This is further to the Company’s press releases dated January 7, 2021 and February 2, 2021.

It is located between Marathon Gold Corp.’s Valentine Gold Project to the northeast and Matador Mining Ltd.’s Cape Ray Gold Project to the southwest.

Collectively, the Altius Claims and the Rose Gold Claims, as well as any future claims added within a defined area of interest around the Rose Gold Claims and the Altius Claims, will be called the “Golden Rose Project”.

In order to acquire a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Project, the Company must issue such number of common shares in the capital of TRU (“TRU Shares”) as set forth below, and fund a total of $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures:

Date TRU Share Issuance Exploration Funding Commitment
Closing Date ("Closing Date")
of the Option Agreement
7,140,000 TRU Shares, at a deemed
price of $0.25 per TRU share
Nil
By one (1) month from
the Closing Date
800,000 TRU shares, at a deemed
price of $0.25 per TRU share
Nil
By February 23, 2022 800,000 TRU Shares, at a deemed
price of $0.25 per TRU Share
$500,000
By February 23, 2023 1,400,000 TRU Shares, at a deemed
[price of $0.25 per TRU share
An additional $1,000,000
By February 23, 2024 Nil An additional $1,500,000

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option Agreement provides that on any given TRU Share issuance date only that number of TRU Shares will be issued which will result in the total shareholdings of Altius not exceeding 19.9% percent of the issued and outstanding TRU Shares as of the date of the issuance (provided such TRU Shares shall remain issuable by TRU prior to full exercise of the Option).

In addition, TRU must pay the Rose Optionor: (i) $22,500, in cash or by issuance of TRU Shares, at the election of the Rose Optionor, on November 30, 2021; and (ii) $37,500, in cash or by issuance of TRU Shares, at the election of the Rose Optionor, on November 30, 2022. The deemed value of such TRU Shares, if issued in lieu of cash, shall be the greater of (a) $0.25 per TRU Share and (b) the closing price of such TRU Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), on the day prior to such payment date.

TRU will also have to pay the Rose Optionor a $250,000 cash bonus if TRU defines at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold on the Rose Gold Claims in the Measured & Indicated categories of a National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate. TRU shall also grant the Rose Optionor a 2.0% NSR on any future mineral production at the Rose Gold Claims.

Upon TRU fulfilling the initial issuance of TRU Shares under the Option Agreement, Altius is expected to have an approximately 19.9% ownership interest in TRU, based on the current number of issued and outstanding TRU Shares. Altius also has a right to participate in future financings by TRU in order to maintain its ownership interest up to a maximum of 19.9%. Neither Altius nor the Rose Optionor is a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as such term is defined in Exchange Policy 1.1) to the Company, nor is the Rose Optionor a Non-Arm’s Length Party to Altius, and as such the Transaction is an Arm’s Length Transaction (as such term is defined in Exchange Policy 1.1).

Upon exercise of the Option, Altius will retain the NSR from any future mineral production at the Golden Rose Project, subject to a reduction for any underlying royalty obligations held by third parties, including the royalty retained by the Rose Optionor.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, among others: (i) conditional approval of the Exchange in respect of the Transaction and the listing of the TRU Shares to be issued pursuant thereto; (ii) requisite approval by the shareholders of the Company; (iii) Altius being the registered and beneficial owner of a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Project free and clear of all encumbrances, subject to as provided in the Rose Gold Agreement; (iv) TRU adding not less than $3,000,000 of gross cash proceeds from equity financing activities and property-level transactions by February 23, 2023; and (v) no material adverse change having occurred with respect to the Company or the Golden Rose Project. The TRU Shares are expected to remain halted from trading until on or shortly after the Closing Date.

Fredericton, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2021) - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (OTC: TRUIF) ("TRU" or the "Company") wishes to provide an update to the previously announced binding term sheet dated January 6, 2021, entered into with a subsidiary of TSX-listed Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius"), for the option (the "Option") to purchase Altius' Golden Rose project (the "Golden Rose Project") located in the southwestern portion of the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (the "Transaction").

Change of Business

In connection with the Option, TRU has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for a Change of Business (as such term is defined in Exchange Policy 5.2) to a "mining issuer" from its current classification as an "investment issuer" under the Exchange's policies. The Company expects all of its current officers and directors to remain in their existing roles with the Company during the Change of Business and thereafter.

