VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 1, 2020 / Omni Commerce Corp. ("Omni" or the "Company") announces that, further to the Company's news release dated April 27, 2020, it has entered into a mineral property purchase and sale agreement dated May 29, 2020 (the "Agreement") with CBLT Inc. (TSXV:CBLT) ("CBLT"). Omni has agreed to acquire CBLT's right, title and interest in and to its 56% joint venture interest (the "JV") in the Northshore Gold Property (the "Property"), located in the Schreiber-Hemlo Greenstone Belt, 115 km west of Hemlo and 200 km east of Thunder Bay, on the terms in the Agreement (the "Transaction"). Omni will assume the role of operator of the JV on completion of the Transaction (the "Closing"). The remaining 44% of the JV is owned by Balmoral Resources Ltd., which company was recently acquired by Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSXV: WM).
Omni is also pleased to announce its engagement of Mine Management Partners Limited ("MMP") to act as a technical advisor to the Company by providing assistance on the evaluation and due diligence of potential property acquisitions and other geological services. Mr. Jason Jessup, the founder and president of MMP, has 23 years of experience in the mining industry, the majority committed to mining operations management, corporate development and project evaluation.
Terms of the Agreement
The terms of the Agreement are consistent with the terms of the letter of intent which were announced on April 27, 2020. The total consideration payable by the Company in respect of the Transaction is $1,450,000 (the "Purchase Price"), consisting of: (i) cash consideration of $350,000 (the "Cash Consideration"), of which $50,000 has already been paid by way of non-refundable cash deposits, and of which $300,000 is payable by the Company on Closing; and (ii) stock consideration of $1,100,000 payable by the issuance of post-Consolidation (as defined below) common shares in the capital of the Company on Closing (the "Consideration Shares"). Prior to the Closing, the Company will undertake a five-for-one consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Consolidation"). The Company will also complete a private placement financing of subscription receipts, on a post-Consolidation basis, at a price of $0.60 per subscription receipt, each consisting of one share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company, for gross total proceeds of not less than $1.5 million (the "Financing"). The Consideration Shares to be issued on Closing on a post-Consolidation basis will be issued at a deemed price per share equal to the price of subscription receipts sold in the Financing. All of the Consideration Shares will be subject to the terms of a voluntary escrow agreement, to be entered by the parties prior to Closing, which terms include the release of 25% of the Consideration Shares from escrow on each of the days which is four, six, eight and 12 months after the Closing. This voluntary escrow will be in addition to any escrow required by the policies of any applicable stock exchange and any hold restrictions under applicable securities laws. In addition, if CBLT, or any of its affiliates, stakes or otherwise acquires any rights (the "Additional Rights") to minerals located wholly or partially within or contiguous to the area located within two (2) kilometers from any portion of the exterior boundaries of the Property, as such exterior boundaries exist on the Closing (the "Area of Interest"), CBLT must provide notice to the Company of such acquisition and the details thereof, and the Company will have the election, to be exercised within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice of such Additional Rights, whether to include the Additional Rights in the Property (whether such rights are contained wholly within the Area of Interest or only partially within the Area of Interest).
In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into finder's fee agreement dated March 2, 2020, as amended, with an arm's length finder, Bello Capital Partners, for the payment of a finder's fee equal to 3% of the value of the Consideration Shares, being $33,000, payable by the issuance of 55,000 post-Consolidation common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Omni Finder's Shares"), subject to the policies and the approval of any applicable stock exchange. When issued, the Omni Finder's Shares will be subject to a restricted period of four months and one day.
Also in connection with the closing of the Transaction, CBLT entered into a finder's fee agreement dated May 12, 2020 with two arm's length finders, Calico Management Corporation and Kim W. Measor (the "CBLT Finders") for the payment of finder's fees to be paid at Closing by CBLT which include: (i) cash fees payable to each of the CBLT Finders by CBLT in the amount of 2.5% of the value of the Cash Consideration, and (ii) the transfer from CBLT to each of the CBLT Finders of 2.5% of the Consideration Shares (the "CBLT Finder's Shares"), subject to the policies and the approval of any applicable stock exchange. When issued, the CBLT Finder's Shares will be subject to a restricted period of four months and one day and the voluntary escrow referred to above.
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, Omni completing the Financing, Omni completing the Consolidation, Omni obtaining a technical report on the Property that is in compliance with National Instrument 43-101, Omni submitting an application to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), CBLT documenting sufficient and timely expenditures on the Property to meet the listing requirements of the CSE, Omni being satisfied that CBLT has completed the necessary consultation with any applicable indigenous peoples with respect to any matters pertaining to the Property, CBLT being in good standing in respect of its joint venture interest in the Property, receipt of all requisite approvals, and other conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The Agreement provides that the Closing shall be completed by August 31, 2020, or such earlier date as may be agreed to by the parties.
John Veltheer, Omni Commerce Corp. CEO and Director commented, "We look forward to getting OMNI publicly listed again. A property like Northshore which has an impressive 43-101 compliant resource and considerable exploration potential, puts OMNI and it's shareholders into a great position as the gold market continues gaining traction."
