Closing of the RTO

Earlier today, Millennial (as successor to 768) and Millennial Silver completed their previously announced reverse take-over transaction (the "RTO"), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Millennial Silver amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennial pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Amalgamation"), (ii) all of the outstanding common shares of Millennial Silver (each, a "Millennial Silver Share") were cancelled and, in consideration therefor, the holders thereof received Millennial Shares on the basis of one Millennial Silver Share for one Millennial Share (the "Exchange Ratio"), and (iii) the amalgamated corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennial (collectively, the "Transactions"). The previous shareholders of Millennial Silver now collectively exercise control over Millennial. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, all securities of Millennial Silver convertible or exercisable into Millennial Silver Shares have ceased to represent a right to acquire Millennial Silver Shares and now provide for the right to acquire the same number of Millennial Shares at the same conversion or exercise price per share, reflecting the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the RTO, shareholders of Millennial also approved certain administrative and procedural amendments to its articles and also approved an advance notice policy establishing a framework for advance notice of nominations of directors by shareholders of Millennial. A copy of the advance notice policy is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Millennial's issuer profile.

Prior to completion of the Amalgamation, 768 effected a consolidation of its outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every 1.5 pre-consolidation shares, resulting in a total of 1,999,999 shares on a post-consolidation basis, and changed its name from "1246768 B.C. Ltd." to "Millennial Precious Metals Corp." In connection with the Transactions, an aggregate of 133,385,108 Shares were issued to former shareholders of Millennial Silver, resulting in an aggregate of 135,385,107 Shares outstanding upon completion of the Transactions. The Shares were issued at a deemed price of Cdn.$0.50 per Share.

Further details regarding the RTO and the Amalgamation are set out in the Form 2B (Listing Application) of Millennial (formerly 768) dated April 19, 2021 (the "Listing Application"), which is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Millennial's issuer profile.
