Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

The Board of Directors of Augusta Gold Corp. (the “Company”), has established Tuesday, June 15, 2021 as the date of the Company's 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2021 Annual Meeting"). Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 19, 2021 and only such stockholders will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The time and location of the 2021 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on May 15, 2020, the deadline for submission of any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the deadlines for any stockholder to submit a nominee to serve as director or to submit a proposal to be considered at the meeting or for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials outside of Rule 14a-8, as set forth in the Company's proxy statement, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 14, 2020, no longer apply. Pursuant to the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws") and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by means of this report.

To be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2021 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by April 5, 2021, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting.

In accordance with the Company's Bylaws, because the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting will be delayed by more than thirty days after the anniversary of the Company's 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, in order for a stockholder entitled to vote to bring a proposal or submit a nominee for director at the 2021 Annual Meeting, such stockholder must give notice to the Company in accordance with its Bylaws of such proposal or nominee and such notice by such stockholder must be received no later than the close of business on the 5^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting is first made. Accordingly, notice of stockholder proposals or nominations for director for the 2021 Annual Meeting must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Vancouver local time on March 27, 2021.

Proposals and notices must be in writing and received by our Corporate Secretary at Suite 555 – 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 3E1, and must also comply with the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act and the Company's Bylaws.
