General Copper Gold Closes First Tranche of Non-Brokered Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2022) - General Copper Gold Corp. (CSE: GGLD) (FSE: 7S5) (the "Company") announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Financing"), raising aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1 million through the issuance of units at a price of $0.20 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.40 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue. Proceeds from the financing are intended for exploration on the Company's Topley Richfield property and general working capital.

The Company has closed a first tranche under the Financing, raising gross proceeds of $748,000 through the issuance of 3,740,000 units at a price of $0.20. The securities issued under this financing are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until August 28, 2022.

General Copper Gold has processed the 2021 deep seeing induced polarization survey on the Topley Richfield property to evaluate the potential of additional Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn mineralization as identified in the shaft area. The geophysical survey identified three high priority targets (Figure 1). These targets have never been evaluated and will be the initial focus of the planned diamond drill program. Modelling of target one indicates that it lies on strike to the Topley Richfield shaft mineralization. Target two is a conductive feature west of the shaft that is unexplained and may relate to a large circular body. Target three is a linear anomaly southwest of shaft that has never been drill tested. Each target will be tested by 2-3 diamond drill hole determined on the initial visual results. Samples for assay will be taken of prospective mineralization.

Mr. Garry Clark, P. Geo., of Clark Exploration Consulting, is the "Qualified Person" as defined in NI 43-101, who has reviewed and approved the technical content in this press release.
