VANCOUVER, July 14, 2020 - Western Atlas Resources Inc. ("Western Atlas" or the "Company") (TSXV: WA), is pleased to announce that it is increasing the size of its non-brokered placement announced July 8, 2020 from $2,000,000 to up to $3,500,000 in a mix of flow-through ("FT") and non-flow through ("NFT") units (the "Units"), with Gran Colombia Gold Corp. ("Gran Colombia") (TSX: GCM) purchasing NFT Units for proceeds of C$1,400,000. The private placement consists of the sale of flow-through units and non-flow-through units at a price of 10 cents.

Western Atlas may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants after one-year-and-a-half has elapsed from the closing in the event the common shares have a closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other exchange on which the common shares may be traded at such time) of greater than 18 cents per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given to the holders by Western Atlas, which notice shall be deemed to have been delivered to the holder three business days after the notice has been sent by Western Atlas to the holder by regular mail.
Finders' fees or brokers' commissions may be paid in accordance with TSX-V policies.
Proceeds from the private placement shall be used by Western Atlas for the drilling at Western Atlas's Meadowbank gold project in Nunavut, Canada, seeking restitution of the Increible project, and for general and administrative expenses.
