Perth, December 23, 2022 - Tempus Resources Ltd. (ASX: TMR) (TSXV: TMRR) ("Tempus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the non-brokered private placement previously announced on 29 November 2022 and on 5 December 2022, it has raised approximately C$680,100 (A$747,939) through the issue of 3,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$0.05 per Unit, and 8,835,000 flow-through units of the Company (the "FT Units") at a price of $C0.06 per FT Unit (the "Offering").

Each FT Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company (each, a "Share") to be issued on a "flowthrough share" basis within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "FT Shares") and one ordinary share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant"). FT Shares provide tax credits for investors for qualifying mining and exploration activities. The proceeds for the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses related to the exploration of the Company's Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for expenditures on the Company's exploration projects and for ‎general corporate purposes. ‎

Each Unit consists of one Share (each, a "Unit Share") and one ‎Warrant. The Warrants issued as part of the FT Units and Units will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of C$0.09 for a period of 24 months from the date of issue.‎

Red Cloud Securities Inc. ("Red Cloud") acted as a finder on behalf of the Company under the Offering. As consideration, the Company paid Red Cloud cash finder's fees of C$35,007 and issued to Red Cloud Mining (the parent company of Red Cloud) 618,450 broker warrants‎ ("Broker Warrants"). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one Share at a price of C$0.06 per Share for a period of 24 months following the date of issue. Canaccord Genuity Corp‎. also received a cash finder's fee of $1,050.

The FT Shares, Unit Shares, and all Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. The Offering was completed utilising the Company's available capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.
