February 14, 2024 – TheNewswire – Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) / (OTC:GCCFF) / (WKN:A0RLEP) announces it has completed the shares for debt transaction announced on January 22, 2024. The debt settlement was with two non-arm’s length creditors and one arm’s length creditor (collectively, the “Creditors”). The Company has issued to the Creditors an aggregate of 4,232,503 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit in full and final settlement of accrued and outstanding indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $423,250 (the “Debt Settlement”).
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 5 years from the date of issue at exercise prices as follows: $0.12 in year one, $0.14 in year two, $0.16 in year three, $0.18 in year four, and $0.20 in year five.
The Units are subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
None of the foregoing securities have been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor will there be any sale of the foregoing securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101
The issuance of the Units to the non-arm’s length Creditor will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the non-arm’s length Creditor’s participation in the Debt Settlement in reliance on sections 5.5(g) and 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, which provide an exemption where certain financial hardship criteria set out in MI 61-101 are met. The Company’s decision to rely on the financial hardship exemption was made upon the recommendation of the independent directors of the Company, all of whom are unrelated to the non-arm’s length Creditor, with respect to the merits of the Debt Settlement and the resulting approval of the Settlement Agreements by the board of directors of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Debt Settlement as the details of the Debt Settlement and the participation therein by the non-arm’s length Creditor were not settled until recently and the Company wishes to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.
Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with high-grade targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine project which is almost fully encircled on 3 of 4 sides by Osisko Development (NSE-ODV/TSXV-ODV). Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90 km trend from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz mine have recorded production in excess of 2.6 million ounces of gold up to 1933 (Hall, 1986) and successful placer mining continues to this day.
Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 km northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Property includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 in conjunction with placer mining activities and produced 2,048 tonnes grading 3.14 g/t Au and 4.18 g/t Ag in 1932 and 1939, with an additional 217 tonnes of unknown grade reported in 1878 (BC Minfile, 2021). Hixon Creek, which dissects the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, is a placer creek which has seen limited, small-scale placer production since the mid 1860’s. From Ministry of Mines Reports prior to 1945, estimates of up to $2,000,000 worth of placer gold was mined from Hixon Creek.
