VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Onyx Gold Corp. ("Onyx" or the "Company") (TSXV: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF) announces today that it has entered into an agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. (as sole bookrunner) and Canaccord Genuity Corp. to act as co-lead underwriters on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") in connection with a "bought deal" private placement of: (i) 4,740,000 common shares of the Company that will each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $2.11 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of $10,001,400, and (ii) 3,333,500 common shares of the Company (the "HD Shares") at a price of $1.50 per HD Share, for gross proceeds of $5,000,250, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $15,001,650 (the "Offering").

In addition, the Company will grant the Underwriters an option (the "Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional $2,000,000, on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, by giving written notice of the exercise of the Option, or a part thereof, to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to Closing Date (as defined below).

The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur (or be deemed to incur) eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's projects in Ontario, on or before December 31, 2026, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2025.  If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency or the Company is unable to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Shares, as applicable, for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

The net proceeds from the HD Shares will be used by the Company for exploration of its mineral properties and general corporate purposes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about October 2, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), or such other date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the FT Shares and HD Shares will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in all Provinces of Canada and/or other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption").  The FT Shares and HD Shares issued under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

There is an offering document related to the Offering and the use by the Company of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption that can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.onyxgold.com.