Completion of the Change of Business is subject to a number of conditions including receipt of the approval of the Exchange. The Change of Business cannot close until approval of the Exchange is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Change of Business will be completed as proposed or at all.

Trading in the common shares in the capital of the Company ("TRU Shares") will remain halted pending further filings with the Exchange, including the Geological Report (as defined below), and are expected to remain halted for approximately 30 to 60 days during the Exchange review process. Following the trading halt, the Company will also take the necessary steps to resume trading of the TRU Shares on the OTCQB Venture Market.

Prior to completion of the Change of Business, a copy of the Geological Report will be filed and posted on SEDAR. Further information on the Option Agreement (as hereafter defined) and the Golden Rose Project will be filed and posted on SEDAR upon the completion of a filing statement that will be prepared in connection with the Change of Business. The parties are also currently negotiating the definitive Option Agreement.

TRU continues to evaluate various equity financing options in connection with the Option and the Change of Business, to bolster its treasury for its anticipated initial exploration commitment at the Golden Rose Project, along with the first phase of the Company's intended drill program at its 100%-owned Twilite Gold Project.

TRU Precious Metals signs binding term sheet with Altius Minerals subsidiary for option to purchase Golden Rose Project

Fredericton, New Brunswick – January 7, 2021 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding term sheet with a subsidiary of TSX-listed Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX:ALS) (“Altius”) for the option (the “Option”) to purchase Altius’ Golden Rose project located in the southwestern portion of the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (the “Golden Rose Project”).

Fredericton, New Brunswick – January 7, 2021 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding term sheet with a subsidiary of TSX-listed Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX:ALS) (“Altius”) for the option (the “Option”) to purchase Altius’ Golden Rose project located in the southwestern portion of the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (the “Golden Rose Project”).

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Altius to explore and develop the Golden Rose Project. This partnership is consistent with our communicated strategy to build towards a district-scale presence in central Newfoundland.”

The Golden Rose Project is a regional-scale land package covering 105 kilometres squared (km2) within the Valentine Lake structural corridor, and is easily accessible via provincial highway and forest access roads. It is located between Marathon Gold Corp.’s (“Marathon”) Valentine Gold Project to the northeast, where Marathon has reported 3.09 million ounces (Moz.) Measured and Indicated gold (Au) resources (comprised of 54.9 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.75 grams per tonne (g/t) Au) + 0.96 Moz. Inferred Au resources (16.8 Mt at 1.78 g/t Au), and Matador Mining’s Cape Ray Gold Project to the southwest, which also has a known gold deposit. 

Figure 1: Golden Rose Project Regional Location

Figure 1: Golden Rose Project Regional Location

Mr. Freudman added, “On closing, this transaction will bring Altius into TRU’s shareholder base as a strategic investor with an expected 19.9% stake. This is a pivotal development for us, as this fuels our rapid progress to date and further enhances TRU’s business prospects going forward. Coupled with our 100%-owned Twilite Gold Project, TRU will now have two highly-prospective gold exploration properties along a fault zone that hosts multiple known major deposits.”

Geological Description

The Valentine Lake structural corridor transects the full length of the Golden Rose Project, hosting over 45 km of prospective strike-length for Au mineralization.

In terms of top prospects, the South Woods Lake zone has yielded historical grab samples up to 65 g/t Au, and drill intercepts including 1.37 g/t Au over 26.31 metres (m) and 2.14 g/t Au over 16.11 m. To date, the zone has been outlined to greater than 550 m on surface and remains open along strike and at depth. Gold mineralization at the South Woods Lake zone is hosted by variably textured, sheared and brecciated, intrusive rock, and within of a network of thin, anastomosing, quartz–pyrite ±arsenopyrite veins and fractures. Preliminary work suggests the gold occurs as fine, free gold.

Altius has also identified no fewer than five other historic and newly discovered prospects at the Golden Rose Project, both north and south of South Woods Lake, including several at which historic high-grade unsourced quartz-rich float have been found. Float samples testing up to 196.7 g/t Au were found at the Falls Zone, which has exposed mineralization with anomalous gold grades, as well as samples at Glimmer Pond of up to 213.8 g/t Au, which has strongly altered volcanic or sedimentary rock on the southeast side of the pond with anomalous gold grades.

