Vancouver, British Columbia - Resouro Gold Inc. (TSXV: RAU) ('Resouro' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arm's length term sheet (the 'Term Sheet') with IAMGOLD Corporation, a mining company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ('IAMGOLD'). The Term Sheet proposes that the Company would acquire from IAMGOLD it's option to acquire a 100% interest in the Peixoto Gold Project ('Peixoto Project') located in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil adjacent to the town of Peixoto de Azevedo. The Peixoto Project is comprised of eight mineral processes and rights totalling approximately 52,023 hectares and is adjacent to the Company's Novo Mundo and Santa Angela gold projects in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The mineral rights are all at the initial three-year exploration period and have Partial Exploration Reports due to be filed with the Agencia Nacional de Mineracao, being the Brazilian National Mining Agency (the 'ANM'), in August 2023.

Christopher Eager CEO and President of Resouro said, 'Resouro has made substantial progress at its 100% owned Novo Mundo Gold Project since its reverse takeover on the TSX-V in April 2022. The acquisition of the Peixoto Project will increase Resouro's Novo Mundo Gold project land holding by over 310% to 68,758 ha. This is a major holding in the highly prospective Alta Floresta Belt in Mato Grosso Brazil. The package comes with numerous gold occurrences with many historic artisanal workings and recent exploration data including drilling.'

The terms of the proposed transaction provide that the Company shall assume IAMGOLD's option to acquire a 100% interest in the Peixoto Project in consideration for, in part, the issuance to IAMGOLD of an aggregate of 2,314,471 common shares of the Company. Of these common shares, 1,157,236 would be issued within five (5) days from the date that application is made ('Application Date') to the ANM for the transfer of all of the mineral rights related to the Peixoto Project to the Company's wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, ISON do Brazil Mineracao Ltda. ('ISON Brazil'). An additional 1,157,235 common shares of the Company would be issued on the earlier of: (i) the date that is five (5) days from the effective assignment date of the mineral rights related to the Peixoto Project by the ANM to ISON Brazil, or (ii) the date that is six (6) months following the Application Date.

In addition to the above, the Term Sheet provides that the Company and/or ISON Brazil will assume all of the remaining obligations of IAMGOLD and its affiliates under the Exploration Authorization and Mineral Rights Assignment Promise Agreement dated September 12, 2018 between Cooperativa dos Garimpeiros do Rio Peixoto ('Coogavepe') and IAMGOLD's wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, IAMGOLD Brazil Prospeccao Mineral LTDA ('IAMGOLD Brazil'), together with three addendums dated (i) November 3, 2020, (ii) March 30, 2022, and (iii) July 26, 2022(collectively, the 'Coogavepe Agreement'). Subject to satisfying certain conditions, under the terms of the Coogavepe Agreement, Coogavepe agreed to assign and transfer the mineral rights related to Peixoto Project to IAMGOLD Brazil. In consideration for the assignment and transfer of these mineral rights, IAMGOLD Brazil agreed to incur certain mineral exploration expenditures and to make certain payments to Coogavepe. The material remaining obligations under the Coogavepe Agreement to be assumed by the Company and/or ISON Brazil are as follows: (i) a payment to Coogavepe in the amount of R$750,000 (approximately CDN$187,000) on or before October 31, 2022; (ii) three monthly non-adjustable payments to Coogavepe in the amount of R$250,000 (approximately CDN$62,344) each, starting on March 31, 2023; (iii) an investment of R$3,000,000 (approximately CDN$748,130) including incurring 5,000 metres of drilling during the exploration phase up to the date of lodging of a Final Exploration Report at the ANM for at least one of the Peixoto Project mineral processes; (iv) a non-adjustable payment to Coogavepe in the amount of R$750,000 (approximately CDN$187,000) after the approval by the ANM of the first Final Exploration Report for at least one of the Peixoto Project mineral processes; (v) annual payments equivalent to 1.2 kg of gold as a advance on royalties, 12 months after the approval of a Final Exploration Report by the ANM for at least one of the mineral processes, until the date that commercial production at the Peixoto Project begins; and (vi) payment pf 1.5% net smelter royalty ('NSR') to Coogavepe on the gold extracted from the Peixoto Project.
