For additional information concerning the Transaction and the foregoing matters, please refer to Bluerock's press releases dated September 4, 2020 and December 2, 2020, which are available under Bluerock's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Transaction

Subject to regulatory approval and other conditions set out in the definitive agreement to be entered into between Bluerock and Tombill (the "Definitive Agreement"), Tombill will amalgamate with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluerock in order to facilitate the completion of the Transaction. Upon completion of the transaction Bluerock will change its name to "Tombill Mines Limited" (the "Resulting Issuer") and commence trading on the TSXV under the trading symbol "TBLL". It is the intention of the parties that corporation resulting from the Amalgamation will carry on Tombill's business as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer.

As previously announced on December 2, 2020, in connection with the Transaction Bluerock has completed a 3 old for 4 new forward share split effective at the open today December 4, 2020, resulting in a post-split capitalization of 10,133,333 common shares issued and outstanding. There are no other classes of shares, convertible securities, options, warrants or rights outstanding to acquire common shares in the capital of Bluerock. An aggregate of 93,220,000 post-split Bluerock Shares ("Resulting Issuer Shares") will be issued to the shareholders of Tombill in exchange for their shares of Tombill on a 1:1 basis. Upon completion of the Transaction and before giving effect to the Subscription Receipt Financing (as defined below), the shareholders of Bluerock will hold approximately 10,113,333 Resulting Issuer Shares and the shareholders of Tombill will hold approximately 93,220,000 Resulting Issuer Shares.

Subscription Receipt Financing

Tombill and Bluerock closed a brokered private placement of Subscription Receipts of Tombill for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,500,000. Tombill issued (i) 15,994,000 flow-through subscriptions receipts (the "FT Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.165 per FT Subscription Receipt, and (ii) 25,739,934 non-flow-through subscriptions receipts ("Non-FT Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.15 per Non-FT Subscription Receipt.

Upon satisfaction of certain escrow conditions, pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be exercised without any further consideration or action by the holder thereof. Initially, each FT Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be exercised into one Resulting Issuer Share which shall, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), be designated as a "flow through share" (each, a "Flow-Through Share") and (ii) one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Resulting Issuer Warrant") entitling the holder to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.23 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months. Immediately thereafter, each Non-FT Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be exercised into one Resulting Issuer Share and one-half of one Resulting Issuer Warrant.

In connection with the Subscription Receipt Financing, Tombill has agreed to pay to the Agents a cash fee plus a corporate finance fee (together, the "Agents' Commission"). The Agents are also entitled to receive 3,338,714 non-transferable compensation warrants (the "Broker Warrants") of the Resulting Issuer. The Broker Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per Resulting Issuer Share for a period of 24 months from the Escrow Release Date.

The following proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Financing will be held in escrow: (i) the gross proceeds of the FT Subscription Receipt financing; (ii) and the gross proceeds of the Non-FT Subscription Receipt financing less the expenses and out-of-pocket costs of the Agents incurred in connection with the Subscription Receipt Financing. Such proceeds shall be held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). If the Transaction is completed and the Escrow Release Conditions are met (the "Escrow Release Date"), the escrowed proceeds of the Subscription Receipt Financing, less the Agents' Fee, will be released to the Resulting Issuer, and each Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be exercised.

Participants in the Subscription Receipt Financing will receive an aggregate of 25,739,934 Resulting Issuer Shares, 15,994,000 Resulting Issuer FT Shares and 20,866,967 Resulting Issuer Warrants.
