Medford, Wisconsin--(Newsfile Corp. - June 8, 2022) - Green Light Metals Inc. ("Green Light" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amending agreement made as of June 7, 2022, in respect of the previously announced amalgamation with Can-America Minerals Inc. ("Can-America") and 1328592 B.C. Ltd. ("Subco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to acquire Can-America by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Company is also pleased to announce that it closed, on a non-brokered basis, the first tranche of a private placement of 922,588 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $369,035 (the "Offering").

Acquisition of Can-America - Amending Agreement

As previously announced on December 16, 2021, the Company, Can-America and Subco entered into an amalgamation agreement on December 14, 2021 contemplating the Proposed Transaction (the "Amalgamation Agreement"). Under the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the laws of British Columbia, whereby Subco and Can-America amalgamate (on a post-continuance basis under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)), with Subco surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Proposed Transaction, the Company will hold all of Can-America's assets, including ownership or control of its mineral properties in Wisconsin and Nevada.

As of June 7, 2022, the parties entered into an amending agreement to the Amalgamation Agreement (the "Amending Agreement") altering certain closing conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement. Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, the parties will seek conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for the listing of the common shares of the resulting entity of the Proposed Transaction and seek to close a private placement of common shares of the Company or a financing entity for gross proceeds of at least $4 million (the "Private Placement"), following closing of the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction or the Private Placement will be completed as proposed or at all.

The Company and Can-America are aiming to list the common shares of the Company on the TSXV following the completion of the Proposed Transaction and the completion of the Private Placement. A filing statement will be prepared and filed in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

The Company and Can-America will provide further details upon the closing of each of the Proposed Transaction and the Private Placement and will make available all information, including financial information as required by the TSXV and will provide at a later date, in a press release, the required disclosure.

Offering

Pursuant to the Offering, each Unit is comprised of one common share (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable for one additional Common Share at a price of $0.60 for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.

Finder's fees consisting of an aggregate cash commission of $14,952.28 and 37,380 warrants to purchase Common Shares ("Finder Warrants") were paid by the Company in connection with the Offering. The finder's fees represent 6.0% of the aggregate proceeds raised and 6.0% of the Units issued to certain subscribers introduced to the Company by finders. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of completion of each closing date of the Offering, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

In connection with closing of the Offering, 150,000 Units were subscribed for by a related party of the Company (as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")). The participation of the related party in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company is relying upon exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the fair market value of the Offering is not more than $2,500,000 and the fact the Company is not listed on a specified market set out in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101.

The Company intends to close a second tranche of the Offering in the coming weeks.
