Freeport Completes Private Placement

– Vancouver, British Columbia – (June 4, 2020) Freeport Resources Inc. (TSX-V: FRI) (“ Freeport ”, or the “ Company ”) announces that it has completed its non-brokered private placement (the “ Placement ”) through the issuance of 40,000,000 units (each, a “ Unit ”). The Units were offered at a price of $0.075 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company, and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.10 until June 4, 2022.

Freeport intends to use the net proceeds of the Placement to conduct due diligence on potential acquisition opportunities in the natural resources sector, retire existing debts and payables, for general working capital purposes and to ensure compliance with the continued listing requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In connection with completion of the Placement, the Company issued 1,771,184 Units to certain arms-length third parties who assisted in introducing subscribers to the Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws, expiring on October 5, 2020.

The Placement included subscriptions from directors and officers of the Company for an aggregate of 950,000 Units. The issuance of Units to directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to the Placement, are considered related party transactions within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of insider participation, as neither the fair market value of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Placement, insofar as it involves directors and officers of the Company, exceeded twenty-five percent of the market capitalization of the Company.
