Valorem Provides Update ON Expiration of Halt Trade Order and Update ON BC Projects
VALOREM PROVIDES UPDATE ON EXPIRATION OF HALT TRADE ORDER AND UPDATE ON BC PROJECTS
Vancouver, British Columbia - (May 26, 2021) – VALOREM RESOURCES INC. (the “Company” or
“Valorem”) (CSE: VALU) (Frankfurt: 1XW1) confirms that the halt trade order previously issued by the
British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) on April 30, 2021 expired at the close of business on
May 21, 2021. The Company confirms that it will continue to work with the BCSC to assist in its efforts
to review the unauthorized third-party claims about the Company’s assets.
At the request of the BCSC and the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), the Company is providing
additional details on its recently acquired property located in the Cariboo District, British Columbia (the
“BC Property”).
As previously announced on January 29, 2021, Valorem acquired the BC Property by way of a three-
cornered amalgamation, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital
of 1267818 B.C. Ltd., the owner of the BC Property. As consideration for the BC Property, the Company
issued a total of 30,000,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to 11 (and not 5 as previously
announced) arm's-length shareholders of 1267818 B.C. Ltd. at an attributed value of $0.155 per
consideration share, or an aggregate attributed purchase price value of $4,650,000. The Company
confirms that it has filed a revised Form 9 – Notice of Proposed Issuance of Securities with the CSE in
connection with the acquisition, to clarify the recipients of the Consideration Shares. A copy of the
revised filing is available under the profile for the Company on the CSE website at (www.thecse.com).
The consideration for the BC Property was negotiated by arm's-length parties and took into
consideration various factors including, without limitation, the historical acquisition prices of the BC
Property, the prevailing market price of gold per ounce, the trend of gold commodity prices and gold-
based assets, and the form of consideration in lieu of cash. The Company did not take into consideration
any work done on the BC Property by previous owners in negotiating the purchase price. As disclosed
by 1267818 B.C. Ltd. to the Company during the due diligence process, 1267818 B.C. Ltd. had previously
acquired the BC Property from MegumaGold Corp. in return for a debt foregiveness of $100,000 owing
by MegumaGold Corp. to 1267818 B.C. Ltd.
The BC Property comprises of multiple tenure blocks totaling 4,000 ha and is comprised of three claim
groups, the East, Central and West (See Figure 1), extending for approximately 9-15 kms southwest of
the Osisko Development Cariboo Gold Project. As shown on Figure 2, the Central claims group is located
in the red rectangle to the southwest of the town of Barkerville. The Central claims group shares
boundaries with the mineral claims of Osisko Development’s Barkerville area holdings in the heart of the
Barkerville Gold District. Osisko's Barkerville property was acquired by Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd.
(“Osisko”) in 2019 and restructured as Osisko Development.
The location of the Central group of claims, making up a part of the BC Property, in addition to its
location relative to the Osisko property, has hosted historical gold production and offers potential
exploration targets. The Central group of claims is located near the Mostique Creek and Lightening
Creek placer areas (see B.C. Minfile No. 093G009 and No. 093G060, respectively). In addition, it covers
the Gem gold showing, a turbidite-hosted gold target (see B.C. Minfile No. 093G073).
