The Company is also pleased to announce that it has agreed to launch a concurrent private placement of the SEK equivalent of approximately C$30.5 million on the same terms as the Public Offering (the "Private Placement") from a Lundin Family related trust, and to certain other investors on a private placement basis. The Company retains the right to increase the size of the Private Placement with the SEK equivalent of up to an additional C$10 million. Any Common Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada for a period of 4 months and one day. Finders fees of up to 5% may be payable on sales made pursuant to the Private Placement, other than with respect to sales made to the Lundin Family related trust. The minimum application in the Private Placement is the SEK equivalent to €100,000. The Company may, at its sole discretion, allocate new shares for an amount below €100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the applicable prospectus regulations are available. The application period for participation in the Private Placement is expected to be from March 25, 2021 to 14:30 CET March 26, 2021. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about April 19, 2021.

The net proceeds of the Public Offering and Private Placement will be used to continue advancing the Josemaria copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina ahead of construction, repayment of certain outstanding debentures of the Company and general corporate purposes.

In respect of the Public Offering, Common Shares will be offered by way of a short form prospectus in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, other than Quebec. The Public Offering and Private Placement are expected to close on or about April 19, 2021 and are subject to Josemaria receiving all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority of a prospectus in Sweden for the admission to trading of new shares on Nasdaq Stockholm.

This news release is not a prospectus under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "EU Prospectus Regulation"). The Company has not authorized any offer of securities to the public (as defined in the EU Prospectus Regulation) in any EEA member state and no such prospectus has been or will be prepared in connection with the Public Offering or Private Placement.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

The issuance of Common Shares to Zebra Holdings and Investments S.à.r.l and Lorito Holdings S.à.r.l, entities owned by the Lundin Family trust, will constitute a "related party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as such entities are insiders of the Company. The transactions will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Common Shares issued to nor the consideration paid by such persons would exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

On behalf of Josemaria Resources,

Adam Lundin,
President and CEO
