Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 25, 2019) - OSPREY GOLD DEVELOPMENT LTD. (TSXV: OS) (OTCQB: OSSPF) (the "Company" or "Osprey") is pleased to announce that the non-brokered private placement offering of up to $750,000 in flow through and non flow through units previously announced in the Company's news release of June 20, 2019 (the "Private Placement") has been amended and increased to up to 21,580,000 non flow through units (the "Non FT Units") at $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,079,000 (the "Offering"). In order to maximize the flexibility of the use of proceeds, the Company has elected not to proceed with the previously announced flow through units of up to $375,000 and increase the offering of Non FT Units instead. The Offering is not subject to any minimum subscription.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.075 per Common Share for 24 months from the date of issuance (the "Closing Date").

Subject to the approval of the Exchange, finders' fees, which may consist of cash and/or finders' warrants exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.075 per share for a period of 24 months, may be paid in respect of subscriptions by certain arm's length subscribers.

Closing of the private placement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The net proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration and advancement of Osprey's properties located in Nova Scotia, Canada, and general working capital. All securities to be issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
