Miramont Resources Corp. Announces Definitive Agreement for Amalgamation with Kuya Silver Corp.
Vancouver, BC — June 11, 2020 — Miramont Resources Corp. (CSE: MONT | OTCQB: MRRMF | FRA: 6MR)
(“Miramont” or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on June 10, 2020 it executed a definitive
agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") with Kuya Silver Corp. ("Kuya"), whereby the Company will acquire
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kuya in exchange for shares of the Company (the "Transaction").
The Transaction will constitute a "Fundamental Change" of the Company as defined by Canadian Securities
Exchange (“CSE”) policies.
Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will complete a consolidation of its issued and
outstanding common shares (the "Consolidation") on the basis of one post‐Consolidation common share
(the "Shares") for every ten (10) outstanding common shares in the capital of the Company. Following the
Consolidation, each of the shareholders of Kuya (the “Kuya Shareholders”) will receive 1.835 Shares in
exchange for each share held in the capital of Kuya (the “Exchange Ratio”) and holders of convertible
securities in Kuya will receive replacement securities in the Company adjusted in accordance with the
Exchange Ratio. As a condition to the completion of the Transaction, Kuya must complete a private
placement financing as detailed below (the "Concurrent Financing”). Upon completion of the Transaction
the Company will change its name to “Kuya Silver Corporation” or such other similar name as the parties may
agree to (the “Name Change”).
It is expected that the Transaction will be structured as a three‐cornered amalgamation in accordance with
Section 174 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in which Kuya will amalgamate with 2757974 Ontario
Inc., a newly incorporated, wholly‐owned subsidiary of the Company, formed solely for the purpose of
facilitating the Transaction. Following the Transaction, the amalgamated company will be a wholly‐owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Concurrent Financing
In connection with the Transaction, the Company announces that Kuya intends to complete a brokered
private placement of subscription receipts at a price of C$1.65 (“Subscription Receipts”) per Subscription
Receipt to raise gross proceeds of up to C$10,000,000. The Concurrent Financing is being conducted by a
syndicate of agents led by Cormark Securities Inc. (“Cormark”) and will include Canaccord Genuity Corp., PI
Financial Corp. and Red Cloud Securities Inc.
Each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be exchanged upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions (as
defined below) on or before the day that is 180 days following closing of the Concurrent Financing (the
“Release Deadline”), without payment of any additional consideration, for one common share of Kuya (each
a “Kuya Share”). The Company following completion of the Transaction will use the net proceeds from the
Concurrent Financing to fund exploration and engineering costs for the development of the Bethania project,
as well as to complete its obligations to acquire an 80% interest in S&L Andes Export, the entity that holds
the Bethania project.
The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing will be deposited in escrow on the closing date and shall be
released to Kuya upon Kuya having obtained the approval of the CSE and completion of certain other
administrative matters (the "Release Conditions") on or before the Release Deadline. If the Release
Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Release Deadline, or if prior to such date Kuya advises Cormark
or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Release Conditions, the escrow agent will
return to holders of the Subscription Receipts, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the
Subscription Receipts held by such holder, together with a pro rata portion of the interest earned on the
escrowed proceeds.
The Subscription Receipts issued in the Concurrent Financing will be subject to a statutory four month hold
period. Closing of the private placement is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation
and receipt of all regulatory approvals. Closing of the Concurrent Financing is expected to occur on or about
August 31, 2020.
About Kuya Silver Corp.
Kuya is a privately held Canadian‐based silver‐focused mining company, earning into an 80% interest in the
Bethania Silver Mine, located in Central Peru. Bethania was in production until 2016, toll‐milling its ore at
various other concentrate plants in the region, and Kuya’s plan is to implement an expansion and construct
a concentrate plant at site before restarting operations. Bethania produced silver‐lead and zinc concentrates
from the run of mine material until being placed on care and maintenance due to market conditions and lack
of working capital. It is expected that shortly after the closing of the Transaction and Concurrent Financing,
Kuya will close its acquisition of the 80% interest in the Bethania Silver Mine.

It is expected that upon closing of the Transaction, the Combined Company will issue from treasury
13,041,985 Shares to the Kuya Shareholders (not including the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Concurrent
Financing), and that after such issuances, the Company will have approximately 18,619,308 issued and
outstanding Shares on a non‐diluted, post‐Consolidation basis (not including the issuance of Shares pursuant
to the Concurrent Financing). Based on the foregoing, following completion of the Transaction, the current
shareholders of the Company will hold approximately 30% of the outstanding Shares and the Kuya
Shareholders will hold approximately 70% of the outstanding Shares. The Shares issuable under the
Transaction will be subject to the escrow requirements of the CSE and hold periods as required by applicable
securities laws.

Consolidation, completion of the Name Change, completion of the Concurrent Financing, and applicable
