Generation Mining Limited (TSX:GENM, OTCQB: GENMF) ("Gen Mining"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a final
short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus“) with the
securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and
territories of Canada, except Quebec.
The Company has filed the Prospectus in order to have greater
financial flexibility going forward but has no immediate plans to
issue any securities under it at this time, and may never proceed
with any such issuance. Upon issuance of a receipt for the
Prospectus by the securities regulatory authorities, the Company
may issue and sell up to C$60,000,000 in the aggregate of common
shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, units, or
any combination thereof, from time to time, over the 25-month
period that the Prospectus remains effective. Should the Company
decide to offer securities during the 25-month effective period,
the specific terms, including the use of proceeds, will be set
forth in a prospectus supplement to the Prospectus, which will be
filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory
authorities.
“As the Generation team continues to advance the Marathon
Palladium-Copper Project toward final construction permits and
eventual production, global macro events independent of our project
can benefit our shareholders,” said Jamie Levy, President and CEO
of the Company. “Over the next 25 months, this prospectus will
ensure that Generation can rapidly raise capital when access is
available on favourable terms.”
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of
these securities, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
province, state or jurisdiction.
Upon issuance of the receipt, a copy of the short form base
shelf prospectus can be found under the Company's issuer profile on
SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Amended and Restated Technical
Report
In addition, today the Company has filed on SEDAR+ an amended
technical report for its Marathon Palladium-Copper Project entitled
“Amended Feasibility Study Update, Marathon Palladium-Copper
Project, Ontario, Canada” dated May 31, 2024 with an effective date
of December 31, 2022 (the “Amended Technical Report”).
The Amended Technical Report contains no changes to the material

reliance on other experts and their liability for the contents of
the Technical Report which purported to limit the responsibility
and liability of the Qualified Persons. In addition, Table 15.6 –
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Whittle Shell Results for
Combined Diluted Model is being amended to correct labelling of
certain metal grade columns and Table 16.1 – Pit Phase Design
Summary and Table 16.3 – Shell and Design Comparison are being
amended to correct an error in how certain weighted average grades
were calculated.
