NEWS RELEASE
Gold Lion Acquires Strategic Cobalt-Nickel-Copper Mineral Property
Vancouver, British Columbia / June 7, 2022 – Gold Lion Resources Inc. (“Gold Lion ” or the
“Company”) (CSE: GL) (OTC: GLIOF) (FWB: 2BC) announces that it has signed and closed a
share purchase agreement dated June 6, 2022 (the “ SPA”) with 1000173975 Ontario Inc.
(“OntarioCo”) in respect of the Company’s previously announced transaction (the “Transaction”),
whereby the Company has acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of OntarioCo. OntarioCo’s
principal asset and undertaking is its interest in the Black Lake Mineral Property, which is located in
northern Saskatchewan (the “Property”).
The Property presents a significant opportunity for Gold Lion with respect to battery metals, including
Cobalt, Nickel, Copper as well as Gold. The nearby KoBold Metals' Faith in Gravity site is being
targeted due to its supply of Cobalt. KoBold’s backers include venture capital firm Andreessen
Horowitz and Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
Cobalt is a popular choice for batteries because the metal increases battery life and energy density,
which increases electric vehicle (EV) range, by keeping the battery composition stable as the battery
is continuously charged and discharged. Nickel has been widel y used in batteries for decades going
back to Nickel-Cadmium and later Nickel Metal Hydride cells. Most high-performance EV batteries
use Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) with N ickel comprising 80% of the mix. Tesla mainly uses
Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum with the same 80% Nickel.
Pursuant to the SPA , the Company has issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 common s hares (the
“Consideration Shares”) to the shareholders of OntarioCo at a deemed price per Consideration Share
of $0.05, representing aggregate consideration of $1,000,000. The aggregate consideration paid under
the Transaction was based on a valuation of OntarioCo dated June 6, 2022, which was prepared by an
independent business valuator.
The Transaction was completed pursuant to available prospectus exemptions in accordance with
applicable securities legislation. The Consideration Shares are subject to a hold period of four months
and a day from issuance pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Transacti on was an arms -length
transaction for the Company and did not constitute a fundamental change or result in a change of
control of the Company, within the meaning of the policies of the CSE.
Guy Bourgeois, Gold Lion’s CEO commented, “We are excited to acquire th is strategic North
American property, our shareholders will benefit from exposure to key battery metals in addition to
our Gold assets. Cobalt, Nickel and Copper are in high demand due to EV and renewable market
growth. This strategic acquisition, combined with our other Polymetallic and Gold projects, creates a
2
valuable portfolio of North American Gold and battery metals assets located in close proximity to
current projects and past-producing mines with low political, social and environmental risk.”
