Minfocus Exploration Corp. Announces Proposed 7-for-1 Share Consolidation

Toronto, July 20, 2018 - Minfocus Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: MFX) (“Minfocus” or “Company”) announces the Board of Directors has approved a proposed consolidation of the outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of seven (7) pre-consolidation shares for one (1) post-consolidation share.

The Company currently has 76,915,424 common shares outstanding and post-consolidation there will be 10,987,918 common shares outstanding, subject to rounding. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the share consolidation. Any fractional shares resulting from the shares consolidation will converted to whole shares. The Company’s outstanding incentive stock options and warrants will be adjusted on the same basis (1:7) to reflect the consolidation in accordance with their respective terms with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices.

After completion of the share consolidation, the Company will give written notice thereof to all registered shareholders and will provide them with a form of letter of transmittal to be used for the purpose of surrendering their certificates representing the currently outstanding common shares to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent in exchange for new share certificates representing whole post-consolidation common shares. After consolidation, the current issued share certificates representing pre-consolidation common shares will constitute good delivery for the purposes of trades of post-consolidation common shares and be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-consolidation common shares to which the shareholder is entitled as a result of the consolidation. No delivery of a new share certificate to a shareholder will be made until the shareholder has surrendered its current issued share certificates. The post-consolidation common shares of the Company will have a new CUSIP and ISIN number.

The proposed share consolidation is subject to TSXV approval. Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the consolidation. The consolidation is being undertaken due the Company’s share trading below the minimum price at which shares from treasury may be issued under TSXV policy. There will be no change to the name or trading symbol of the Company as a result of the proposed consolidation.
