GTA Resources and Mining Inc. Signs Definitive Agreement for Sale of Assets

GTA has previously announced it had received gross proceeds of $425,000 (four hundred twenty-five thousand dollars) pursuant to a loan (the "Loan") from an arm's length party (the "Lender"). GTA has used those funds in part to honour its outstanding 'flowthrough' obligations. GTA also announced that it and the Lender were in discussions whereby GTA would sell all its mining assets and then acquire assets in another industry (the "Change of Business"). The Sale Agreement for all GTA's mining assets is part of the Change of Business.

In consideration for the Assets, CBLT will pay $1,050,000 to GTA, by way of 21,000,000 Units to be issued from CBLT's treasury at five cents per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one full common share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant shall have a two-year term and be exercisable at $0.08 (eight cents), and shall have an acceleration clause triggered if the closing price for CBLT's shares exceeds $0.16 (sixteen cents) for 20 (twenty) consecutive trading days.

Following closing on the Sale Agreement, GTA intends to distribute the Units to its shareholders pro rata, in furtherance of the Loan and the Change of Business. GTA's shareholders will continue to have exposure to the Assets as a result of such distribution.

"GTA's shareholders have the potential to win twice," said Peter M. Clausi, GTA's CEO. "Their new ownership of CBLT shares and warrants after the expected dividend will give them an upside on exploration, and their continuing ownership of their GTA shares provides exposure to what should be a higher-growth industry outside of mining."

There is no standstill agreement or break fee in the Sale Agreement. Since first announcing the possible sale of the Assets to CBLT, GTA has entertained formal and informal expressions of interest from other persons for the sale of part of the Assets, but has received no offer or expression of interest for all the Assets. In the opinion of the board, no other expression of interest offers the same or better value as does the transaction contemplated in the Sale Agreement.

Gravitas Securities Inc. is a member firm in the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, and has provided an opinion (the "Opinion") to the Board of Directors of GTA that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the scope of review, assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters described in such opinion, the consideration to be paid by CBLT in connection with the proposed transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to GTA's shareholders.

GTA has called a shareholder meeting for January 7, 2019 to consider the Sale Agreement, the de-listing from the TSX Venture Exchange as part of the Change of Business, the Sale Terms and other matters. A copy of the Opinion will be enclosed with the materials sent to shareholders for that meeting, and will be available at www.sedar.ca as a schedule to the information circular.

CBLT is a Canadian reporting issuer in good standing (symbol "CBLT" on TSX Venture Exchange). GTA and CBLT are non-arm's length as they have a Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in common, both of whom are also directors of both GTA and CBLT. Each of CBLT and GTA has taken steps to manage all conflicts of interest.

ABOUT GTA RESOURCES - GTA is a publicly traded company with roughly 51,000,000 shares outstanding. GTA has disclosed its intention to exit the mining sector and enter another as-yet unidentified sector.

On behalf of the board of directors,
