REPEAT: MegumaGold and Osprey Gold Sign Definitive Agreement for Plan of Arrangement to Create a Leading Precious Metals Exploration Company in Nova Scotia

HALIFAX, June 10, 2020 - MegumaGold Corp. (CSE: NSAU, OTC: NSAUF, FWB: 2CM2) (“MegumaGold”) and Osprey Gold Development Ltd. (TSXV: OS, OTCQB: OSSPF) (“Osprey”) are pleased to announce that, further to their joint press release on March 23, 2020, the companies have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) to merge their respective businesses pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”) to create a leading Nova Scotia precious metals exploration company focused within highly prospective and reactivated historic mining camps of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Theo Van der Linde, President of MegumaGold stated, “We’re incredibly pleased to have executed the definitive agreement to combine with Osprey. This consolidation forms the foundation of a company positioned to capitalize on the emerging Meguma gold camp in Nova Scotia amidst a rapidly developing gold market. MegumaGold continues to be strongly focused on acquiring high-quality targets with known gold potential within stable underexplored jurisdictions. The combination of MegumaGold’s commanding land position in Nova Scotia and Osprey’s existing gold deposits creates a unique synergy designed to increase shareholder value through the use of modern exploration techniques in the Meguma Gold District, adjacent to Atlantic Gold’s mining operations acquired by St Barbara Ltd. for $802 million cash consideration in July 2019.”

Osprey Gold President, Cooper Quinn commented, “The combined entity of MegumaGold and Osprey will have a leading group of assets in the region and a stronger market presence than either company could achieve alone. We look forward to leveraging the collective strengths of the new team to explore the combined portfolio of assets ranging from early stage exploration through resource expansion and development. We are very pleased with the deal we have structured and believe it offers significant benefits to Osprey shareholders.”

Key benefits of this transaction for MegumaGold and Osprey shareholders:

• MegumaGold’s untested target anomalies on Moose River Anticlinal Structure 4km south west of St Barbara’s Touquoy Milling facility, combined with Osprey’s current mineral resources completed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) that are open for expansion;
  
• Consolidated district scale land package in Nova Scotia’s most prospective gold mining regions;
• Strengthened balance sheet and greater ongoing access to capital;
• Capacity to create operational synergies to increase exploration efforts while streamlining programs and budgets;
• Significantly strengthened management and leadership team with balanced and complimentary skillsets; and
• Broader in-house technical expertise.

Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is currently experiencing a resurgence in gold exploration, predominantly as a result of the St Barbara Ltd. acquisition of Atlantic Gold and its Moose River Consolidated Project in July 2019 for C$802 million cash consideration. The Moose River Consolidated Project is currently producing gold from the Touquoy open-pit mine located approximately 10 km south of Osprey’s Caribou Project and 4 km east of MegumaGold’s Touquoy West Project.

Details of the Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, MegumaGold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Osprey (the “Osprey Shares”). Each shareholder of Osprey will receive such number of common shares of MegumaGold (the “Meguma Shares”) as is equal to the product of the number of Osprey Shares held by such shareholder at an exchange ratio which equals one (1) Meguma Share per two (2) Osprey Shares outstanding at the closing of the Transaction.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that unexercised Osprey options and share purchase warrants will be assumed by MegumaGold and will: (i) remain outstanding for their full term, and (ii) following the closing date of the Transaction, entitle the holder thereof to acquire MegumaGold Shares in lieu of Osprey Shares, in such number and at such exercise price as shall be adjusted based on the exchange ratio inherent in the Transaction, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as existed prior to the Transaction.

Osprey will have the right to appoint 2 members to the board of directors of the resulting issuer, with the total number of members of such board of directors to be initially set at 5. Osprey shall also contribute management personnel to the resulting issuer.

MegumaGold currently has 102,780,640 outstanding shares and 31,364,506 shares reserved for issuance under incentive stock options and warrants. As of today’s date, without inclusion of including any of MegumaGold’s current shareholdings in Osprey, it is anticipated an aggregate of 36,671,166 common shares of MegumaGold are anticipated to be issued to Osprey shareholders, along with incentive stock options and warrants entitling Osprey shareholders to acquire a further 16,303,567 common shares of MegumaGold.

Based on the foregoing and assuming no outstanding common shares or warrants of Osprey are exercised prior to closing and before giving effect to any concurrent financing, the resulting issuer from the Transaction will have 139,451,806 shares issued and outstanding, of which former shareholders of Osprey will hold approximately 26.3% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the resulting issuer (27.4% of the common shares of the resulting issuer on a fully diluted basis).

The Transaction was negotiated at arm’s length, will be implemented by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Transaction is subject to the approval of two thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Osprey’s common shares present in person or represented by all at a special meeting of the Osprey shareholders. The Transaction is expected to close shortly thereafter following receipt of all shareholder, court, certain third-party and stock exchange approvals. Further details as to the proposed record date and meeting date for Osprey’s special meeting of shareholders will be disclosed in due course. It is not anticipated that MegumaGold shareholders will be required to approve the Transaction.
