Guardian Enters into Term Loan Agreements with Affiliated Corporations
For Immediate Release
Calgary, Alberta – May 29, 2025, Guardian Exploration Inc. (TSXV: GX) (OTCQB: GXUSF) (Frankfurt: R6B)
(the “ Corporation” or “ Guardian”) announces that it has entered into term loan agreements with
Deckland Inc. (“ Deckland”) and Guardian Helicopters Inc. (“ GHI” and together with Deckland, the
“Lenders”).
As previously announced by the Corporation on November 10, 2022, the Corporation and the Lenders are
currently parties to a loan agreement with respect to a revolving loan to be used by the Corporation to
fund working capital requirements (the “ Revolving Loan Agreement ”). The Corporation has rolled
$442,097 of the amount previously loaned by Deckland under the Revolving Loan Agreement into a term
loan having a principal amount of $442,097 and $745,605 of the amount previously loaned by GHI under
the Revolving Loan Agreement into a separate term loan having a principal amount of $745,605
(collectively the “Term Loans”).
Term Loans mature three years after issuance (subject to amendment by mutual agreement of the parties)
(the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest of 15% per annum payable on the Maturity Date. Indebtedness
under the Term Loan Agreements is secured on the mineral assets of the Corporation and by a general
security agreement on the personal property of the Corporation.
In connection with the Term Loans, the Corporation has issued 7,368,283 non-transferrable warrants to
Deckland and 12,426,750 warrants to GHI. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share of the
Corporation until the earlier of three years or the Maturity Date, at an exercise price of $0.06 per share.
The common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be subject to a hold period of four months
and one day commencing the date the warrants are issued.
The Lenders are both Alberta-based private corporations that are wholly-owned by Graydon Kowal, the
President, CEO and a director of the Corporation. The Term Loans are considered "Related Party
Transactions" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Corporation relied upon the exemptions from the minority shareholder
approval and valuation requirements set out in Sections 5.7(1)(a) and 5.5(a), respectively, of MI 61-101.
The Term Loan Agreements were approved by the unanimous resolution of the disinterested directors of
the Corporation. Graydon Kowal abstained from voting in respect of the resolution. The Corporation has
today filed a material change report in accordance with MI 61-101 in connection with the completion of
the Transaction.
