Amended Terms for Acquisition of Great Eagle Gold S.A.S

As previously announced the Company closed on the acquisition of Great Eagle Gold S.A.S, its new Colombian subsidiary, for a proposed aggregate purchase price of US$217,600 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price was to consist of cash in the amount of US$21,760 represented by a promissory note (the "Promissory Note") and the issuance of an interest free convertible promissory (the "Convertible Note"), for the US$195,840 balance of the Purchase Price. However, the parties have amended the terms of their agreement for the acquisition of Great Eagle Gold S.A.S. In consideration for the assumption of that company's outstanding liabilities, the Purchase Price consisting of the Promissory Note and Convertible Note has been cancelled, and as a result no securities will be issued or any cash paid for the acquisition.

About Great Eagle Gold Corp.

Great Eagle Gold Corp. (CSE: GEGC) (FSE: GI8), a Canadian public company, aims to be a leading digital green gold miner. Its unique strategy involves developing and acquiring certified gold resources to exchange into digital green gold tokens. By keeping the gold secured in the ground while tokenizing and monetizing its value, Great Eagle Gold Corp. introduces an innovative, ESG-friendly approach to wealth creation in the traditional gold mining industry.

Great Eagle Gold's inaugural gold resource development project is situated in Colombia's second-largest gold-producing region, Bajo Cauca. Hacienda Río Rayo encompasses three fully permitted exploration and production concessions, hosting nine active alluvial gold mining operations with an average monthly output of approximately 35 kilograms. The total area covered by these three concessions is 2,523 hectares. Despite its rich history of gold production, this extensive area has never undergone modern exploration or certification of gold resources. Identifying and quantifying this untapped potential is Great Eagle Gold's primary focus. Moreover, Colombia is anticipated to be the first country to enact green gold legislation, as championed by the International Green Gold Council, thus pioneering the way for a thriving green gold tokenization industry.

Besides its Colombian project, Great Eagle Gold's global acquisition strategy targets existing mining titles with NI 43-101 certified gold resources. This approach is in anticipation of a wave of green gold legislation, which is expected to open tokenization opportunities worldwide.
