Orsu Metals Shareholders Approve Disposition of Russian Assets

VANCOUVER, August 26, 2022 - Orsu Metals Corp. (TSX-V:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company"). Orsu is pleased to announce that the shareholders of Orsu (the "Shareholders") have approved the disposition (the "Disposition") of Orsu's 90% interest (the "Majority Interest") in the Sergeevskoe gold project (the "Russian Assets") to the holders of the other 10% interest in the Russian Assets (the "Buyers"). The Disposition was approved by 99.6% of the votes cast by Shareholders, excluding the votes cast in respect of the shares held by the Buyers. All other matters put forward at the Meeting were approved at the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held August 26, 2022 (the "Meeting").

Two of the Buyers, Sergei Stefanovich and Vladimir Pakhomov, are also directors of the Company, and the remaining Buyer is wholly controlled by Sergei Stefanovich, so that the Disposition constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As disclosed in the Company's management information circular dated July 22, 2022 in respect of the Meeting, pursuant to MI 61-101, the Company sought and received shareholder approval of the Disposition, excluding the votes from any shares held by the Buyers.

As announced on May 24, 2022, Invenir Ltd. ("Invenir") and Skyfire Ltd. ("Skyfire", collectively, the "Target Companies"), and Orsu agreed to complete a business combination that will result in a reverse takeover and change of business of Orsu (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Target Companies are arm's length's parties to the Company.

The entity resulting from the Proposed Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") will be a global helium explorer and developer with exclusive rights to the Topaz helium project in the USA indirectly held by Invenir, which has been drilled and flowed 10.5% helium, and a 100% interest in the Tunu helium project in Greenland held directly by Skyfire. It is anticipated that following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will be named Pulsar Helium Inc. and will qualify as a Tier 2 Industrial Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including (1) receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, (2) execution of related transaction documents (3) completion of a concurrent private placement offering to raise proceeds of at least $5 million, at a price to be determined in the context of the market (the "Concurrent Financing"), (4) disposition of the Company's Russian assets and (5) there being no adverse material change in the affairs of the parties.

The ratio of the Company's proposed share consolidation (the "Consolidation") and the percentage holdings of the post-Consolidation common shares of the Company by the shareholders of the Target Companies may be adjusted based on the final pricing and final amount raised by the Concurrent Financing.

Further details of the Proposed Transaction will be included in subsequent news releases and disclosure documents (which will include business and financial information in respect of the Target Companies) to be filed by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

It is anticipated that the common shares of Orsu will remain halted until all necessary filings in respect of the Proposed Transaction have been accepted by applicable regulatory authorities.
