arrangement agreement (the “ Arrangement Agreement ”) both dated September 22, 2020, pursuant to
which KCI has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Quantus (the
“Qualifying Transaction ”). Quantus is a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the
province of British Columbia that owns a mineral e xploration property near the Lucerne Valley in San
Bernardino County, California. Quantus holds an op tion to earn a 100% interest, subject to certain
royalties, in the Blackhawk Property, a natural res ource exploration and development project targeting

KCI is a “Capital Pool Company” as defi ned by TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool
Companies (“Policy 2.4 ”), and the Qualifying Transaction is intended to constitute KCI’s “Qualifying

referred to in this news release as the “Resulting Issuer”. Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction,
the parties anticipate that the resulting issuer will be listed as a Tier 2 Resource Issuer on the Exchange.
The Qualifying Transaction is arm’s length and is therefore not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying
Transaction under the CPC Policy. Accordingly, the CPC Policy does not require KCI to obtain
shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction.
Details of the Arrangement
The Qualifying Transaction will be effected by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the
Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, each
shareholder of Quantus will receive one (1) common shar e in the capital of KCI in exchange for one (1)
Quantus common share. Assuming completion, none of the options of share purchase warrants of
Quantus being exercised prior to closing of the Qu alifying Transaction, KCI will issue a total of up to
53,402,273 KCI shares to the shareholders of Quan tus. Following the completion of the Qualifying
Transaction, the resulting issuer will have 59,402, 274 issued and outstanding shares. Prior to the
execution of the plan of arrangement KCI shall undergo a subdivision of its share capital on the basis of
1.2 new common shares for each old common share held.
The completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions being met
including but not limited to: (i) the filing of the draft completed TSX Venture Form 3B2 (Information
Required in a Filing Statement for a Qualifying Tran saction; (ii) public filing of the NI 43-101F1 Report
on the Blackhawk Property; (iii) public filing of th e Fairness Opinion; (iv) conditional approval of the
TSX Venture in respect of the Arrangement Agreem ent; (v) the completion of a non-brokered private
placement by Quantus (the “Concurrent Financing”).
Concurrent with the Qualifying Transaction, Quantus is proposing to complete the Concurrent Financing
of up to 14,000,000 Quantus common shares for aggreg ate gross proceeds of up to $2,800,000. Assuming
the Concurrent Financing is completed, subscriber s to the Concurrent Financing will hold, as a group,
approximately 23.6% of the Resulting Issuer’s common shares.
The Arrangement Agreement is subject to final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and is
conditional upon the Resulting Issuer receiving approval for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.
