New Carolin Gold Obtains Final Order for Plan of Arrangement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2021) - New Carolin Gold Corp. (TSXV: LAD) (OTC Pink: LADFF) (the "Company" or "New Carolin") is pleased to announce that it has obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the previously announced plan of arrangement with Talisker Resources Ltd. ("Talisker") pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Final Order"). Pursuant to the plan of arrangement, Talisker will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Company (each, a "Common Share") for consideration of 0.3196 of a common share of Talisker for each Common Share held (the "Arrangement").

The Arrangement was previously approved by holders of New Carolin common shares, options and warrants (the "Securityholders") at the special meeting of Securityholders held on September 9, 2021 (the "Meeting"). It is currently anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed on or about September 16, 2021 upon the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions as set forth in the definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement").

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company has agreed to settle a debt in the amount of $280,000 (the "Debt") owing to Primarius Capital Corp. ("Primarius"), a company controlled by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for unpaid consulting fees which have been accrued by the Company to August 31, 2021. Subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, the Debt will, in connection with completion of the Arrangement, be satisfied by a cash payment of $140,000 and the issuance of 1,473,684 Common Shares having a deemed issue price of $0.095 per share (representing $140,000 in value). The aforementioned debt settlement transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market (as set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101) and as the fair market value of the Common Shares that will be issued and the consideration paid do not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Further details regarding the Arrangement are set out in the management information circular of the Company dated August 10, 2021, which is available on New Carolin's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
