Financings

NBS CAPITAL INC. COMPLETES SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT FINANCING FOR

AGGREGATE PROCEEDS OF $5 MILLION

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWS WIRES

OTTAWA, February 18, 2021 - NBS Capital Inc. (“NBS” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NBS.P) announces

further to its press release of January 4, 2021, that in connection with its proposed scheme of arrangement

(the “Arrangement”) with Electric Metals (USA) Limited (“EML”), EML and NBS have completed the

non-brokered private placements (the “Financing”) of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”)

in multiple tranches for aggregate gross proceeds of Cdn$5,049,635.13, at a price of Cdn$0.33 per

Subscription Receipt. Pursuant to the fully subscribed Financing, EML issued a total of 13,308,407

Subscription Receipts for proceeds of Cdn$4,391,774.85, and NBS issued a total of 1,993,516 Subscription

Receipts for proceeds of Cdn$657,860.28.

The additional proceeds raised in connection with the Financing by EML (net of certain professional and

financing fees), together with proceeds previously raised as announced on January 4, 2021, have been (such

funds together, the “ Escrowed Funds ”) delivered to and are being held in escrow on behalf of the

subscribers by TSX Trust Company (the “ Escrow Agent”) and invested in an interest -bearing account

pending the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of certain es crow release

conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”) as set out in the Company’s January 4, 2021 press release

on or before the 120th day after the closing of the Financing (the “Termination Date”), in accordance with

the provisions of subscription agreement s entered into with the subscribers in the Financing and

subscription receipt agreements entered into with the Escrow Agent.

Each Subscription Receipt shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the satisfaction or waiver (to the

extent such waiver is permitted) of the Escrow Release Conditions on or before the Termination Date ,

without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof,

one ordinary share in the capital of EML (each, an “Underlying Share”) and one-half of one ordinary share

purchase warrant of EML (each whole such warrant, an “Underlying Warrant”). Each whole Underlying

Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one share of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) at an exercise

price of $0.60 per share for a period of two years from the closing of the Arrangement (the “Warrant

Expiry Date ”). The Warrant Expiry Date may be accelerated upon notice to the Underlying Warrant

holders should the closing price of the shares of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) on the TSX Venture

Exchange (the “TSXV”) be greater than $1.00 for twenty consecutive trading days.

If the Arrangement is completed, each Underlying Share will then be exchanged for one common share of

NBS (the “Resulting Issuer” after completion of the proposed Arrangement) and each Underlying Warrant

will, upon exercise in accordance with its terms, entitle the holder thereof to one common share (on a post-

Consolidation basis) of the Resulting Issuer. In the event the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, and

the Proposed Transaction is completed, the Escrowed Funds will be released to the Resulting Issuer. The

Resulting Issuer intends to use the Escrowed Funds to fund the exploration of EML’s Corcoran Cany on

Silver Project, pay for expenses of the Financing and the Arrangement, and for general working capital

purposes. NBS will consolidate its outstanding common shares on the basis of 0.73271 new common shares

for each currently issued common shares. All securities issued in connection with the Arrangement

(including those issued in exchange for each Underlying Share and upon exercise of each Underlying

Warrant) will be issued on a post-consolidated basis.

In the event that: (i) the Escrow Agent does not receive the Release Notice at or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Toronto

time) on the Termination Date, or (ii) if prior to the Termination Date, the Company advises the subscribers

or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription

Receipts will be null and void and of no further effect, and the Escrow Agent will return to each holder of

Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price of the Subscription Receipts held

by such holder plus a pro rata portion of any interest and other income earned on the Escrowed Funds, less

applicable withholding ta xes, if any. EML will be responsible and liable to the holders of Subscription

Receipts for any shortfall between the aggregate Subscription Price and the Escrowed Funds.

Any securities issued by the Resulting Issuer in connection with the Financing will be in addition to the

Resulting Issuer common shares that will be distributed to the current EML ordinary shareholders in

connection with the Arrangement. Investors in the Financing will hold approximately 23.44% of the issued

and outstanding Resulting Iss uer common shares following completion of the Arrangement, on a non -

diluted basis.

Amendment to Implementation Agreement

NBS also wishes to advise that the implementation agreement with EML in connection with the

Arrangement dated December 31, 2020 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) has been amended (“Amending

Agreement”) effective February 15, 2021 to provide that the “Reimburs ement Fee” (as defined in the

Arrangement Agreement) will be the lesser of (i) $C100,000 and (ii) 1% of the equity value of EML. Copy
