Lumina Gold Amends Unsecured Credit Facility with Ross Beaty

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 13, 2022 /CNW/ - Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM) (OTCQX: LMGDF) ("Lumina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is proposing to amend its unsecured credit facility (the "Facility") with the Company's largest shareholder, Ross Beaty. Key amendments and terms below:

• Facility will increase from C$10.0 million to C$15.0 million.
• The Facility's term will be extended from July 5, 2023 to December 31, 2023.
• The Facility matures on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2023, (ii) two business days after the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds from one or more equity financings in excess of C$18.0 million; or (iii) the date of a change of control of the Company, at which time it must be repaid in full.
• Subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, the principal amount of any loans outstanding under the Facility, together with any and all unpaid interest accrued thereon as at the effective date of the amendments, shall be fully convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of C$0.42 per share, at the option of the lender (the "Conversion Right").
• Interest on funds advanced under the Facility remains at rate of 10.0% per annum.
• No additional bonus warrants will be granted in connection with the amendments.
• The additional proceeds will be used for remaining Pre-feasibility Study costs, and general corporate and working capital purposes. The current outstanding balance on the Facility is C$10.0 million (plus accrued interest).

Any common shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right shall be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date that the corresponding principal amount was loaned to the Company.

Mr. Beaty is considered a "related party" of the Company, and the Facility and the Conversion Right constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Take-over Bids and Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Facility and the Conversion Right are exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Facility and the Conversion Right, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the Facility and the Conversion Right, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

To the knowledge of the Company or any director or senior officer of the Company, after reasonable inquiry, no "prior valuations" (as defined in MI 61-101) in respect of the Company that relate to the Facility or the Conversion Right, or are relevant to the Facility or the Conversion Right, have been prepared within 24 months preceding the date hereof.

All of the terms and conditions of the Facility were reviewed and unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company on December 13, 2022.
