Attention: Steve Anderson, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Sirs:
Acquisition of 100% of the Issued and Outstanding Shares of Re- 12185849 Canada Inc. ("CanadaCorp") by Kingsview Minerals Ltd. ("Kingsview")
This letter sets out a binding letter of intent ("LOI") by Kingsview to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of CanadaCorp (the "CanadaCorp Shares") in consideration for common shares of Kingsview ("Kingsview Shares") from the shareholders of CanadaCorp (together, the "CanadaCorp Shareholders") (the "Transaction").
The matters described herein reflect our present intentions but do not constitute a complete statement of the documents and procedures necessary to effect the transactions contemplated herein. It is intended that the parties hereto will enter into a mutually acceptable formal agreement (the "Definitive Agreement"), containing the covenants and conditions set out herein and additional customary representations and warranties.
This Agreement is a statement of our discussions and understanding to date and, except as specifically provided in Section 17(g), will not be binding upon the Parties. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Parties" refers to Kingsview, CanadaCorp and each of the CanadaCorp Shareholders and a "Party" refers to any one of them.
1. TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
The Transaction is proposed to be structured as follows:
- (a) Purchase of CanadaCorp: Pursuant to the Transaction, Kingsview will acquire all of the issued and outstanding CanadaCorp Shares, free and clear of all encumbrances, in exchange for Kingsview Shares (the "Payment Shares") to be issued to the CanadaCorp Shareholders in exchange for their CanadaCorp Shares. The Transaction is expected to be effected pursuant to a share purchase agreement to be executed by Kingsview, CanadaCorp and each of the CanadaCorp Shareholders. The final structure will be determined mutually by Kingsview, CanadaCorp and the CanadaCorp Shareholders based on tax, securities, corporate law and other considerations, and the Parties will give bona fide consideration to a different form of transaction should such different form provide material advantages to one Party without materially adversely affecting the other Parties. The Transaction will be structured in a manner which is tax and cost efficient for the Parties.
- (b) Share Consideration: The total aggregate number of Kingsview Shares which will be issuable by Kingsview to acquire CanadaCorp will be 5,100,000 Kingsview Shares. The number of Kingsview Shares issuable pursuant to the transactions will be subject to a downward adjustment in the event that there are any contingent liabilities of CanadaCorp which are not disclosed in the financial statements of CanadaCorp.
- (c) CanadaCorp Securities: There are currently 5,100,000 CanadaCorp Shares issued and outstanding as provided in Schedule "A", and there are no outstanding securities convertible or exchangeable for CanadaCorp Shares or other rights to acquire CanadaCorp Shares. The Definitive Agreement will provide that no additional securities of CanadaCorp will be issued, without the written permission of Kingsview, prior to the completion of the Transaction.
Gil
- (d) Board Representation: The board of directors of CanadaCorp upon completion of the Transaction will consist of nominees chosen by the Kingsview Board of Directors at a later date.
- (e) Name: In connection with the Transaction the name of CanadaCorp may be changed to such other name as the Kingsview may agree.
2. LOAN:
In connection with the LOI, Kingsview agrees to provide CanadaCorp with a loan of Cdn\$100,000 (the "Loan"), subject to the following terms and conditions:
- (a) Kingsview and CanadaCorp will enter into a loan agreement in a form acceptable to Kingsview and CanadaCorp, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule "B";
- (b) upon execution of the loan agreement Kingsview will advance the Loan to CanadaCorp;
- (c) The Loan will carry an interest provision of 5% per annum; and
- (d) The Loan must be used by CanadaCorp as follows:
- (i) A minimum of Cdn\$80,000 must be spent on "qualifying expenditures for mineral exploration" as defined in Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") Policies on the key property (the "Key Property" as defined in Schedule C) in the portfolio of properties ("Property Portfolio", see Schedule C) owned by CanadaCorp;
- (ii) To contract a Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101, to complete a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Key Property, capable of being used for a non-offering prospectus with the British Columbia Securities Commission and the CSE; and
- (iii) Continue to maintain all mineral claims contained in the Property Portfolio in good standing.

- (a) Kingsview and their respective accountants, legal counsel, technical and financial advisors and other representatives thereof will be entitled to, subject to obtaining any necessary consents, have full access to all information and records relating to any other CanadaCorp, including, but not limited to, all related facilities, buildings, equipment, assets, records, contracts, financial statements, forecasts, financial projections, studies, permits and licences and any other documentation (whether in writing or stored in computerized, electronic, disk, tape, microfilm or any other form) or materials of any nature whatsoever. The Parties will have until September 30, 2020, to complete due diligence (the "Due Diligence Period"), provided that the Parties will be entitled to the access described above thereafter for the purpose of confirmatory due diligence until Closing.

4. DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT:
The Parties will negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into the Definitive Agreement providing for the Transaction and consistent with the terms hereof on or before October 15, 2020 or such later date as may be agreed to by the Parties (the "Definitive Agreement" Date"). The Definitive Agreement will be in a form and substance satisfactory to each of the Parties and will contain all terms and conditions concerning the Transaction. These will include customary terms and conditions, representations, warranties, and covenants which are mutually acceptable to the Parties, consistent with industry practice (including, without limitation, the representations and warranties, covenants, conditions and completion mechanics contained in this Agreement to the extent still applicable), for a transaction of the nature of the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that if, in connection with finalizing the Definitive Agreement, a particular legal structure is determined by one or both Parties hereto to be beneficial or advisable for the purpose of addressing any liability, corporate or tax concerns of the Parties, the Parties will, at such time, consider available alternatives that would best address such issues. For greater certainty, the Definitive Agreement will also contain undertakings providing that the business of CanadaCorp and Kingsview will be carried out in the ordinary course pending completion of the Transaction, and the Definitive Agreement will include prohibitions on certain specified actions during the period prior to completion, including mergers, material asset dispositions, completion of any financing other than the Financing, unauthorized borrowing or the incurring of indebtedness.
