Meryllion Resources Corp. Announces Shares-for-Debt Transaction

Toronto, January 17, 2022 - Meryllion Resources Corp. (CSE: MYR), ("Meryllion" or the "Corporation") wishes to announce that it has completed a shares-for-debt transaction pursuant to which the Corporation issued a total of 900,000 common shares at a deemed issue price of $0.07 per share in settlement of $63,000 of outstanding management fees owing to two of the Corporation's officers and directors.

The issuance of shares to each of the officers and directors constitutes a related-party transaction within the meaning of Multi-Lateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

The issuances to the insiders are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization.

The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the shares-for-debt transaction because the details of the participation therein by related parties to the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.

All shares issued pursuant to the shares-for-debt transaction are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
