POCML 5 Announces Proposed Qualifying Transaction with Exploration Stage Issuer

POCML 5 Announces Proposed Qualifying Transaction with Exploration Stage

Issuer

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2020 --

POCML 5 Inc. (the “Company”) announces that it has entered into a binding agreement dated November 30, 2020 (the “Letter

Agreement”) with an arm’s length, Ontario based mineral exploration company that holds exploration stage assets in South

America (the “Target”) to effect a business combination of the two companies (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed

Transaction will be a reverse takeover of the Company by the Target and its shareholders.

The Company is a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) and intends the Proposed Transaction to constitute its Qualifying

Transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

The Transaction

It is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, share

exchange, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other similar form of transaction as is acceptable to the parties.

On or immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that: (i) the Company will effect a

name change to such name as may be determined by Target; and (ii) the Company will consolidate the issued and

outstanding common shares in the capital of the Company (the “POCML5 Shares”) on the basis of one “new” POCML5 Share

for every four “old” POCML5 Shares issued and outstanding (the “Consolidation”).

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, holders of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Target (the “Target

Shares”) will receive one POCML5 Share (as they exist on a post-Consolidation basis) for each Target Share held (the

“Exchange Ratio”). Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, all existing securities convertible into Target Shares shall be

exchanged, based on the Exchange Ratio, for similar securities to purchase POCML5 Shares on substantially similar terms

and conditions.

There are currently an aggregate of 10,140,000 POCML5 Shares issued and outstanding, as well as 1,000,000 stock options,

each exercisable to acquire one POCML 5 Share at an exercise price of $0.10. In connection with the Proposed Transaction,

all outstanding unexercised stock options of POCML5 shall expire immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed

Transaction.

If the Proposed Transaction is completed, it is anticipated that the board of directors of the Company shall be reconstituted to

consist of such directors as the Target shall determine, subject to the minimum residency requirements of the Business

Corporations Act (Ontario), and all existing officers of the Company shall resign and be replaced with officers appointed by the

new slate of board of directors.

The Proposed Transaction is conditional upon the completion of a financing.

A comprehensive news release regarding the Proposed Transaction will be issued when additional details are settled in

accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

Arm’s Length Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is an arm’s length transaction in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and is not subject to

the approval of the shareholders of the Company, except as required by applicable corporate law.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a CPC is required by the Exchange, unless exempt in accordance with Exchange

policies or waived by the Exchange. The Proposed Transaction may require sponsorship and the Company plans to provide a

news release update should a sponsor be retained. Trading in the POCML5 Shares has been halted as a result of the

announcement of the Proposed Transaction. POCML5 expects that trading in the POCML5 Shares will remain halted pending

closing of the Proposed Transaction, subject to the earlier re-commencement of trading only upon Exchange approval and the

filing of required materials with the Exchange as contemplated by Exchange policies.

Filing Statement

In connection with the Proposed Transaction and pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange, the Company will file a filing

statement on its issuer profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), which will contain details regarding the Proposed Transaction,

any financing completed prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company, the Target and the resulting issuer

company following completion of the Proposed Transaction.

The obligations of the Company and the Target pursuant to the Letter Agreement shall terminate in certain specified

circumstances, including in the event that a definitive business combination agreement with respect to the Proposed

Transaction is not entered into among the parties by February 26, 2021.

About the Company

The Company is a CPC within the meaning of the policies of the Exchange that has not commenced commercial operations

and has no assets other than cash. Except as specifically contemplated in the CPC policies of the Exchange, until the

completion of its Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on business, other than the identification and evaluation of