(TSXV: TRU) (OTCQB: TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Barry Greene, P.Geo., who is currently the Company’s Exploration Advisor, has been appointed as Vice President, Property Development of the Company. Mr. Greene will be instrumental in identifying potential property transactions and corporate M&A prospects, alongside overseeing exploration plans to enhance the value of the Company’s investment property portfolio in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. He will also remain a member of the Company’s Technical Committee.

A geoscientist with over 30 years of experience, Mr. Greene is based in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland, only 15 kilometers’ drive from TRU’s Twilite Gold Project. Mr. Greene has worked across Canada, in the United States and internationally for multi-national geological and engineering consulting companies like Amec Foster Wheeler, Wood Plc., BP Resources Canada, and Rio Algom Exploration Inc. He also previously served for 16 years as Exploration Manager and then Vice-President of Exploration for publicly-traded Celtic Minerals Ltd.

“We are delighted to welcome Barry as a key addition to our leadership team at TRU. Barry’s expansive technical background, connections in the Newfoundland mining industry, executive-level capital markets experience, and geographical proximity to 3 of our 4 properties are a rare package.

Mr. Greene added: “I have been impressed with the TRU team’s performance, integrity, and culture since first getting involved in an advisory capacity. I look forward to helping the Company grow and monetize its various properties in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.”

TRU Precious Metals identifies drill target at Twilite Gold Project

Fredericton, New Brunswick – December 8, 2020 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a promising geophysical target has been identified as an expected starting point for drilling activity in early 2021 at TRU’s 100%-owned flagship Twilite Gold Project (“Twilite Gold”) in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

Fredericton, New Brunswick – December 8, 2020 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a promising geophysical target has been identified as an expected starting point for drilling activity in early 2021 at TRU’s 100%-owned flagship Twilite Gold Project (“Twilite Gold”) in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. The target was identified by certain of TRU’s advisors following completion of a preliminary phase 1 geophysical survey.

Twilite Gold is strategically located on the mapped extension of the Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone. Numerous advanced-stage gold exploration projects are currently underway along this district-scale shear zone, including Marathon Gold’s multi-million ounce deposit at Valentine Lake, and Matador Mining’s Cape Ray deposit. Twilite Gold is also located only 15 kilometres south of Grand Falls-Windsor, a town of approximately 15,000 which is the service and supply centre for central Newfoundland. Twilite Gold is easily accessible with an all-weather gravel road leading directly to the prospect.

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “We are excited for work to commence at Twilite Gold. In early November we acquired this drill-ready property, and based on historical data we have funded some ground-level initiatives at Twilite Gold before the winter months. Our Exploration Advisor Barry Greene, who is very familiar with the property, is spearheading our disciplined incremental expenditure. Identifying this target will position us for a head start on our 2021 plans to unearth value at Twilite Gold. At the same time, our Technical Committee is currently evaluating an overarching exploration plan and budget for our Newfoundland Gold Exploration properties for 2021.”

In mid-November, TRU engaged RDF Consulting Ltd. to undertake a limited-scope, high-resolution magnetic survey covering approximately 24 line-kilometres around known historical gold occurrences at Twilite Gold. The detailed ground magnetics survey covered the known gold prospects, including the Discovery, Spring Pit, 320 Vein and Paddy’s Pit prospects. Modeling of the geophysical data, incorporating historical diamond drilling data, reveals that the structurally controlled gold mineralization near the Spring Pit correlates directly with prominent magnetic low that continues to depth (Figure 1). The modeling also indicates that the magnetic low associated with the mineralized structure continues in a northwesterly direction for at least 600 m to the limit of the current magnetic survey (Figure 2).

The mineralized structure was intersected by three shallow diamond drill holes in a 1999 drilling program by Fort Knox Gold Resources, and all such holes contained gold mineralization. Notably, drill hole TH-99-10 intersected 8.41m @ 3.28 g/t gold at the top of the structure. The deepest hole to date on this structure intersected 13.3m @ 1.02 g/t gold.

