(“Sugarbowl”). Sugarbowl is an arms’-length privately held company established under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Following completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that the Company will continue be listed as a Tier 2 Mining issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and will continue the existing business of Sugarbowl. The Transaction will constitute a reverse-takeover of the Company, in accordance with TSX-V Policy 5.2 – Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers.
About Sugarbowl Copper
Sugarbowl is a privately-held company involved in the exploration and development of mineral resource projects in the Province of British Columbia. Its principal focus is on the exploration of a series of three mineral claims, totaling 3,130.22 hectares, and commonly referred to as the “Pet Silica Project”. Sugarbowl holds the right to acquire the Pet Silica Project, subject to a two percent net smelter returns royalty, in consideration for a series of cash payments and exploration expenditures. In addition to the Pet Silica Project, Sugarbowl also holds the right to acquire a further two mineral claims, totaling 1,174.76 hectares, and commonly referred to as the “Goat Project”.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company has commissioned a geological report on the Pet Silica Project which is expected to be the principal focus of the Company following completion of the Transaction. Prior to completion of the Transaction, a copy of the geological report will be filed and posted the issuer profile for the Company on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
Information concerning the shareholder base of Sugarbowl, as well as significant financial information regarding Sugarbowl, will be provided by the Company as soon as it becomes available.
About the Transaction
The capital structure of the Company currently consists of 16,956,056 common shares (each, a “PGP Share”). Except for 5,000,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $0.05 until June 19, 2029, there are no outstanding securities or rights of the Company which are convertible or have the right to acquire PGP Shares. The capital structure of Sugarbowl currently consists of 78,800,000 common shares (each, an “SBC Share”) and an equivalent number of share purchase warrants. Immediately prior to completion of the Transaction, the Company will consolidate (the “Consolidation”) the outstanding PGP Shares on a ten-for-one basis (each post-Consolidation PGP Share, a “Resulting Issuer Share”).
In consideration for Transaction, the Company will issue 20,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares and 10,000,000 share purchase warrants (each, a “Resulting Issuer Warrant”) to the existing share and warrant holders of Sugarbowl. Each Resulting Issuer Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of sixty months following issuance.
Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that the Company will change its name and reconstitute its board of directors and management of the Company. The Company will provide further information concerning the proposed new name and directors and officers of the Company as soon as it becomes available.

Pursuant to the Letter, and in connection with the Transaction, the Company will complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing”) of subscription receipts (each, a “Receipt”) at a price of $0.15 per Receipt to raise a minimum of $650,000.
