Core Assets Corp. (the "Company") Suite 1450 – 789 West Pender Street Vancouver, BC, V6C 1H2

Item 2 Date of Material Change

January 21, 2022 and January 24, 2022

Item 3 News Release

The news releases were disseminated on January 21, 2022 and January 24, 2022 through FCS Wire.

Item 4 Summary of Material Change

The Company announced that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), as described in its News Release of December 29, 2021, pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 6,657,752 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.24 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,597,860.48.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a "Share") in the capital of the Company and one transferable Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share (each, a "Warrant Share") for a period of two years from the closing date (the "Closing Date") at an exercise price of $0.39 per Warrant Share.

In connection with the Offering, Crescat Portfolio Management LLC ("Crescat") and certain accounts managed by Crescat Portfolio Management LLC collectively made an strategic investment in the Company of approximately $1,275,000 (the "Crescat Investment"). Contemporaneous to and as consideration for the Crescat Investment, the Company granted Crescat a right to participate in future financings of the Company (the "Participation Right") so as to allow Crescat to maintain its current equity stake. The Participation Right terminates on the earlier of: (i) the date that is 5 years from the date of grant of the Participation Right, and (ii) the date on which Crescat's ownership of Shares falls below 5% of the then outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold as required under applicable securities laws as well as an 18 month voluntary hold from the Closing Date split up into 3 releases of one third (1/3) of the securities issued in connection with the Offering every six months from the Closing Date.

The proceeds of the Offering are anticipated to be used for further exploration programs at the Company's Blue Property and for general working capital purposes. Insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering. Cash finder's fees of $4,100.64 were paid to eligible finders in connection with the Offering.

Andrew Carne and Sean Charland, directors of the Company, and Jody Bellefleur the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, were issued 20,800 Units, 85,000 Units and 25,000 Units respectively under the Offering. Accordingly, each of Messrs. Carne's and Charland's and Ms. Bellefleur's subscriptions constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance to the insiders was exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company's shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration of the securities issued to the related parties did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Company also announced that it has appointed Ms. Monica Barrington as Vice President of Exploration, Mr. Joel Faltinsky as Director, and Mr. David Gower as a Technical Advisor to the Company. The Company also announces the resignation of Mr. Scott Rose as a Director of the Company.

Ms. Barrington is an Atlin-based exploration geologist. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Honors) Degree in Earth Sciences from Memorial University of Newfoundland and holds a combined 9 years of experience in research and mineral exploration in Eastern Canada, as well as the Golden Triangle and Atlin Mining Camp of northwest British Columbia. Prior to joining the Core Assets team, Ms. Barrington was employed as Senior Project Geologist with Brixton Metals Corporation where her work focused on the advancement of their porphyry-epithermal and orogenic gold targets in British Columbia. During this time, she was responsible for the planning and management of regional exploration programs, logistics, permitting, and mine compliance for their "Thorn" and "Atlin Goldfields" projects.

Mr. Faltinsky holds a Bachelor of Engineering, Electrical & Electronics from James Cook University in Australia and has over 8 years experience working in the mining and resources sector. He has experience in operations, engineering, project management, and investor relations in Australia and Canada, with companies including BHP Billiton, BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), Anglo American, Glencore and Peabody. Notably, Mr. Faltinsky worked on-site at South32's Cannington Mine (then BHP Billiton) which is a leading producer of lead, zinc and silver. Recently, he has served as the Investor Relations Manager for Voltaic Minerals Corporation, a publicly traded company on the TSX Venture Exchange, and is currently Vice President of First Phase Media, a private digital media agency servicing public companies across Canada including mining & exploration, cannabis, tech and healthcare.

Mr. Gower holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and a Master of Science degree in Earth Sciences from Memorial University of Newfoundland. He has been active in the mineral industry for over 30 years, including positions with Noranda Inc. (now Glencore Canada Corporation) as Manager of Atlantic Canada Exploration, and at Falconbridge Ltd. At Falconbridge Ltd., Mr. Gower served as General Manager of Global Nickel and Platinum Group Metal (PGM) Exploration and as a member of the senior operating team that approved capital budgets for new mining projects. Mr. Gower has been involved in numerous discoveries and mine development projects including at Raglan, Mattagami and Sudbury, Canada, as well as greenfield discoveries in Brazil and Tanzania.
