("Big Dougie") (TSXV:STUV.P) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated March 27, 2020, it has entered into a definitive share exchange agreement dated May 28, 2020 (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Compania Minera Auberon SpA ("Auberon") and Inversiones Romelio SpA ("Romelio", and together with Auberon, the "Andina Unitholders") pursuant to which Big Dougie will, subject to certain conditions, acquire all of the issued and outstanding units (the "Andina Units") of Compania Recursos Andina Limitada ("Andina"). The transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") is intended to constitute Big Dougie's "Qualifying Transaction" (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")).


About Andina

Andina is a private limited partnership formed under the laws of Chile on December 20, 2019 and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties.

Andina owns a 100% interest in the exploration-stage Coba Southwest Project, located approximately 55 kilometres north-northwest of Vallenar in the Atacama Region (Region III), Chile. The Coba Southwest Project is accessible by road and consists of three (3) exploration claims and four (4) exploitation claims totaling 820 hectares. A technical report in support of the Coba Southwest Project was prepared by Eric L. Hanson, P. Geo, an independent "Qualified Person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 and will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days from the date of this news release.

As of the date hereof, there are 100 Andina Units outstanding and held entirely by the Andina Unitholders. Auberon, a corporation registered under the laws of Chile and controlled by Gert Karl Ellard Zelanzuela, a resident of Chepica Abajo, Chile, holds 60 Andina Units and Romelio, a corporation registered under the laws of Chile and controlled by Cecilia Alday Araya, a resident of Santiago, Chile, holds 40 Andina Units. Therefore, Auberon and Romelio each own, control or direct 10% or more of the outstanding Andina Units.


Terms of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Big Dougie will acquire all of the Andina Units from the Andina Unitholders in exchange for the payment by Big Dougie of USD $500,000 and the issuance of an aggregate 50,000,000 common shares of Big Dougie (each, a "Big Dougie Common Share") at a deemed price of $0.055 per share. Further to its news release dated March 27, 2020, Al Kroontje, a director and insider of Big Dougie, advanced to Andina a non-refundable deposit of USD $250,000 (the "Deposit"). Big Dougie did not advance any funds towards the Deposit and in the event the Qualifying Transaction does not close, Big Dougie shall not, in accordance with the policies of the Exchange, repay any of the Deposit to Mr. Kroontje.

At closing of the Qualifying Transaction, Andina will be wholly owned by Big Dougie. Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

As the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 of the Exchange), the Share Exchange Agreement does not require approval of the shareholders of Big Dougie (the "Big Dougie Shareholders"). Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that Big Dougie will be a Tier 2 mining issuer pursuant to the policies of the Exchange.


Private Placement

Prior to or in conjunction with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Big Dougie is expected to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 22,000,000 Big Dougie Common Shares at a price of $0.055 per Big Dougie Common Share (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to Big Dougie of up to $1,210,000 (the "Private Placement").

In connection with the Private Placement, BDC, in its discretion, may pay a cash commission of up to 7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of BDC Common Shares and issue such number of broker warrants ("BDC Broker Warrants") that is equal to up to 7% of the number of BDC Common Shares sold pursuant to the Private Placement. Each BDC Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to one (1) BDC Common Share and is exercisable at a price of $0.055 per BDC Common Share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance, subject to the requirements of the TSXV.

It is intended that the net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for the exploration and development of the Coba Southwest Project and general working capital following completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Conditions to Completion of the Qualifying Transaction

Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, (i) acceptance by the Exchange and receipt of other applicable regulatory approvals; and (ii) completion of the Private Placement. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
