Vancouver, BC – March 3, 2021 – Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SIR) (“Serengeti”) and Sun Metals Corp.
(TSX-V: SUNM) (“Sun Metals”) are pleased to announce that Sun Metals has obtained the final order from
the Supreme Court of British Columbia with respect to the previously announced proposed plan of
arrangement, pursuant to which Serengeti will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sun

Metals share, which is 0.43 of a pre -Consolidation Serengeti share for each Sun Metals share on a pre -
Consolidation basis (the “Transaction”).
The Transaction was approved by Serengeti shareholders and Sun Metals securityholders at their
respective meetings on February 26, 2021 and subject to receipt of all requisite approvals, including final
TSX Venture Exchange approval, and waiver or satisfaction of all relevant conditions, closing of the
Transaction is expected to be on or about March 5, 2021.

closing of the Transaction. The common shares of Serengeti are expected to trade at the open of the
market on March 5, 2021 on a post -Consolidation and post -name change basis with the ticker symbol
“NWST”.
In additio n to approving the Transaction, a t the February 26, 2021 meeting Serengeti shareholders
approved resolutions to consolidate its common shares on a two for one basis (the “Consolidation”). The
Consolidation is anticipated to be completed immediately prior to closing of the Transaction. Following
