Capella Provides Update and Announces Share Consolidation and Financing

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2024 - Capella Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) (FRA: N7D2) ("Capella" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a corporate update and non-brokered financing concurrently with share consolidation. Capella will focus on its Northern Finland gold-copper projects and the advanced exploration-stage Hessjøgruva copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway, having streamlined its portfolio through the divestiture of non-core assets in the Americas.

Capella also entered in to a strategic partnership with Teako Minerals Corp. ("Teako")(CSE: TMIN) to explore and drill the Løkken copper-cobalt-zinc project in central Norway (see Company News Release dated August 19, 2024). Subject to final permit approvals, Teako currently expects to initiate first-pass drilling on the Åmot target in Q1, 2025.

The Company wishes to raise sufficient funds to scout drill the Killerö E target, the former Anglo American gold-copper target located in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt ("CLGB") of Northern Finland. At present, high interest exists for the discovery of orogenic gold-copper deposits in the CLGB, which currently hosts a world-class producing gold mine and a development-stage gold project. The Killerö E gold-copper target is broadly located on a NE-trending splay that cross-cuts the highly-prospective Sirkka Thrust Zone, which is host to a number of successful gold exploration projects. The Killerö E property is fully permitted and drill-ready, and full subscription to the financing will allow the planned drill program to proceed.

The Company has secured commitment for participation from a major gold producer as well as support from its Board of Directors.

Share Consolidation and Financing

In order to provide a solid foundation for the advancement of the priority Killerö E & W targets (historical "base of till" gold-copper geochemical anomalies) and the Saattopora W target (western extension of the former Outokumpu Oy Saattapora gold-copper mine) in the CLGB, the Company wishes to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new common share for every six outstanding shares (6 old:1 new).

In addition, Capella's Board of Directors has approved a non-brokered private placement of up to 15,000,000 units ("Units") at $0.05 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of up to $750,000 on a post-consolidated basis, with possibility to expand. Each Unit shall consist of one post-consolidated share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional post-consolidated share, at a price of $0.10 per post-consolidated share for a period of two years from date of issuance. Gross proceeds of up to $750,000 will be used for advancing the Company's Scandinavian projects and general working capital.

Furthermore, both the Company's Directors and Management have taken positive steps to contain cash costs and to reduce staff payables with some staff participating in this raise on a debt for shares exchange on the same terms as this financing excluding the warrant.

These transactions will be subject to Exchange acceptance, and finder's fees may be paid in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange guidelines. All securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a regulatory four month hold period trading restriction.
