RED ROCK ANNOUNCES AMENDED PROPERTY OPTION AGREEMENT

Further to Red Rock Capital Corp.'s news release dated March 24, 2022, and Nov. 28, 2022, the company has entered into an amended property option agreement, dated May 19, 2023, with Jadeite Capital Corp. (the vendor).

The amended option agreement amends the existing property option agreement, dated Nov. 23, 2022, with the vendor, pursuant to which the company has been granted an option to acquire a series of mineral claims located in the province of Quebec and commonly known by the names Gosselin and Normetal South (collectively, the project).

Amendment summary

Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, as amended by the amended option agreement, the company has been granted the option to acquire the project from the vendor. In order to exercise the option, the company is required to complete a series of cash payments totalling $300,000 and issue a total of 7.75 million units to the vendor in accordance with a schedule as seen in the company's original news release.

Each consideration unit consists of one common share of the company and one share purchase warrant, each of which will entitle the vendor to acquire an additional share at a price of 20 cents for a period of five years. All consideration units issued to the vendor will be subject to statutory restrictions on resale prescribed by applicable securities laws and may be subject to escrow in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

During the term of the option, the company shall have full right, power and authority to do everything necessary or desirable to determine the manner of exploration and development of the project.

Pursuant to the amended option agreement, the company is not required to issue any shares comprising such consideration units to the vendor should the issuance result in the vendor holding more than 9.99 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis. The non-issuance of shares shall not constitute an event of automatic termination under the option agreement, however, such shares shall be deemed to be owing as of the prescribed date in the option agreement. The company may satisfy the issuance of shares comprising such consideration units on an ongoing basis provided that in the event shares comprising such consideration units are owing on the date which is 36 months from closing, the company may, in its sole discretion, settle the shares comprising such consideration units that are owing in cash.

The cash value of any shares comprising such consideration units settled in cash shall equal the value of the number of shares comprising such consideration units based on the five-day volume-weight average price of the shares on the TSX-V ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the date which is 36 months from closing.

Pursuant to the amended option agreement, the vendor is not permitted to, without the prior approval of the company, to exercise, or convert, any portion of the warrants comprising the consideration units held by the vendor into shares, which would result in the vendor, any parties with which it is acting jointly or in concert, becoming an insider of the company, as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V.

Transaction update

In connection with the grant of the option pursuant to the option agreement, as amended by the amended option agreement, it is anticipated that the company will be listed as a Tier 2 mining issuer on the TSX-V and will be involved in the exploration and development of the project. The transaction is intended to constitute the company's qualifying transaction pursuant to Policy 2.4 -- Capital Pool Companies of the TSX-V. In connection with the transaction, it is anticipated that the company will change its name to Auric Resources Corp. The company is currently advancing the transaction with the TSX-V.

Project

Located in the northwestern Abitibi region of Quebec, the project is based in the Normetal Polymetallic mining camp currently controlled by AMEX Exploration Inc., Starr Peak Mining Ltd. and Generic Gold Corp. The towns of Normetal (five kilometres north) and LaSarre (25 km southeast) are the closest communities with infrastructure. Since 1952, some 24 assessment reports of exploration work done (in example, grab samples and 66 historic diamond drill holes) within the limits of the Normetal South property were filed with the Quebec Ministry of Mines.

More recently, Geotech Ltd. (of Aurora, Ont.) carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey (between Aug. 12 and Oct. 28, 2021) using the VTEM plus and horizontal magnetic gradiometer systems at a total cost of $116,727.66. The VTEM data shows three major anomalies with a source in bedrock where historic diamond drilling yielded narrow to moderate drill core lengths containing semi-massive sulphides (mostly pyrrhotite-pyrite) linked to graphitic sediments, volcanic tuffaceous units and porphyries.
