Ironwood Capital Corp. Provides Update Respecting Proposed Qualifying Transaction

Vancouver, Sept. 25, 2020 - Ironwood Capital Corp. (TSXV: IRN.P) ("Ironwood" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update respecting its previously announced "Qualifying Transaction", as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), with Origen Resources Inc. ("Origen") (see Ironwood's press release dated May 11, 2020).

Ironwood and Origen have entered into an amending agreement dated September 16, 2020 (the "Amending Agreement"), which amends the sale, assignment and assumption agreement (the "Assumption Agreement") dated May 11, 2020 between the parties respecting the purchase and assumption by Ironwood of all of Origen's right, title and interest in, to and under an option and joint venture agreement with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (the "Transaction"). The Amending Agreement amends the Assumption Agreement by extending the "outside date" for closing the transaction to November 30, 2020.

Ironwood also announces that it has increased the amount to be raised under the private placement financing (the "Private Placement") being conducted in conjunction with the Transaction. Under the Private Placement, Ironwood will now raise a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $600,000 through the issuance of units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.18 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for two years from the date of issuance. The Private Placement is non-brokered, and no finder's fees or finder's warrants will be issued under the Private Placement.

On closing of the Transaction, and assuming that Ironwood raises $500,000 under the Private Placement on the terms described above, the Company will have 6,839,778 common shares issued and outstanding. The current shareholders of Ironwood would hold approximately 52.08% of the shares of the Company, participants in the Private Placement would hold approximately 40.61% of the shares of the Company, and Origen would hold approximately 7.31% of the shares of the Company.

The Transaction is intended to qualify as Ironwood's "Qualifying Transaction" as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Trading of the common shares of Ironwood will remain halted in connection with the dissemination of this press release and will recommence at such time as the Exchange may determine, having regard to the completion of certain requirements pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.4. Further details of the proposed Transaction will follow in future press releases.

Ironwood also provided an update respecting the $250,000 loan that Ironwood made to 1Five2 Tech Solutions Ltd. ("152 Tech") in conjunction with the previously announced, and now terminated, transaction between Ironwood and 1Five2 (see Ironwood's press releases dated December 13, 2019 and May 1, 2020). $225,000 of the loan is secured against all of 152 Tech's assets, and the remaining $25,000 of the loan is unsecured. The loan was repayable on or before July 29, 2020, and as at August 31, 2020 the total balance receivable by Ironwood under the loan is $261,331. 152 Tech has advised Ironwood that it is pursuing a go-public transaction and that the loan will be repaid in conjunction with closing of that transaction. If the loan is not repaid, Ironwood has the right to enforce its security against 152 Tech's assets.
