Golden Share and Lipari Receive Conditional Approval to List on Cboe Canada

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 19, 2024) - Golden Share Resources Corporation (TSXV: GSH) ("Golden Share") and Lipari Diamond Mines Ltd. ("Lipari") announced today that Cboe Canada Inc. stock exchange ("Cboe Canada") has granted conditional approval of their listing application to list the common shares (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") of Golden Share on Cboe Canada following its delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the completion of the proposed RTO Transaction (as defined below). Golden Share and Lipari are completing their previously announced arm's length reverse takeover transaction (the "RTO Transaction") to create a new listed diamond producing company with assets in Brazil, Angola and Canada. The combined company (the "Resulting Issuer") is expected to be re-named Lipari Mining Ltd. and it is anticipated that the trading of its common shares will commence on Cboe Canada in early 2025.

In connection with the completion of the proposed RTO Transaction, Lipari will complete a private placement of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of US$1.00 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price") for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $4,300,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $18,610,000, with the proceeds held in escrow pending closing of the proposed RTO Transaction. Each Subscription Receipt will be convertible into one common share in the capital of Lipari (a "Lipari Share") and one Lipari Share purchase warrant (a "Lipari Warrant"). Each Lipari Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Lipari Share at a price of $1.55 at any time on or before the 24-month anniversary of the date of issuance of the Lipari Warrants. Upon satisfaction and/or waiver (where permitted) of certain escrow release conditions, which will include, amongst other things, events in connection with the completion of the proposed RTO Transaction, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted, without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, into Lipari Shares and Lipari Warrants. As part of closing of the proposed RTO Transaction, all Lipari Shares and Lipari Warrants will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares and share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer (on substantially similar terms) on the basis of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below). Once converted and after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio, the effective exercise price of the Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrants of the Resulting Issuer to be issued in exchange for the Lipari Warrants will be $0.70.

Pursuant to the proposed RTO Transaction (a) the Lipari Shares (including, for greater certainty, the Lipari Shares issued upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts) will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of 2.21678892 Resulting Issuer Shares for each Lipari Share (the "Exchange Ratio"); (b) the Lipari Warrants (and other convertible securities of Lipari) will be exchanged for substantially equivalent securities of the Resulting Issuer with applicable adjustments to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

Final approval of the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares on Cboe Canada is subject to each of Golden Share and Lipari fulfilling all conditions prescribed by Cboe Canada.
