Vancouver, BC, July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - KORE Mining Ltd. (TSXV: KORE) | (OTCQB: KOREF) ("KORE" or the "Company") announces that the Company has elected to exercise its right under the warrant indenture (the "Warrant Indenture") governing the common share purchase warrants of KORE issued on October 30, 2018 (the "Warrants") to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants.  Approximately 1.4 million Warrants are currently outstanding and are subject to the acceleration.

KORE forecasts it will have pro forma cash on hand of C$12.5 million assuming full exercise of the remaining 1.4 million Warrants, and the expected net proceeds from the closing of the recent Eric Sprott C$7.5 million financing announced June 29, 2020.

Scott Trebilcock, KORE CEO commented, "KORE is pleased with recent share price performance but has a long way to go to see peer valuation for our District scale gold assets.  The recent financing with Eric Sprott enables KORE to drill aggressively and take bold steps across our portfolio.  I am happy to see founding shareholders rewarded for their investment by exercising their Warrants and we look forward to generating similar returns to our current generation of shareholders."

Under the terms of the Warrant Indenture, the Company is permitted to accelerate the expiry date if the trading price of the Company's common shares listed on the TSX-V is at or above C$1.00 for ten consecutive trading days (the "Acceleration Event"). KORE is pleased to confirm that an Acceleration Event occurred as of July 13, 2020. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to August 12, 2020. Holders may exercise the Warrants before 4:00 p.m. EST on August 12, 2020 by observing the process as set out in the applicable Warrant Indenture. 

Please contact your broker, the Warrant agent under the Warrant Indenture, being Computershare, at 1-800-564-6253 or KORE at [email protected] with any questions about the Warrant exercise process. A copy of the Warrant Indenture can be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
