Tilting Capital Announces Update on Proposed Reverse Takeover Transaction and Signing of Definitive Agreement With Gold Line Resources Ltd.

VANCOUVER, Aug. 10, 2020 - Tilting Capital Corp. ("TLL" or the "Corporation") (NEX: TLL.H) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated May 26, 2020 (the "Initial NR"), it has entered into a definitive amalgamation agreement, effective August 10, 2020 (the "Definitive Agreement") with Gold Line Resources Ltd. ("GLR") and 1257120 B.C. Ltd. ("Tilting Subco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of GLR. The Definitive Agreement replaces the letter of intent between the Company and GLR with respect to the Transaction, which was announced in the Company's Initial NR.


Background on Gold Line Resources Ltd. and the Långtjärn Property

GLR is a private Canadian company focused on acquiring gold projects with exceptional exploration potential in the most prolific gold-producing regions of Sweden. GLR is working in one of the world's top mining jurisdictions and emerging exploration frontiers due to its strong mineral endowment, stable tenure, straightforward permitting, favorable tax regime and supportive geopolitical landscape.

GLR currently holds a prospective portfolio of five gold exploration projects in Sweden with one project in the Skellefteå Belt of North Central Sweden and four projects located within the Gold Line Mineral Belt of North Central Sweden. The projects are located on a 200 kilometer [km] Proterozoic greenstone-sedimentary belt that is host to multiple gold showings and deposits. GLR acquired the properties in April 2019 from Eurasian Minerals Sweden AB ("EMSAB") and Viad Royalties AB, both wholly-owned Swedish subsidiaries of EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX"). GLR currently anticipates conducting exploration work on the Långtjärn Property.

The Långtjärn Property comprises two contiguous granted exploration permits (Storjuktan nr 101 and Storjuktan nr 105) located in the Sorsele Municipality of Västerbotten County in the Kingdom of Sweden (Sweden) in the traditional province of Lapland approximately 830km north of the Swedish capital city of Stockholm. The combined total area of the property is 5,147.5ha.

The Skellefte District and adjacent areas in northern Sweden is one of the most prominent gold and base-metal districts in the Fennoscandian Shield with c. 150 known precious and base-metal prospects and deposits. The Långtjärn property is located in the north-western part of the Skellefteå district lying at the northern extent of a north-northwest (NNW) trending corridor dubbed the "Gold Line" that is host to at least 14 gold prospects ranging from early-stage exploration occurrences to closed historic mines. Two mines within the Gold Line have been in production; Blaiken (closed in 2007) and Svartliden (closed in 2015) with the Fäboliden and Barsele gold deposits currently at an advanced exploration to pre-production stage.

Since acquiring the Långtjärn property in 2017, GLR and in-country partner EMSAB have completed a partial ground magnetic survey, rock-grab sampling, C-horizon soil sampling, BLEG sampling, Ionic Leach™ sampling and assaying of historic Swedish Geological Survey (SGU) boulder samples. The high resolution ground magnetic data identified a strong magnetic anomaly not easily explained by lithology which has been interpreted as a prominent shear zone that may be spatially related to the alteration and mineralisation found at Långtjärn South and continues south of the historic resource area for several kilometres. The survey resolution was also of a high enough quality to differentiate between different granitoid intrusions, which will aid in future targeting.

As the main area of known mineralisation has been relatively well tested with historic drilling (Långtjärn South) down to 120m depth, the most significant upside potential for the property to host significant gold mineralisation is along strike or at depth. The property hosts ~7km of prospective strike length of which only a fraction has been drill tested previously and potential exists for similar gold mineralisation to that which has already been delineated, to exist elsewhere within the Långtjärn property. Exploring for extensions to the existing zones and new zones should be a priority of any future work on the property.

The Långtjärn property is a typical Swedish, under-explored, greenfields gold property that displays good potential for additional gold and possible base metal mineralisation. It is anticipated that the next phase of exploration at the Långtjärn property should include the following: (1) expanding the magnetic survey (utilizing drone technology) north to cover the Långtjärn and Dobblonbäcken prospects; (2) completion of a modern induced polarization (IP) survey over the known areas of gold mineralization; (3) re-logging and check sampling the historic drillcore; (4) completion of petrographical analysis on a selection of representative samples from across the property to aid in geological interpretation and model development; (5) completion of additional Ionic Leach™ sampling over the Dobblonbäcken prospect and to infill the area across prospects in the south of the property; (6) completion of detailed geological and structural mapping in the Dobblonbäcken area where the gold mineralisation is known to outcrop; and drill testing the open positions at Långtjärn South and Dobblonbäcken. Should the next phase of exploration at Långtjärn produce encouraging results, a second round of diamond drilling and regional bottom-till (BOT) drilling should be implemented in addition to a second geophysics survey and more Ionic Leach™ sampling. The proposed budget for the next phase of exploration at Långtjärn is $864,650.

Private Placement Financing

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, TLL is expected to complete a private placement of approximately of 24,000,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds to TLL of approximately $6,000,000 (the "Financing"). The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to subscription agreements entered into by the Company and each of the subscribers. Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, immediately prior to completion of the Transaction upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Transaction other than the Transaction having been completed and made effective and the Subscription Receipt proceeds having been released (collectively, the "Conditions") on or before December 31, 2020 (the "Deadline"), into one unit of the Company. Each unit will be comprised of one TLL Share and non-transferable common share warrant to purchase, for a period of 24 months from the date of issue, one additional TLL Share at an exercise price of $0.40 per TLL Share, subject to acceleration. If the Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the Deadline, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the aggregate subscription price paid by each of the subscribers will be returned to each of the subscribers. The Financing is expected to close on or before the Deadline, subject to, among other things, TSXV approval.

In connection with the Financing, the Company may pay a cash commission or finder's fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Financing to certain parties designated by the Company, and may also issue to such parties non-transferable warrants to purchase such number of TLL Shares as are equal to 6% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Financing. It is intended that the net proceeds from the Financing will be used to fund operations of the Resulting Issuer and for general working capital purposes.
