Top Exploration Inc. to Acquire the Beaufort and Myrtleford Gold Projects in the Victoria Gold Fields, Australia

VANCOUVER, Oct. 9, 2020 - Top Exploration Inc. (CSE: TE) ("Top Exploration" or the 'Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI"), with E79 Resources Pty Ltd., a private Australian registered company ("E79") and its shareholders, pursuant to which Top Exploration will acquire all of the outstanding shares of E79 and thereby acquire 100% of the Victorian portfolio of gold projects. E79 owns two projects, which are located in the prolific and underexplored Victorian gold fields, where recent exploration has delivered numerous successes. E79 owns the Beaufort project (120km2) and the Myrtleford project (418km2), both of which are located within the same geological province and in a setting similar to Kirkland Lake Gold's tier one gold mine, Fosterville, which is one of the world's highest-grade and lowest-cost producing gold mines.1

"The Company is excited by the acquisition of the Beaufort and Myrtleford projects," said Rory Quinn, Top Exploration's President and Chief Executive Officer. "What attracted us to this opportunity is the significant alluvial production at both properties where no hard rock source has been defined to date, as well as the Myrtleford project hosting dozens of historical high grade mines. Well defined geochemical gold anomalies exist based on both historical work and more recent exploration undertaken by E79, and considerable exploration potential exists for Fosterville-style mineralization,"

In consideration of the acquisition of E79, the Company is expected to issue 20,000,000 shares, of which 14,000,000 of such shares will be subject to contractually agreed restrictions on transfer. 2,000,000 shares will be restricted until February 8, 2021, 4,000,000 shares will be restricted until April 7, 2021, 4,000,000 shares will be restricted until July 7, 2021 and 4,000,000 shares will be restricted until October 7, 2021.

Closing of the acquisition of E79 is subject to completion of the definitive agreement, and completion of the Company's filing requirements with the CSE and under applicable securities laws.
