VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 11, 2022 – Lupaka Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LPK, FRA: LQP) (“Lupaka" or the “Company”) announces that the Company will be consolidating all of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated Share for every ten (10) pre-consolidated Shares held (the "Consolidation").

The Company's shareholders approved the Consolidation on June 10, 2022, and the Company’s board of directors have set August 15, 2022 as the effective date of the Consolidation. Trading of the Shares on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") is expected to commence on or about August 15, 2022, subject to final approval by the TSXV. The new CUSIP number will be 550435309 and the new ISIN number will be CA5504353098. The Company's name and stock symbol will remain unchanged following the Consolidation.

No fractional Shares will be issued under the Consolidation as fractional Shares will be rounded either up or down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Each fractional Share remaining after conversion that is less than half of a Share will be cancelled and each fractional Share that is at least half of a Share will be changed to one whole Share. The exercise price and number of Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding convertible securities, including incentive stock options and warrants, will also be adjusted in accordance with the Consolidation ratio.

As of the date hereof, the Company currently has 160,277,702 Shares issued and outstanding. The Consolidation will reduce the number of outstanding Shares to approximately 16,027,770 Shares issued and outstanding.

The registered shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") who are holding physical Share certificates will receive a letter of transmittal (each a "Letter of Transmittal") with respect to the Consolidation, with information on how to surrender Share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company ("Computershare"). All Shareholders who submit a duly completed Letter of Transmittal along with their respective Share certificate(s) representing the pre-Consolidation Shares to Computershare, will receive a certificate or a DRS statement representing the post-Consolidation Shares. Shareholders who hold their Shares in a DRS/book position will have their post-Consolidation Shares issued out automatically 3 business days after the effective date of the Consolidation.

The Consolidation is intended to further prepare the Company to pursue new projects and develop its existing properties and assist the Company in obtaining additional financing. The Company believes that the Consolidation will increase the Company’s flexibility and competitiveness in the marketplace and make the Company’s securities more attractive to a wider audience of potential investors, thereby resulting in a more efficient market for its common shares.
