Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 24, 2022) – Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) (“Enertopia” or the “Company”) a company focused on building shareholder value through a combination of our Nevada Lithium claims, intellectual property, & patents in the green technology space, is pleased to provide the following update.
Enertopia and Cypress Development Corp. have entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated February 23, 2022 (the “Agreement”), whereby Cypress Development Corp. will pay Enertopia $1,100,000 in USD dollars and 3,000,000 Cypress Development Corp. common shares, to purchase 100% of the Company’s Clayton Valley lithium project. Enertopia received $50,000 of the $1.1 million on signing the definitive agreement. The closing remains subject to the customary approvals and closing conditions for such a transaction.
If completed, the sale of the Clayton Valley mineral claims will allow Enertopia to participate in the upside along with Cypress as they are now well underway at their pilot plant in Nevada. We expect that as they continue to de risk the claystone lithium project, the valuation of Cypress shares Enertopia will receive will appreciate in value, and the consolidation of the project into one general owner at the end of the day is in the best interest of all stakeholders.
Board of Directors’ Recommendations
The Agreement has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Enertopia who recommend that Enertopia Shareholders vote in favour of the Agreement. The Agreement has also been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Cypress Development Corp.
Transaction Conditions & Timing
Full details of the transaction will be included in the proxy statement of Enertopia that is expected to be mailed to Enertopia Shareholders in March 2022. The transaction will be subject to the approval of at least 50% of the votes cast by Enertopia Shareholders, at a special meeting of Enertopia Shareholders expected to be held on or around the end of April 2022.
