UPDATE ON QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT COMPLETED
NAME CHANGE TO "BLACK MOUNTAIN GOLD USA CORP."
Huffington Capital Corp. (TSX-V: HU.H) (the "Company") on June 10, 2020, announced that it
had entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent effective June 9, 2020 with ML Nevada Corp.
("M3 Metals Nevada"), a wholly owned Nevada incorporated subsidiary of M3 Metals Corp.
("M3 Metals"), a TSX Venture Exchange listed company.
Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, M3 Metals would, through M3 Metals Nevada, grant to
the Company an option (the "Option") under the terms of a mineral property option agreement to
be drafted and executed (the "Definitive Option Agreement") to acquire up to a 90% interest in a
mineral project which is the subject of a mineral property option and purchase agreement (the
"Underlying Agreement") under which M3 Metals has the right and option (the "Underlying
Option") to acquire up to a 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral properties (the
"Mohave Project") in Arizona.
The Company also announced it was engaging in a private placement (the "Private Placement")
for gross proceeds of $800,000 and that three persons (the "New Principals") would join the
Company as directors and officers upon, and conditional upon, closing of the Definitive Option
Agreement and the Private Placement.
The Definitive Option Agreement, Private Placement and appointment of the New Principals are
referred to in this news release, collectively, as the "Transaction".
The Company was originally listed as a CPC. The closing (the "Closing") of the Transaction
will constitute the Company's Qualifying Transaction.
THE DEFINTIVE OPTION AGREEMENT
The Definitive Option Agreement was executed by the Company, M3 Metals, M3 Metals
Nevada and the Company's newly incorporated Nevada subsidiary, Mohave USA Gold Corp.
effective July 4, 2020.
The Definitive Option Agreement reflects the terms and conditions of the Letter of Intent as
described in the Company's June 10, 2020 news release except that under the terms of the option
(the "Option") now:
(i) a CDN$400,000 payment to M3 Metals to be made by Huffington is now to be made on
the fifteen month anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement; and
(ii) the Company will not earn its ninety (90%) percent interest in the Mohave Project not in
two stages (seventy (70%) earn in and then ninety (90%) percent earn in) as originally disclosed
but in one stage at which point it will have earned a ninety (90%) percent interest.
As a result, to exercise the Option as to a ninety (90%) percent right, title and interest in and to
the Mohave Project, the Company (directly or through its Nevada subsidiary) now must:
(a) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada th e sum of CDN$300,000 upon Closing;
(b) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada the sum of CDN$400,000 on the fifteen month anniversary
of the Definitive Option Agreement;
(c) Pay to M3 Metals Nevada the sum of CDN$400,000 on the second anniversary of the
Definitive Option Agreement;
(d) On or before the third anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement pay to M3
Metals or to M3 Metals Nevada (a t M3 Metals' option) CDN$2million which
payment may, at the Company's option, be made up to fifty (50%) percent in common
shares of the Company (the "Shares") base d on those Shares' market price on the date
of their issuance;
(e) On or before the third anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement, make
CDN$1million in aggregate exploration expenditures on the Mohave Project;
(f) On or before the fourth anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement pay to M3
Metals or to M3 Metals Nevada (at M3 Metals' option) CDN$3million which payment
may, at the Company's option, be made up to fifty (50%) percent in Shares based on
those Shares' market price on the date of their issuance; and
(g) On or before the fourth anniversary of the Definitive Option Agreement, make an
additional CDN$2million in exploration e xpenditures (for a total of at least
CDN$3million) on the Mohave Project.
Upon having made the payments and the exploration expenditures in (a)-(g) above and
provided that the Company has fully maintained the Underlying Agreement in good standing
and exercised the Underlying Option, the Company will have exercised the Option as to a
ninety (90%) percent right, title and interest in and to the Mohave Project.
In all other ways, the Definitive Option Agreement contains the same material terms and
conditions as disclosed in the June 10, 2020 news release.
NAME CHANGE TO "BLACK MOUNTAIN GOLD USA CORP."
The Company wishes to announce that, to reflect its business and focus on the Mohave Project
subsequent to closing, it will make application to the Exchange to, concurrently with closing of
the Qualifying Transaction, change its name to "Black Mountain Gold USA Corp.".
CLOSING AND REGULATORY APPROVAL
The Closing of the Transaction is subject to the receipt of regulatory approval from the Exchange
including approval of the Private Placement and the Definitive Option Agreement and review of
the suitability of the New Principals.
The Company must, prior to receipt of regulatory approval, submit a technical report on the
Mohave Project to the Exchange together with a CPC Filing Statement. Both documents will,
once finalized, be filed on the SEDAR system under the Company's issuer profile.
The Company intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements under
Section 3.4 of Exchange Policy 2.2 or a waiver of sponsorship if an exemption from sponsorship
is unavailable. However, there can be no guarantee that a waiver will be granted if no exemption
is available.
The Transaction is an arm's length transaction.
There are a number of conditions on Closing in addition to regulatory approval from the
Exchange including receipt of the written consents of the vendors in the Underlying Agreement
(which have now been received by M3 Metals Corp.) and the Company providing evidence to
the Exchange that it will meet Tier II CLR upon Closing.
No finder's fees, commissions or other similar fees are payable in connection with the closing of
the Transaction or any component of it including the Private Placement.
Upon Closing, the Company would commence trading on Tier II of the Exchange as a mining
issuer.
