Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2022) - Royal Fox Gold Inc. (TSXV: FOXG) ("Royal Fox" or the "Company") reports that, in light of the acquisition by Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSXV: SUP) (OTCQX: NSUPF) ("Northern Superior") announced on September 6, 2022 (the "Transaction"), insiders have exercised a total of 6,500,000 warrants of the Company having a strike price of C$0.06. The Company also reminds warrant holders of the necessity to exercise warrants before the closing of the Transaction in order to be entitled to receive the contingent value right (the "CVR") as part of the Transaction. The CVR could be worth up to 0.06 of an additional share of Northern Superior, a value of approximately C$0.03 per share of Royal Fox based on the closing price of Northern Superior shares on September 23, 2022.

To receive the CVR, and therefore be entitled to further consideration shares, the Company recommends that warrant holders complete the warrant exercise process by no later than October 28, 2022. The closing of the Transaction is expected to take place on or around November 4, 2022.

Pursuant to the Transaction, in addition to the base purchase price of 0.12 of a share of Northern Superior per share of Royal Fox, shareholders of the Company will receive contingent consideration in the form of one CVR for each Royal Fox share. The CVR will provide for the potential payment of additional consideration upon the declaration of a mineral resource estimate of 1.2 million ounces or more on the Company's Philibert project (the "Philibert Project") in the inferred, measured and indicated categories (as such terms are defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) (the "Resource Calculation") within 12 months from the closing of the Transaction.

Upon the declaration of the Resource Calculation, each CVR will be exchanged for:

  • 0.02 of a Northern Superior share, if the Resource Calculation is equal to or greater than 1.2 million ounces of gold and less than 1.6 million ounces of gold;
  • 0.04 of a Northern Superior share, if the Resource Calculation is equal to or greater than 1.6 million ounces of gold and less than 2.0 million ounces of gold; or
  • 0.06 of a Northern Superior share, if the Resource Calculation is equal to or greater than 2.0 million ounces of gold.

The considerations above represent a value of approximately C$0.01, C$0.02 and C$0.03 per share, respectively, based on the closing price of Northern Superior shares on September 23, 2022.
