Progressive Planet Closes First Tranche of Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $4,014,675

Second Close of Additional $1,505,000 Expected Shortly

VANCOUVER, Feb. 10, 2022 - Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) ("PLAN", "Progressive Planet" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its December 24, 2021 news release, it has closed a non-brokered first tranche of its private placement financing of units (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of $4,014,675.

Under the first tranche, 11,470,500 units were sold at $0.35 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable at $0.60 per share for a period of two years from issuance. If, in the second year of the exercise period, the trading price of the Company's common shares on the TSXV is greater than $0.75 per share for a period of ten trading days, the exercise period may be accelerated.

Each of the first tranche shares, warrants and common shares underlying the warrants are subject to a four month hold period expiring June 10, 2022.

Proceeds from the first tranche will be used toward payment of the cash consideration payable by the Company in its acquisition of Absorbent Products Ltd. ("APL"), to fund the recommended work program with respect to APL's mineral properties, and to assist with APL debt retirement assumed by the Company under the acquisition.

A second tranche of confirmed orders for at least 4.3 million additional units, for gross proceeds of at least $1,505,000, is expected to close shortly. The Company anticipates that 300,000 units in the additional tranche will be subscribed for, directly or indirectly, by George David Richardson. In addition, 50,000 units will be subscribed for, directly or indirectly, by Stephen Harpur, PLAN's CEO. Three shareholders of Absorbent Products will also subscribe for an aggregate of 1,745,000 units. The Company will provide further update when the additional tranche has closed.

Completion of aforementioned acquisition remains subject to, among other things, final approval by the TSXV and fulfillment of TSXV requirements. There is no assurance or guarantee that the acquisition will be completed as described or at all.
