CONSOLIDATED WESTVIEW INCREASES RTO FINANCING

November 9, 2017 – Vancouver, B.C. – Consolidated Westview Resource Corp. (TSXV: CWS.H) (“Westview” or the “Company”) announces that further to its news releases of August 31 and October 18, 2017 in connection with its proposed reverse take-over transaction (the “RTO”) of Lithoquest Diamonds Inc. (“Lithoquest”), the Company has increased the size of the concurrent private placement financing to 18,977,272 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.27 per Unit for gross proceeds of $5,123,863.44 (the “Concurrent Financing”). Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half (1/2) of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share of Westview at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months after Closing.

The Company has agreed to pay a finder’s fee of 6% cash and 6% finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Fee”) to certain finders in connection with the Concurrent Financing including Medalist Capital Ltd. (“Medalist”). Medalist is an exempt market dealer in various provinces of Canada and an insider of Westview. Each finder’s warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.27 for a period of 24 months after closing.

In addition, certain directors, officers and insiders of the Company including Medalist (collectively the “Insiders”) have agreed to participate in the Concurrent Financing for an aggregate of 960,000 Units for gross proceeds of $259,200.

The portion of the Concurrent Financing with Insiders and the payment of the Finder’s Fee to Medalist constitute “related party transactions” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, and the Company has relied upon exemptions from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation and seek minority shareholder approval for such transactions on the basis that the fair market value of the Concurrent Financing with the Insiders and payment of the Finder’s Fee to Medalist is each less than 25% of the Company’s current market capitalization.

The net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing will be used to fund, among other things, the balance of the costs of the RTO, initial exploration of Lithoquest’s North Kimberley diamond project in Western Australia and the general corporate and working capital expenses of the Company following completion of the RTO (the “Resulting Issuer”).

All securities to be issued in connection with the Concurrent Financing will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day.

The RTO and the Concurrent Financing have been conditionally accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, closing is expected to take place within the next 10 days or so. Final acceptance of the Exchange will be subject to the Resulting Issuer satisfying all of the Exchange’s requirements for re-listing of the Resulting Issuer’s shares on Tier 2 of the Exchange as a mining issuer.

Upon completion of the RTO and Concurrent Financing, it is anticipated that there will be approximately 45,911,963 common shares and 18,349,692 common share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer outstanding.