TRU Exploration Advisor Barry Greene commented: “Magnetic lows are often associated with areas of quartz veining, brecciation and alteration, all of which was intersected in historic drilling on this structure. It is encouraging that the modeling predicts a depth continuity of the gold mineralized structure, and an intriguing domal shaped magnetic low which flanks the mineralized structure, which has not previously been drill tested. These features will be considered priority phase 1 drill targets. Also of interest is how the magnetic modeling suggests that the mineralized structure has continuity in its lateral extent, opening up an expanded area for drill targeting. We are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see drilling on this property.”

TRU has not verified the historical drill intervals contained in this press release and is not relying on them as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Note that drill hole results are select samples and are not necessarily representative of overall mineralization on Twilite Gold. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration by or on behalf of the Company or its qualified person at Twilite Gold to define a mineral resource or mineral reserve, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve.

Barry Greene, P.Geo. is a qualified person as defined by the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the contents and technical disclosures in this press release.

Fredericton, New Brunswick – November 23, 2020 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary has entered into an asset purchase agreement dated November 20, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with several arm’s length vendors (the “Vendors”), in respect of a mineral license for the Stony Lake exploration property in Central Newfoundland (the “Stony Lake Property”), along with all related permits and technical data (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

The Stony Lake Property is located approximately 5-10 kilometres (km) south of the Company’s flagship Twilite Gold Project and consists of 107 claims covering 2,675 hectares.

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “We view the Stony Lake Property as the final mineral property investment in what is only the first phase of our value creation plan for our Newfoundland Gold Exploration portfolio. This acquisition further bolsters TRU’s district-scale presence in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, along with our other properties at Gander West, Twilite Gold, and Rolling Pond.”

Geological Description

Historical lake sediment surveys at the Stony Lake Property show anomalous gold, arsenic, and antimony, and a radiometric survey shows potassium anomalies suggestive of areas of alteration. The geological environment is consistent with an epithermal model for gold mineralization in areas of Silurian, subaerial volcanism and extensional tectonics, including extensive units described as pyritic rhyolite. Two large lobes of sericitized/silicified altered rhyolite measuring approximately 4km x 3km and 3.5km x 3.6km were mapped in the late 1980’s. Work by Battle Mountain Canada Inc. (“Battle Mountain”) in 1989 and 1990 identified a new mineralized zone called the “Cliff Showing”. It consists of strong sericitization and pervasive silicification associated with disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization with weak gold values (Source: Battle Mountain (Canada) Inc. Geology and Geochemistry of the Rattling Brook Property in Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources: Geofiles 002D/0228).

The Stony Lake Property shares an overall tectonic and temporal similarity with the Pagingo / Drummond Basin deposit formerly operated by Battle Mountain in Queensland, Australia. The Drummond Basin hosts a number of significant, high-grade epithermal gold deposits, with the most notable being the approximately 3 million ounce Pagingo field (Source: Andromeda Metals website). This represents a sizable, comparable exploration model.

The Stony Lake Property has not been recently explored. However, a 1989 till sampling program by Battle Mountain carried out over an area with the highest disseminated pyrite/arsenopyrite enrichment produced 7 samples bearing visible gold, out of a total of 37, which results were not duplicated in a 1990 program (Source: Battle Mountain (Canada) Inc. Geology and Geochemistry of the Rattling Brook Property in Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources: Geofiles 002D/0228). Battle Mountain did not drill test the prospective areas but concluded that arsenic +/- gold +/- antimony bedrock anomalous areas in the Cliff Showing and the area southeast of Miguel Hill, together with their associated surficial geochemical anomalies, may be indicative of an upper arsenic zone in an otherwise concealed epithermal system. Consistent with Battle Mountain, the target for the Stony Lake Property would be a buried epithermal system below the extensive pyritic/arsenopyritic lithocap exposed at the Cliff Showing and elsewhere on the Stony Lake Property.

TRU Precious Metals signs option agreement for Rolling Pond property bordering New Found Gold’s Queensway Project

Fredericton, New Brunswick – November 19, 2020 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary has entered into an option agreement dated November 18, 2020 (the “Option Agreement”) with an arm’s length individual (the “Optionor”), in respect of 11 mineral licenses covering 224 contiguous claims located in central Newfoundland (the “Rolling Pond Property”) and bordering New Found Gold Corp.’s Queensway Project.

