Item 8.  Certain Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

All $ amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars

On November 24, 2021, Contact Gold Corp. (the "Company") announced closing of the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") resulting in the issuance of 57,600,000 units of the Company ("Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,880,000.

Each Unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Common Share") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional Common Share at a price of $0.075 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing date (the "Expiry Date").  In the event that at any time between four months and one day following the closing date and the Expiry Date, the Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") at a closing price which is equal to or greater than $0.15 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date such notice is provided.

The Units were offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and without qualification under Regulation A.  Units were offered and sold: (a) outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and (b) in the United States to "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period in Canada.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to undertake further drilling at Contact Gold's Green Springs gold project & continued exploration at the Pony Creek gold project, each located in Nevada, and for general working capital purposes.

Finder fees paid in cash in connection with the closing of this tranche of the Offering totaled $51,088.74. No finders' fees are expected to be payable relating to the second tranche.

The Company expects the second tranche to close on or about November 29, 2021.

The closing of the Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.
