Hanstone Gold Corp. Announces Loan Transaction

Vancouver, BC — March 6, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSX.V:HANS) will borrow up to $300,000 from an affiliate of Mr. Gurbakhshish “Bob” Hans, a director of Hanstone, under a new loan transaction.

The loan was conducted under an amended and restated loan agreement dated as of March 4, 2026, which contemplates total loaned funds of $2,325,000, encompassing past loan amounts and the principal.

The lender previously loaned an aggregate of $2,025,000 to Hanstone in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The past loan amounts are repayable on August 1, 2027, and the principal is repayable on the earlier of (i) written demand by the lender, and (ii) August 1, 2027. The principal and the past loan amounts accrue interest at 15% per annum, with interest calculated and payable annually in arrears.

The principal, the past loan amounts, and interest thereon are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all present and after-acquired property of the company.

Hanstone will use the loan for general corporate purposes approved by Hanstone’s board of directors and by the lender.

As Mr. Hans is an insider of the company, the loan is a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The loan is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 because Hanstone’s securities are not listed on any of the markets specified in MI 61-101.

The loan is exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101 because it is not convertible into or repayable in, directly or indirectly, equity or voting securities of the company and is made on reasonable commercial terms that are no less advantageous to the company than if the loan was made by an arm’s length party. Hanstone’s independent directors have approved the Loan.

A material change report respecting the loan was not filed at least 21 days before closing, which is reasonable given the exemptions from MI 61-101 described above.
