Victory Metals Provides Update Regarding Significantly Oversubscribed Financing

The Private Placement is being conducted in conjunction with the previously announced merger of equals transaction (the "Merger") between Victory and Nevada King Mining Ltd. ("Nevada King") pursuant to which Victory will acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Nevada King for common shares of Victory (the "Victory Shares"), with the shareholders of Nevada King to hold 50% of the issued and outstanding Victory Shares on completion of the Merger. In addition to customary conditions to completion of the Merger, including shareholder, court and regulatory approvals, a key business condition is the completion of an $8 million financing at an effective price per Victory share of not less than $0.50.

Details Regarding The Subscription Receipts

The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into between Victory and the subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to receive one post-Merger Victory Share immediately after closing of the Merger, subject to other standard conditions, without further action on the part of the holder and without payment of additional consideration. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be held in escrow pending the completion of the Merger. If the Merger is not completed before April 16, 2020 the Subscription Receipts will be deemed to be cancelled and the holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a cash amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price of their Subscription Receipts and any interest that was earned on the Subscription Price.

The Subscription Receipts to be issued under the Private Placement and the Victory Shares to be issued in exchange for the Subscription Receipts upon the closing of the Transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Private Placement.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to advance Victory's development and exploration stage assets and for other general corporate purposes.
