Upon entry into the definitive agreements for the CGOC Loan Facility, the Company will issue 1,500,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to CGOC that shall vest in three equal tranches upon each of the three advances being made under the CGOC Loan Facility. The Warrants shall be exercisable until December 31, 2022, at a price of CDN$0.60 per share. The Company will have the right to accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants to 30 days after providing written notice to CGOC if the Company's common shares close at or above CDN$1.50 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days on the CSE. The principal amount advanced under the CGOC Loan Facility and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be convertible at the option of CGOC into common shares of the Company at anytime prior to maturity at a price of CDN$0.40 per share.

In addition, the Company and CGOC have also agreed to enter into subscription agreements to exchange approximately CDN$2,000,000 worth of each other's common shares (the "Share-Swap") whereby the Company shall receive a total of 3,149,606 common shares of CGOC at a deemed price of CDN$0.635 per share and CGOC shall receive a total of 5,333,333 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of CDN$0.375 per share.

Brad Eckenweiler, Chief Executive Officer of Core One, commented, "We are excited with the prospect of developing a relationship that will benefit both parties in the United States, Canada and Europe. While CGOC has expertise that can expedite our Canadian goals, I also believe our experience will assist CGOC's interests throughout California."