Fredericton, New Brunswick – November 19, 2020 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary has entered into an option agreement dated November 18, 2020 (the “Option Agreement”) with an arm’s length individual (the “Optionor”), in respect of 11 mineral licenses covering 224 contiguous claims located in central Newfoundland (the “Rolling Pond Property”) and bordering New Found Gold Corp.’s Queensway Project.

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “As TRU continues to build out its mineral property portfolio, we are very excited to start investing in the Rolling Pond Property and become next-door neighbours to New Found Gold. The Option Agreement is a cost-effective, incremental approach to gain access to the prospective regional geology in the area, which is consistent with our goal to add properties of merit at justifiable prices. We are further encouraged by early findings that the nature and style of mineralization at the Rolling Pond Property appears similar to that at New Found Gold’s Queensway Project.”

New Found Gold recently reported drill results at the Queensway Project that included 44.5 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold (Au) over 6.85 metres (m), within an interval of 11.8 g/t Au over 29.15 m (source: New Found Gold press release dated November 16, 2020).

Mr. Freudman further commented “In connection with the Option Agreement, TRU will be partnering with our Technical Advisor Dean Fraser for the majority of the exploration work at the Rolling Pond Property. Dean has a wealth of experience and TRU will be drawing on his extensive geological expertise and knowledge of the property to run exploration efforts there. We believe that Rolling Pond is a top-tier exploration property in this district, and TRU being the financial partner stands to benefit from any exploration upside and discovery.”

Geological Description

The Rolling Pond Property is located in a highly prospective area along the western edge of the Mt. Peyton Intrusive Suite in Central Newfoundland, and shares its southeast border with New Found Gold’s Queensway Project. (See Figure 1 below.)

The Rolling Pond Property is host to a large well-preserved and highly underexplored hydrothermal quartz vein system measuring up to 50 to 75 m wide (true width) and containing anomalous gold grades. The system has been intersected by drilling in six historical drill holes to a depth of 160 m over a 270 m strike length. The inventory of historical drill holes have been maintained in good condition. The main zone is known to be over 1.7 kilometres (km) long and remains open along its strike length as defined by field mapping and ground geophysics. (See Figure 2 below.) The system is thought to be analogous to the Fosterville Gold District based on similar host rocks, abundant vugs in the quartz veins and the presence of local boulangerite. New targets discovered in 2018 along strike to the southeast of this structure have been identified and delineated by soil geochemistry and geophysics during 2018, but have yet to be trenched or drill-tested. Most of the Rolling Pond Property remains largely unexplored.

TRU Precious Metals Completes Purchase of Drill-Ready Twilite Gold Project

Fredericton, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2020) - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) ("TRU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases dated October 14, 2020 and October 29, 2020, it has completed the indirect purchase of 65 mineral claims located in Central Newfoundland known as the Twilite Gold Project ("Twilite"), along with all related permits and technical data (collectively, the "Purchased Assets").

Fredericton, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2020) - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) ("TRU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases dated October 14, 2020 and October 29, 2020, it has completed the indirect purchase of 65 mineral claims located in Central Newfoundland known as the Twilite Gold Project ("Twilite"), along with all related permits and technical data (collectively, the "Purchased Assets").

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: "Twilite is now the flagship asset in our Newfoundland Gold Exploration portfolio. We continue to work diligently towards assembling a district-scale property package in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, for upside potential through exploration as well as appreciation on the back of nearby discoveries by New Found Gold and others in the region."

Mr. Freudman added, "We're also fortunate that Newfoundland-based geoscientist Barry Greene, who has been involved with Twilite for some time, is now available to our team as Exploration Advisor, as originally announced on October 21, 2020. Barry can help steer our approach to advancing Twilite and our other properties, and together we're already mapping out TRU's acquisition and exploration plans for this winter and into 2021."

The Twilite Gold Project

Twilite is considered to be associated with a low sulphidation gold system and shares many characteristics with Sokoman Minerals Corp.'s Moosehead Gold Project, which is located approximately 30 kilometres (km) northeast of Twilite.

TRU Newfoundland Gold Exploration Property Portfolio

TRU Newfoundland Gold Exploration Property Portfolio

Twilite has previously been explored but not thoroughly followed up, with the most recent notable program being carried out in 2003 by Altius Resources Inc. ("Altius"). Highlights of historical exploration including that of Fort Knox Gold Resources Inc. and Altius included:

  • Discovery Prospect - selected grab samples containing visible gold returned values up to 202 g/t Au in a zone of quartz veining and silicification; channel samples returned 3.48 g/t Au and 5.3 g/t Au in a contiguous 1.0 m sample across the widest portion of the vein.

