Acquisition of TM

The Corporation is pleased to further announce that it has closed the Acquisition pursuant to the

share purchase agreement dated July 27, 2021 entered into between the Corporation, TM and the

shareholders of TM (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). TM has a 100% interest in the Nicholas -

Denys and Oxford B rook projects located in New Brunswick. Pursuant to the Share Purchase

Agreement, the aggregate purchase price of the Ac quisition was C$5,400,000, paid through the

issuance of 27,000,000 common shares of CME (each a “Share”) at a deemed price of C$0.20 per

Share.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Corporation also issued 2,160,000 Shares to Generic Capital

Corporation (“Generic”) as advisory fee shares (“Fee Shares”) pursuant to an advisory agreement

dated October 1, 2020 entered into between TM and Generic. The Fee Shares are subject to a

regulatory four month hold and a voluntary escrow providing for staggered releases over the next 18

months.

Related Party Transaction

The Acquisition constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101

required minority approval in accordance with MI 61-101, for which the votes attached to the Shares

owned by Stéphane Leblanc, Beat Fr ei and Michel Gagnon were excluded. These Shares were

excluded due to the fact that their owners are principals of both TM and CME. Mr. Gagnon disclosed

to the other directors of the Corporation his interest in TM and the Acquisition and as such, only

directors who are "independent" as such term is defined in MI 61-101 (the "Disinterested Directors")

were entitled to vote on any board resolutions, or make any decisions, to approve the Acquisition.

The Acquisition has been approved by only the Disinterested Directors.

Plan of Arrangement

On June 17, 2021, the Corporation entered into an arrangement agreement (the “ Arrangement

Agreement”) with Spinco. The Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which will be available under the

Corporation’s profile on SEDAR, sets out the terms on which the Corporation will complete the

Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) with Spinco whereby the Corporation’s

Lac Chesnaye property located in Québec will be spun out to Spinco in exchange for the issuance

of 4,300,000 Class A common shares of Spinco (“Spinco Shares”) to the Corporation.

In accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporat ion will then effect a

reorganization of its share capital and distribute such Spinco Shares to the shareholders of the

Corporation on a pro rata basis.

Spinco intends to seek a listing of the Spinco Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the

“CSE”) following the completion of the Arrangement. In connection with the Arrangement and the

listing, Spinco is completing a private placement of a minimum of 5,000,000 units of Spinco (“Spinco

Units”) and maximum of 15,000,000 Spinco Units at a price of $0.10 per Spinco Unit for minimum

aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 and maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000 (the

"Spinco Financing"). Each Unit will be comprised of one Spinco Share and one-half of one share

purchase warrant of Spinco (each whole warrant, a “ Spinco Warrant”). Each Spinco Warrant will

entitle the holder to purchase one Spinco Share at a price of $0.18 for a period of 24 months from the

date of issuance.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions including conditional approval

of the Arrangement by the CSE and approval of the Superior Court of Québec. There is no assurance

that the Arrangement will be completed. An application for the listing of Spin co on CSE has been

filed, however, listing is subject to CSE final acceptance.
