Fredonia Mining Inc. Announces Closing of Upsized $4 Million Brokered Private Placement

Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share", and collectively the "Common Shares") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.28 per Common Share for a period of five years from the closing date of the Offering.

The Offering was led by Paradigm Capital Inc. as sole agent and bookrunner (the "Agent"). In consideration for the Agent's services, and pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement entered into on April 27, 2022 between the Company and the Agent, the Agent received compensation consisting of 1,485,213 Units (the "Broker Units) in lieu of cash, representing 7.0% of the Units issued pursuant to the Offering, other than in respect of sales made by other registered dealers participating in the Offering for which the Company issued cash compensation in the amount of the agreed-upon selling concession. Each Broker Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. The Company also granted the Agent 1,582,475 broker warrants (each, a "Broker Warrant" and collectively the "Broker Warrants"), representing 7.0% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering, with each such Broker Warrant entitling the Agent to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.18 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund ongoing exploration, updating technical studies, and for general corporate purposes.

The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor may there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Units were offered and sold by private placement in Canada to "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions and other exempt purchasers in each province of Ontario and foreign jurisdictions. The securities issued in the Offering will be subject to applicable hold periods imposed under applicable securities legislation, including a hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of issuance.

Certain directors and officers of the Company participated in the Offering. A material change report with respect to the Offering was filed less than 21 days before the closing date, which was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances for the Company to take advantage of available financing opportunities.
