Fusion Gold Ltd. Announces Definitive Agreement and Update on Proposed Qualifying Transaction with Battery Mineral Resources Ltd

11.10.2019  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, October 11, 2019 - Fusion Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FML.P) ("Fusion" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding scheme implementation agreement dated October 11, 2019 (the "Definitive Agreement") with Battery Mineral Resources Limited ("Battery") and a support agreement also dated October 11, 2019 with Weston Energy LLC (the "Support Agreement" and "Weston", respectively), all further to the previously announced binding letter of intent between Battery and Fusion.

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Fusion will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Battery in consideration for securities of Fusion, by way a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act (Australia), and Battery will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion (together with the related transactions and corporate procedures set out in the Definitive Agreement, the "Transaction"). In connection with the Transaction, Fusion intends to consolidate its common shares on a 2.5:1 basis (the "Share Consolidation").

Fusion, after giving effect to the completion of the Transaction, is referred to in this News Release as the "Resulting Issuer".

The Definitive Agreement and Support Agreement reflect the following changes to the terms of the proposed Transaction from those set forth in the Company's initial news release dated September 3, 2019 (the "Initial News Release"):

- Weston will convert, all (previously only a minimum of US$4 million) amounts then outstanding (including all principal and accrued and unpaid interest) under the outstanding bridge loan made by Weston to Battery (with US$6.3 million currently owing thereunder) into common shares of Fusion after completion of the Share Consolidation concurrently with closing of the Transaction, at a price of US$0.50 per Fusion share (or such other price as the Battery shares are sold in the Concurrent Financing (as defined and described below));

- Weston will pay Fusion a fee of C$200,000 in the event the Definitive Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than as a result of a termination by Battery for material breach of a covenant or representation and warranty of the Definitive Agreement by Fusion, with such obligation by Weston superseding the previously announced obligation of Battery to pay such a termination fee to Fusion;

- Battery proposes to complete a "best efforts" non-brokered private placement of at least 8,000,000 common shares of Battery, at a price of US$0.50 per common share, for gross proceeds of at least US$4,000,000 (the "Concurrent Financing"), in lieu of the previously announced private placement of the same number of subscription receipts at US$0.50 per subscription receipt; and

- directors, officers and 5% shareholders of Battery will not enter into individual lock up agreements, but will be subject to the escrow provisions imposed by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange" or "TSXV"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, such parties have agreed vote their shares of Battery in favour of any resolution required to approve the Transaction.

As previously stated, additional information concerning the Transaction, Battery, Fusion, Weston and the Resulting Issuer is provided in the Initial News Release and will be provided in Fusion's Filing Statement to be filed in connection with the Transaction, which will be available under Fusion's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

In accordance with the policies of the Exchange, the Fusion common shares are currently halted from trading and will remain so until such time as the Exchange determines, which, depending on the policies of the Exchange, may not occur until completion of the Transaction.
