Vancouver, British Columbia, May 21st, 2020: further to its news release dated February 27, 2020, Golden Opportunity Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Golden Opportunity”) (CSE: GOOP) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Mirasol Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol”) to acquire a 100% interest (the “Option”) in Mirasol’s 73,411 hectare Virginia silver project located in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina (the “Project”).

Private Placement

In addition, Golden Opportunity is pleased to announce it has closed its over-subscribed non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,200,000 (the “Private Placement”) through the issuance of up to 22,000,000 units of the Company (each a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.10 per Unit with a half of a Warrant at a price of C$0.25 for two years. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share at a price of C$0.25 per share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration right that allows the Company to give notice of an earlier expiry date if the Company’s share price on the CSE (or such other stock exchange the Shares may be trading on) is equal to or greater than C$0.50 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

The Company has paid 7% Cash Finders’ fees totaling $75,250 and issued 752,500 Broker Warrants which have the same terms as the subscribers’ warrants described above.
