Valleyview Provides Update on Proposed Acquisition of Shift Rare Metals Including Financing Terms and New Board Members

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 7, 2024) - Valleyview Resources Ltd. (TSXV: VVR) ("Valleyview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its previously announced proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Shift Rare Metals Inc. ("Shift") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Proposed Transaction"). Shift is an arm's length privately held British Columbia company, which through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary holds certain claims in northwestern Colorado known as the Coyote Basin claims and the Red Walsh claims (the "Properties").

The Offering

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company and Shift have executed an engagement letter with SCP Resource Finance LP ("SCP" or the "Agent") under which SCP will act on behalf of Shift and the Company to complete a "best efforts" agency offering of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") of Shift at a price of C$0.30 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of a minimum C$7 million and a maximum of C$15 million (the "Offering") on a private placement basis.

Upon satisfaction of applicable escrow release conditions, including without limitation, satisfaction of all necessary conditions precedent to complete the Proposed Transaction, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged for one Class D common share of the Shift (a "Shift Share") and one half of one Class D common share purchase warrant (each whole Class D common share purchase warrant, a "Shift Warrant"). Each Shift Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Shift Share at an exercise price of C$0.50 for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance thereof.

As previously announced, prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction the Company intends to complete a share split of its outstanding common shares on 1:1.5 basis (such post-split common shares are referred to as the "Company Common Shares"). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, each Shift Share will be exchanged for one Company Share and each Shift Warrant will be exchanged for one warrant of the Company ("Company Warrants") having the same attributes as the Shift Warrants.

Shift will pay the Agent a commission of 6% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering (the "Agent's Fee") in connection with the Subscription Receipts sold and will also issue the Agent broker warrants ("Shift Broker Warrants") equivalent to 6% of the total number of Subscription Receipts sold, with each Shift Broker Warrant being exercisable for one Shift Share at an exercise price of C$0.30 for a period of 60 months from the date of the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, each Shift Broker Warrant will be exchanged for one broker warrant of the Company ("Company Warrants") having the same attributes as the Shift Broker Warrants.

The Agent has also been granted an option to arrange for the purchase of up to an additional 15% of the Subscription Receipts exercisable in whole or in part, any time up to three business days prior to the closing of the Offering.

The gross proceeds of the Offering, less 50% of the Agent's Fee and 50% of the Agent's expenses, will be placed into escrow pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. In the event the escrow release conditions are not satisfied within 75 days of closing of the Offering or the Proposed Transaction is otherwise terminated, the escrowed funds together with accrued interest earned thereon will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled. To the extent that the escrowed funds are insufficient to refund 100% of the purchase price of the Subscription Receipts to the holders thereof, the Company and Shift shall be jointly and severally responsible for any shortfall.

Following release from escrow and completion of the Proposed Transaction, the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration on the Properties and general corporate and working capital purposes.