  • Spring Pit Prospect - diamond drill hole TL-99-10 intersected 5.1 g/t Au over 5.8 m, from 14.2 m to 20 m depth.

TRU has not verified the historical assay results contained in this press release and is not relying on them as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Note that grab and channel samples and drill hole results are select samples and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on Twilite. The technical information herein relating to Twilite has been supplied by the Vendor (as defined below) and has not been independently verified by TRU. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration by the Company or its qualified person at Twilite to define a mineral resource or mineral reserve; and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve.

Terms of the Transaction

As previously disclosed, the vendor of the Purchased Assets (the "Vendor") received the following consideration for the Purchased Assets: (i) 1,435,000 common shares in the capital of TRU (each, a "TRU Share") at a deemed price of $0.25 per TRU Share; (ii) $100,000 cash; and (iii) a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty from any future mineral production at Twilite, of which 0.5% can be repurchased by the Company for $1,000,000. Twilite is currently subject to a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty owing to prior owners, of which 1.0% can be repurchased for $1,000,000.

Further, the Vendor may be issued up to an additional 1,000,000 TRU Shares if certain mineral deposit discovery milestones are achieved at Twilite. All TRU Shares issuable as consideration for the Purchased Assets are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date(s) on which such TRU Shares are issued.

The acquisition of the Purchased Assets remains subject to regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Purchased Assets are the second mineral exploration holding within the Company's broader investment portfolio. TRU has acquired the Purchased Assets as a passive investment, and does not intend to operate Twilite directly. However, TRU may engage third party technical and exploration consultants to advance its mineral property holdings so as to increase their monetization potential.

His positions have included Senior Geologist and Project Manager for projects in Mexico, Canada, Argentina and Peru, including Project Manager and Qualified Person on the Morelos Sur and El Barqueno Projects in Mexico, purchased by Agnico Eagle Mines. Recently he has been working as a consultant for projects in Nevada, Ontario, and Mexico. He currently also serves as a Director for Kismet Resources, a Capital Pool Company undergoing an amalgamation transaction with TDG Gold Corp.

In connection with his appointment, and also subject to regulatory approval, Mr. Hladky has been granted 150,000 incentive stock options (“Options”) in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan. These Options have a five-year term and an exercise price of $0.26 each, and vest immediately. The Options, and any TRU shares that may be issued upon their exercise, are subject to a hold period expiring February 23, 2021.

TRU has also formed a Technical Committee consisting of Technical Advisor Dean Fraser, P.Geo.; Exploration Advisor Barry Greene, P.Geo.; and Mr. Hladky, P.Geo. The Technical Committee will advise management on the geological merit of potential NL Gold property investments and acquisitions, as well as potential contractors and exploration work to enhance the value of NL Gold’s properties.

The Company also announces that Peter van Dijken has stepped down from the Board, in order to focus on his main business endeavours as President of both Green Boy Group, a Los Angeles- and Amsterdam-based supplier of plant-based, non-GMO and organic food ingredients for commercial customers, and Green Boy Products, which sells plant-based protein powders directly to consumers online. Green Boy Group is in the midst of launching Plant-Meat ProteinTM, a non-GMO plant-based protein powder for the plant-based meat industry.

Joel Freudman, TRU’s Co-Founder and CEO, said, “We’re happy that Dave has agreed to join our Board. Drawing on his extensive international experience with gold properties will help us assess and develop the best path forward for NL Gold. At the same time, as our corporate focus increasingly pivots towards investing in the precious metals sector, Peter has decided to devote his full-time efforts to continuing to expand his own business. We truly appreciate Peter’s time on the Board, and wish him great success in growing his Green Boy companies.”

Finally, the Company announces that after market close today it intends to file its financial statements and accompanying MD&A for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, which captures the Company’s reactivation and the initial steps of assembling NL Gold. These materials will be made available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. The Company is also building a corporate website, which is already accessible as a landing page at www.trupreciousmetals.com, to provide the public with easier access to comprehensive information about TRU.
