VANCOUVER, Oct. 19, 2016 - Big North Graphite Corp. (TSX-V: NRT) (the "Company" or "Big North"), announces that further to its press release of October 3, 2016, it has entered into a Property Purchase Agreement dated October 14, 2016 (the "Purchase Agreement") with TrioResources AG Inc. ("Trio") with respect to the acquisition of those certain assets and undertaking and the related production facilities and equipment (the "Assets") of the past-producing Duncan Kerr Property (the "Property") located in the Cobalt region of Northeastern Ontario, Canada (the "Acquisition"). Trio is an arm's length party to Big North, and therefore, shareholder approval of the Acquisition will not be required pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Acquisition constitutes a "Reviewable Transaction" for purposes of TSXV Policy 5.3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions of Non-Cash Assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Big North will issue to Trio 8,500,000 common shares (the "Payment Shares") in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $0.15 per Payment Share and will pay Trio certain cash consideration which is payable over a period of 24 months from closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing Date") (such payments subject to acceleration in certain circumstances). The Payment Shares are subject to a voluntary pooling agreement and will be released over a period of 18 months from the Closing Date, with 33 1/3% being released every six months from the Closing Date. The Payment Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day pursuant to applicable securities laws.
The Company has also entered into a Finder's Fee Agreement with an arm's length third party. The Company will pay a finder's fee for the Acquisition in shares and/or cash within the maximum amount permitted by the policies of the TSXV.
The Company intends to change its name to "CobalTech Mining Inc." upon completion of the acquisition.
Closing of the Acquisition is subject to, amongst other things, the preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the Property, satisfaction of certain closing conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement and the approval of the TSXV. The change of the Company name to CobalTech Mining Inc. will have be subject approval of the TSXV. There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.
