders of Eligible Warrants take advantage of the opportunity to exercise their Eligible Warrants early, this will fund working capital purposes. Eligible Warrants that remain unexercised following the completion of the Early Exercise Period (defined below) will continue to be exercisable for Common Shares on the original terms as they existed prior to the Program.

The Early Exercise Period will commence on October 7, 2024 and terminate on November 6, 2024.

The Program is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and is subject to the receipt of all final regulatory approvals, including final approval of the Exchange. The number of Eligible Warrants to be exercised by insiders of the Company is limited to no more than 10% of the total Eligible Warrants.

On behalf of the board of directors,

Jared Scharf

President, CEO & Director
