Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("

Phase 2 includes the renovation and reopening of two main mine tunnels to gain access to the old

mine workings for further sampling, underground geophysics and drilling. Phase 2 also recommends

a drill program of 2,000 metres.

Transaction and Private Placement Update

As previously announced on

November 7, 2019

,

Richmond

can complete the purchase of the Mine

by issuing forty million common shares of the Company to Silbermine Zeiring GmbH ("

Silbermine

")

as payment for the sale and transfer of the mining claims to a wholly owned subsidiary of

Richmond

on closing of the Transaction.

The definitive agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the Transaction contemplates the

grant to Silbermine of a right to nominate or appoint two qualified directors to

Richmond's

Board of

Directors as a condition of closing of the Transaction. Silbermine has agreed to waive this board

right and the parties have agreed that on completion of the Transaction the board of the Company

will remain as currently constituted.

In connection with the Transaction,

Richmond

is conducting a non-brokered private placement (the

"

Offering

") pursuant to which it shall issue up to 8,000,000 units (each, a "

Unit

") of the Company at

a price of

C$0.05

per Unit to raise aggregate proceeds of up to

C$400,000

(the "

Offering

"). Each

Unit consists of one common share (each, a "

Common Share

") and one common share purchase

warrant (each, a "

Warrant

"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common

Share at a price of

$0.10

until

5 pm

(

Toronto

time) on the date which is 18 months following the

closing of the Offering, whereupon the Warrants expire.

The Offering is ongoing and is anticipated to close on or about

January 21, 2020

. The net proceeds

from the Offering will be used to fund the Phase 1 work program on the Mine and for costs related

to completion of the proposed Transaction.

Closing of the Transaction, which is a fundamental acquisition, remains subject to final approval of

the TSXV and certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. Closing of the

Transaction is anticipated to occur on or about

January 24, 2020

.
