EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment) relates to the registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed by Corvus Gold Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2019, as amended on February 15, 2019 pertaining to the offering by the Company from time to time, of common shares in the capital of the Company, without par value (“Common Shares”), warrants to purchase Common Shares (“Warrants”), subscription receipts for Common Shares (“Subscription Receipts”), or any combination thereof (“Units”) (collectively, the Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, and Units, the “Securities”) with up to an aggregate initial offering price of US$30,000,000 in one or more transactions.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2021 (the “Arrangement Agreement”), by and among the Company, 1323606 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, an unlimited liability company existing under the laws of British Columbia (the “Purchaser”) and AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc, a public limited company existing under the laws of the Isle of Man (the “Guarantor”), at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver Time) on January 18, 2022, the Company consummated the statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares not already owned by AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AGA”) and its affiliates for C$4.10 per Common Share (the “Consideration”). Subsequently, the Purchaser and the Company were amalgamated to form one corporate entity (Corvus Gold ULC), with the legal existence of the Purchaser surviving the amalgamation and the Company’s Common Shares were canceled pursuant to the Arrangement. AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Holdings Inc., which is the direct parent company of the Purchaser, received one common share in the authorized share structure of Corvus Gold ULC for each common share previously held by AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Holdings Inc. in the Purchaser. Corvus Gold ULC is now an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Limited.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated as of the date hereof. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Securities that had been registered for issuance and remain unsold at the termination of such offering, Corvus Gold ULC hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all of such Securities registered and remaining unsold under the Registration Statement.
