E36 Capital Announces Upsizing of Concurrent Financing to $3,220,000 and Provides Update with Respect to its Transaction with Kalo Gold Corp.

Kalo Gold Corp. Commences Drill Program at Vatu Aurum Gold Project

Vancouver, Dec. 8, 2020 - E36 Capital Corp. (TSXV: ETSC.P) ("E36" or the "Company"), a Capital Pool Company as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), is pleased to announce, further to its news release dated September 30, 2020, an increase in the size of its concurrent financing (the "Concurrent Financing"). The Concurrent Financing is being undertaken in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of Kalo Gold Corp. ("Kalo"), which is intended to constitute the Company's qualifying transaction (the "Transaction").

The Concurrent Financing as previously announced was to consist of the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, an "E36 Share") at a price of $0.20 per E36 Share for gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Due to overwhelming demand, the Company now intends to issue an additional 6,100,000 E36 Shares at a price of $0.20 per E36 Share for minimum total gross proceeds of $3,220,000.

It was previously announced that 38,950,000 E36 Shares would be issued to Kalo shareholders in connection with the Transaction. However, based on the number of currently issued and outstanding common shares of Kalo (each, a "Kalo Share"), it is expected that the Company will instead issue to the shareholders of Kalo a total of 27,450,000 E36 Shares, on the basis of one E36 Share for each Kalo Share, at a deemed price of $0.20 per E36 Share. As a result of the increase in the Concurrent Financing, the number of E36 Shares outstanding at the closing of the Transaction will increase, such that there will be 51,125,000 Shares outstanding on completion of the Transaction. Insiders may participate in the Concurrent Financing, but such information is not known at this time. The E36 Shares issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing are expected to constitute 31.5% of the issued and outstanding E36 Shares upon the completion of the Transaction.

The following table sets out information respecting the Company's expected sources of cash following the completion of the Transaction. The amounts shown in the table are estimates and are based upon the information available to the Company and Kalo as of the date hereof:

E36 Provides Update with respect to the Proposed Transaction with Kalo Gold Corp.

The Company is also pleased to announce an update to the proposed Transaction. The amalgamation agreement dated September 30, 2020 with Kalo and 1266094 B.C. Ltd, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of completing the acquisition of Kalo, has been amended effective as of November 26, 2020 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides for a voluntary lock-up of 8,950,000 E36 Shares issuable to holders of Kalo Shares in connection with the Transaction. The lock-up will apply to Kalo shareholders who acquired their Kalo Shares at a price of $0.05 per Kalo Share (the "Lock Up Securities") for a period of nine (9) months from the completion of the Transaction (the "Lock-Up Period"). 50% of the Lock-Up Securities will be released on the date which is six (6) months from the date of closing of the Transaction, and the remaining 50% of the Lock-Up Securities will be released on the date which is nine (9) months from the date of closing of the Transaction. During the Lock-Up Period, the holders of the Lock-Up Securities may not sell, transfer, assign, option or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written approval of the Company.

Delta Mining Ltd. ("Delta"), a British Virgin Islands company, holds 10,625,000 Kalo Shares. In connection with the Transaction, Delta will receive 10,625,000 E36 Shares, which are expected to constitute 20.8% of the issued and outstanding E36 Shares upon the completion of the Transaction. Delta will become a new control person of the Company upon the completion of the Transaction. Delta is controlled and directed in part by Michael Nesbitt, who is expected to be appointed as a director of E36 in connection with the Transaction.

Trading of the E36 Shares will remain halted until such time as the TSXV may determine, having regard to the completion of certain requirements pursuant to the CPC Policy. Further details of the Transaction will follow in future news releases.


Kalo Commences Drill Program at Qiriyaga Zone, Vatu Aurum Gold Project

The Company is also pleased to announce that Kalo will be starting its exploration program on December 7, 2020. The approved exploration program consists of 1,800 meters of diamond drilling in the Qiriyaga Zone, soil sampling and ground geophysics (IP). In preparation for the exploration program, Kalo has undertaken road upgrade and camp improvement in preparation for the exploration program. Kalo-owned drill rig is on site and started drilling the first hole in Qiriyaga Hill on December 7th.

Qiriyaga Zone, where Kalo plans to initially focus its work is a 2.5 km long northeast trending zone defined by soil geochemistry and trenching. Drilling on Qiriyaga Hill located on the southern end of this zone confirmed the presence of several high-grade zones with selective drill intersections including *8.75 m @ 36.02 g/t Au (61.25 to 80m) and 10 m @ 27.18 g/t Au (76-86 m) including 120 g/t Au between 80-83 m in drill hole KCD-17.

In addition to high-grade gold mineralization, drilling in Qiriyaga Hill over a limited area of 140 m x 210 m resulted in defining a **resource estimate (historical) of 114,598 oz gold of mostly oxide mineralization, starting at surface down to depth of 45m only. Mineralization in Qiriyaga Zone is considered to be epithermal type as with the rest of the targets in the property. Outside of Qiriyaga Zone there are at least 14 gold targets that have been identified by the previous operator, some exhibiting copper mineralization. These targets, as with Qiriyaga Zone, are located within or around two calderas that are present in the property.

*The Qualified Person has not verified the data disclosed and has not completed sufficient work to verify the historical technical data and information regarding the Property.

Kalo is in the process of preparing an independent technical report with respect to the Vatu Aurum Gold Project in accordance with the requirements under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Further disclosure will be provided in subsequent news releases. The Technical Report will be filed on E36's SEDAR profile once completed.

**The historical estimate was prepared by Roberto Tan (AusIMM), and Roman Celis, Jr. in February 2017 for Kalo Gold Ltd. in their report "Cirianiu Gold Project Resource Evaluation" using categories and definitions consistent with CIM Definition Standards For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (November 27, 2010) at the time of completion of the "estimate", as outlined in NI 43-10, however a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and therefore the Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources. Investors are cautioned that the historical estimates do not mean or imply that economic deposits exist on the Property. The Company has not undertaken any independent investigation of the historical estimate or other information contained in this presentation nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work in order to verify the accuracy of the information. The Company believes that the historical estimate and other technical information contained in this news release are relevant to continuing exploration on the Property.

Fred Tejada, Chief Executive Officer of Kalo Gold Corp. commented: "We commenced drilling this week with the goal of completing the programmed six holes in the first quarter of 2021. Kalo's experience, the presence of a trained local workforce and a drill-rig that it owns allow it tremendous capacity to mobilize and start the work program. We are look forward to completing the Qualifying Transaction with E36 and start trading in the public markets."
