PFIC STATEMENT

Fury Gold Mines Limited. (the "Company") is a Canadian corporation and has passive income, it is possible that the Company meets the definition of a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") under Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for its 2023 taxable year. In general, the PFIC designation could cause certain adverse U.S. income tax consequences to shareholders, which consequences may be mitigated with respect to a shareholder by such shareholder electing to treat the PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") under Section 1295 of the Code.

Since it is possible that the Company meets the definition of a PFIC for its 2023 tax year, the Company is providing the attached 2023 PFIC Annual Information Statement (the "Information Statement") in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1295-1(g) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The Statement contains information to enable you or your tax advisor to prepare your tax return if you elect to treat the Company as a QEF.

A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF election is required to annually include in its income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains for the Company, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. Generally, the QEF election is made by attaching IRS Form 8621 to your federal income tax return field by the due date of the return, as extended. You should consult your tax advisor to determine whether you are subject to any other associated requirements.

WE RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING ANY DECISION TO MAKE (OR REFRAIN FROM MAKING) ANY ELECTION THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE ANY SUCH DECISION WILL DEPEND UPON EACH SHAREHOLDER'S PARTICULAR TAX SITUATION AND MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT AND CONTINUING U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES. WE FURTHER RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE OVERALL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP OF SHARES ARISING IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATIONS UNDER U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN LAW. THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO GIVE ADVICE IN THIS REGARD AND NO PART OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE ATTACHED STATEMENT CONSTITUTES OR SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS ADVICE.
