Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - June 3rd, 2020 – Gold Lion Resources Inc. (“Gold Lion” or the “Company”) (CSE:GL) (CNSX:GL.CN) (OTC:GLIOF) (FWB:2BC) announced today that it has amended its option agreement dated December 10, 2018 (the “Option Agreement”) respecting its Fairview Property. Gold Lion and the optionors have agreed to amend the Option Agreement so that, instead of Gold Lion being required to make a minimum of $125,000 of exploration expenditures on the Property in 2020, Gold Lion has instead fulfilled this obligation by issuing an aggregate of 255,320 common shares of Gold Lion at a price of $0.47 per share to the optionors. The issued shares are subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

Oliver Friesen, Gold Lion’s CEO, is one of the optionors under the Option Agreement, and the 255,320 Gold Lion shares have been issued to him, at the direction of the optionors. Accordingly, the issuance of the shares to Mr. Friesen is considered a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As a result of the transaction and the issuance of the shares to Mr. Oliver, his holding of the shares of the Company has increased from 0.004% to 0.91%. In reviewing and approving the transaction, Gold Lion’s board of directors considered a number of factors, including without limitation the Company’s ongoing exploration activities on its other properties and the ability of the Company to conserve cash while maintaining the Option Agreement in good standing. The Company’s board unanimously supports and unanimously approved the transaction, and there were no materially contrary views, disagreements or abstentions by any director with respect to the transaction. The transaction is exempt from the requirement under MI 61-101 to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (because Gold Lion’s shares are not listed or quoted on the markets specified therein) and is exempt from the requirement under MI 61-101 to obtain minority shareholder approval pursuant to Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 (because the fair market value of the transaction is not more than 25% of Gold Lion’s market capitalization). The Company has closed the transaction less than 21 days before the Company has filed a material change report respecting the transaction. Closing the transaction in this shorter period is reasonable in the circumstances because the amount of dilution to the Company’s shareholders was minimal, and completing the amendment and closing the transaction expeditiously was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
