CEO Sean Mager commented, "This transaction solidifies 100% ownership of our highly prospective portfolio of 20(+) projects and enables Cortus to accelerate exploration programs via partnerships. We look forward to sharing results in the coming weeks as we prove up the potential for discoveries of significant new epithermal and Carlin-type gold-silver deposits in Nevada."

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 common shares to the holders of the membership interest of Intermont (the "Members"). Additionally, the Company granted to the Members, a 2% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") on each of the mineral properties of Intermont (the "Properties"), subject to a buy-back right in favor of the Company whereby the Company may acquire one half, being 1%, of the Royalty on either Property at any time prior to180 days following the earlier of (i) a production decision on the property being made or (ii) commencement of commercial production (the "Buyback Deadline") for payment of US$1,500,000, which payment may be made in cash or, if it is made within 60 days following the Buyback Deadline, through the issuance of the Company's common shares at a deemed value equivalent to its 20 day VWAP.

The Company also completed the proposed settlement of an aggregate of $288,700.15 in debt, which included the settlement of $188,700.15 in short-term debts of Intermont, through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,928,668 units at a deemed issue price of $0.15 per unit (each a "Unit"). Each Unit comprised one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a "Warrant") entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.25 per share until June 22, 2023. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry provision such that if the closing price of the Company's common shares is equal to or greater than $0.30 for a period of five consecutive trading days (at any time at or following the expiry of the four months resale restriction period), the Company may, by notice to the warrant holder in writing or via press release reduce the remaining exercise period applicable to the warrants to not less than 30 days from the date of such notice.

The securities issued to the Members for the acquisition of Intermont and in relation to the debt settlement bear resale restrictions lapsing on October 23, 2021.
