Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 9, 2021) - INCA ONE GOLD CORP. (TSXV: INCA) (OTCQB: INCAF) (FSE: SU92) ("Inca One" or the "Company"), a gold producer operating two fully permitted mineral processing facilities in Peru, is pleased to announce it has arranged a new, gold, pre-payment facility of up to US$9.0 million (the "Facility") from OCIM Precious Metals SA ("OCIM").

Key Highlights:

• Immediate drawdown of US$6.0 million on a new gold prepayment Facility secured with OCIM.
• Proceeds from the Facility are expected to increase and maintain production at 175 to 225 tonnes per day ("TPD") at the current gold price.
• Access to an additional US$3.0 million upon payment of 50% of the Facility.

"Following the successful completion of our first non-dilutive gold facility with OCIM, it has allowed the Company to complete a new and more robust agreement," stated Edward Kelly, President, and CEO of Inca One. "This new Facility will significantly increase working capital by US$4.6 million and provide Inca One the ability to fill a significant portion of our unused mill capacity and could enable the Company to process between 175 and 225 TPD."

"We are very excited to continue our strong relationship with OCIM. The Facility will allow us to move towards profitability," added Kevin Hart, CFO of Inca One. "This funding arrangement will provide Inca One the flexibility to plan for the long-term and enable the Company to purchase and promptly pay our artisanal small-scale mining partners."

The Facility signed on August 6, 2021, will be available to Inca One in two tranches. The first tranche is for approximately US$6.0 million is payable with 4,181 ounces of gold in 16 equal, monthly payments of gold bullion of 261.3 ounces. The first payment is due 90 days after receipt of the funds, on November 4, 2021.

Net proceeds of the Facility's first tranche received by the Company also on August 6, 2021, were for approximately US$5.95 million, of which US$4.6 million will be used to purchase gold mill feed, and US$1.35 million will be used for the repayment of a secured debenture. The Facility is secured by a Canadian general security agreement and will have registered security over the Chala One Plant and equipment in favor of OCIM.

"OCIM is pleased to assist Inca One in its development to full production capacity by providing tailor-made funding that matches Inca One's business model," stated Laurent Mathiot, CEO of OCIM.

A second tranche can extend the Facility for an additional US$3.0 million at the request of the Company and the discretion of OCIM (the "Drawdown Option"). This Drawdown Option will be payable in 18 equal monthly payments of gold bullion, with the first payment due 30 days after receipt of the Drawdown Option.
