("Rocky Shore" or the "Company") (CSE:RSG) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche (the "Final Tranche") of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") previously announced on September 17, 2026. Under the Final Tranche, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,977,925.50and issued 13,186,170 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") that qualify as "flow-through shares" (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "FT Shares"), at an issue price of C$0.15 per FT Share. In total, the Company has issued and sold an aggregate of 34,702,504 FT Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,205,375.60 pursuant to the Offering. Due to additional investor interest, the Company increased the size of the Offering to accommodate additional subscriptions with the requisite consent of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used for the exploration and advancement of the Company's projects in central Newfoundland.

In connection with the closing of the Final Tranche, the Company paid certain cash finders fees and issued an aggregate of 682,170 finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") to eligible finders in respect of subscriptions for FT Shares referred by such finders. Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional Common Share (a "Finder's Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.15 per Finder's Warrant Share until April 15, 2028.

All securities issued in connection with the Final Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period expiring February 16, 2027.

MI 61-101

Insiders of the Company acquired an aggregate of 270,000 FT Shares in the Final Tranche (approximately $40,500 in subscriptions), which participation constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument - 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as neither the fair market value of the FT Shares acquired by the insiders of the Company, nor the consideration for the FT Shares paid by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101. The Company expects to file a material change report including details with respect to such related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Final Tranche, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of available financing opportunities and complete the Final Tranche in an expeditious manner.
