MARCHING MOOSE CAPITAL CORP. RECEIVES CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITH AVIDIAN GOLD INC. AND FILES FILING STATEMENT

Marching Moose Capital Corp. has received the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to close its previously announced acquisition of Avidian Gold Inc. by way of a three-cornered amalgamation between Matching Moose, Avidian and MCCC Amalco Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Matching Moose. The transaction was announced in news releases dated Oct. 26, 2016, April 18, 2017, and June 19, 2017. The transaction will constitute Matching Moose's qualifying transaction as set forth in Policy 2.4 of the exchange.

In connection with the transaction, the company has filed its filing statement dated Nov. 17, 2017, and the amalgamation agreement dated March 13, 2017, and amended on April 13, June 23, Aug. 24 and Nov. 17, 2017, on SEDAR. Investors are encouraged to review the filing statement, which provides detailed information about the qualifying transaction, Matching Moose, Avidian and the resulting issuer upon the completion of the transaction, on SEDAR. Matching Moose anticipates closing the transaction on or about Nov. 29, 2017.

Financing update

By way of an update the company is pleased to announce that Avidian completed a non-brokered financing of 14,897,500 units of Avidian, at the price of 20 cents per unit for the gross proceeds of $2,979,500. Each unit will comprise one common share of Avidian and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at 35 cents per share for a period of 24 months after closing of the financing. The expiry date of the warrants may be accelerated at any time following the four-month anniversary of the date on which the common shares of Avidian are listed for trading on a Canadian securities exchange, or where the transaction or any similar transaction has been completed, at any time following the four-month anniversary of the date the common shares of the resulting issuer of such transaction begins trading on a Canadian securities exchange, and prior to the expiry date but only where the volume-weighted average price of the common shares is greater than 46 cents (or such other price that is equivalent to 46 cents multiplied by a conversion ratio applicable to the common shares in connection with a transaction pursuant to which the common shares of Avidian or common shares of an applicable resulting issuer become listed on a Canadian securities exchange) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, at which time Avidian or the applicable resulting issuer may accelerate the expiry date by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the warrants will expire on the 20th calendar day after the date of such press release. The financing was completed in seven tranches with the final tranche closing on Aug. 21, 2017.

Trading symbol and trading tier

The company has reserved the trading symbol AVG which shall be the resulting issuer's trading symbol, rather than AVI as previously disclosed. The company will now resume trading on the exchange as a Tier 2 mining issuer rather than a Tier 1 mining issuer as previously disclosed.

There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
