Bayshore Petroleum Corp. Provides Update on Proposed Reverse Takeover Transaction

And Signing of Definitive Agreement With Infinitum Copper Corp.

CALGARY, June 29, 2021 - Bayshore Petroleum Corp. (“Bayshore” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: BSH) announces that, further to its news release dated May 18, 2021, it has entered into an amalgamation agreement dated June 25, 2021 (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Infinitum Copper Corp. (“Infinitum”) and 1308039 B.C. Ltd. (“Subco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayshore, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Infinitum (the “Acquisition”). The Definitive Agreement replaces the previously announced letter of intent dated May 17, 2021 between the Company and Infinitum with respect to the Acquisition.

The Acquisition will constitute a “Reverse Takeover” under policy 5.2 Change of Business and Reverse Takeovers (“Policy 5.2”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), and is subject to approval of the Exchange.


Business of Infinitum & the Adelita Copper Project

Infinitum is a privately held company existing under the laws of the province of British Columbia. It is anticipated that Infinitum will have 28,116,667 common shares (“Infinitum Shares”) outstanding after completion of the Financing (as described below), and immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition.

Infinitum is engaged in the business of mineral exploration for copper in Mexico. Infinitum holds an option to acquire an 80% interest in the Adelita property, Sonora State, Mexico (the “Adelita Property”), from Minaurum Gold Inc. (TSX-V: MGG; “Minaurum”), as granted under the Mineral Property Option and Joint Venture Agreement dated February 17, 2021 between Infinitum, Minaurum and its subsidiary, Minaurum Gold, S.A. de C.V. In partial consideration of its option to acquire an 80% interest in the Adelita Property, Infinitum has granted a right to Minaurum (the “Minaurum Right”) to receive Infinitum Shares in a quantity equal to 16% of the issued and outstanding Infinitum Shares as of the date upon which its shares begin trading on a stock exchange, including the Exchange. Upon exercise of the option, Infinitum and Minaurum will form a joint venture (on an initial 80/20 basis) to undertake further work on the Adelita Property.

The following is a summary of a draft technical report dated June 10, 2021 on the Adelita Property as prepared by Lorne Warner P. Geo. for Infinitum:

The Adelita Property is comprised of seven mining claims covering 6,445.6117 hectares in Alamos Municipality in southern Sonora State and Choix Municipality in northern Sinaloa State. There are currently four prospective areas within the Adelita Property – the Cerro Grande Ridge, the Las Trancas prospect, the Don Pepe zone, and the Mezquital area. Local sources report that the short adit (the “Adelita” adit) and prospects along the Cerro Grande ridge date from the 1960s. At the Las Trancas prospect area, an open cut was dug into a shear-hosted Cu-oxide occurrence. There has been only limited review of the Mezquital area and Don Pepe zone.

The deposit types are copper-gold skarn deposits are associated with porphyry systems in many locations in the world. Porphyry copper deposits supply the majority of the world’s copper and molybdenum and are important sources of gold, silver, and other metals. Broadly, porphyry systems display similar alteration and mineralization zonation vertically and laterally. Garnet skarn with anomalous copper is developed in metasedimentary rocks in the Cerro Grande prospect area of the Adelita Property.

Transaction Structure

In accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the Acquisition will be effected by way of a “three-cornered” amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”), in which: (a) Subco will amalgamate with Infinitum to form an amalgamated company (“Amalco”); (b) all the issued and outstanding shares of Infinitum will be exchanged for post-consolidated common shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis (such consolidation described below); and (c) Amalco will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company (after completion of the Acquisition, the “Resulting Issuer”) will carry on the business currently conducted by Infinitum, consisting of mineral exploration in the mining sector. Bayshore anticipates issuing 34,043,652 post-consolidated common shares at a deemed price of $0.40 per share for an aggregate deemed price of $13,617,461 for the Acquisition. It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will have 37,043,652 post-consolidated common shares outstanding upon completion of the Acquisition.


Private Placement Financings

In conjunction with and as a condition of closing of the Acquisition, Infinitum has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the following financings:

(a) to raise $1,700,000 through the offer and sale of 11,333,333 Infinitum Shares at $0.15 per share; and

(b) to raise an additional $2,300,000 through the offer and sale of 5,750,000 units (“Infinitum Units”) at $0.40 per unit consisting of one Infinitum Share and one-half of one Infinitum Share purchase warrant (“Infinitum Warrant”), each whole Infinitum Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Infinitum Share at $0.60 for a period of 24 months, to raise, in aggregate, $4,000,000 (collectively, the “Financing”).

In connection with the sale of Infinitum Units under the Financing, Infinitum may pay a finder’s fee of up to 7% of the gross proceeds realized, to certain parties designated by the Company, and may also issue to such parties non-transferable warrants to purchase such number of Infinitum Shares as are up to 7% of the number of Infinitum Units issued pursuant to the Financing (the “Infinitum Finders’ Warrants”). Each Infinitum Finders’ Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Infinitum Share at $0.60 for a period of 24 months. It is intended that the net proceeds from the Financing will be used in the exploration of the Adelita Property, to fund the operations of the Resulting Issuer, and for general working capital purposes.


Bayshore Share Consolidation and Name Change

The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares (“Bayshore Shares”), of which 118,370,715 Bayshore Shares are outstanding as of the date of this news release. Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will consolidate its outstanding Bayshore Shares (the “Consolidation”) on such basis so as to have 3,000,000 consolidated Bayshore Shares (“Consolidated Bayshore Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition. Bayshore currently has 3,300,000 stock options outstanding which will be cancelled upon closing of the Acquisition.

The Consolidation is subject to shareholder approval and supporting documentation being accepted for filing by the Exchange. In conjunction with the Consolidation, Bayshore intends to seek shareholder approval to the change of name of the Company to “Infinitum Copper Corp.” at the annual and special meeting of the shareholders to be held on August 6, 2021. It is anticipated that the Company will seek Bayshore shareholder approval to the reverse takeover by the written consent of the holders of a majority of Bayshore’s outstanding shares, following the Exchange’s approval of a final Filing Statement in Form 3D2.


Closing of the Acquisition

On completion of the acquisition, Bayshore will issue the following securities on the terms described below:

- one Consolidated Bayshore Share for each Infinitum Share outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition, including those issued in connection with the Financing;

- 5,926,984 Consolidated Bayshore Shares to Minaurum such that Minaurum will hold 16% of the aggregate number of Consolidated Bayshore Shares outstanding on closing, in accordance with the Minaurum Right;

- one Consolidated Bayshore Share purchase warrant in exchange for each Infinitum Warrant outstanding immediately prior to completion of the Acquisition on the same terms and conditions as the Infinitum Warrants; and

- one Consolidated Bayshore Share purchase finder’s warrant in exchange for each Infinitum Finders’ Warrant outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition, on the same terms and conditions as the Infinitum Finders’ Warrants;

(collectively, and on such terms, the “Bayshore Securities”).

In addition, Infinitum and Subco will amalgamate under the terms and conditions prescribed in the Definitive Agreement, and continue as one corporation (Amalco) under the name of “Infinitum Copper Mining Corp.”.

As consideration for Bayshore issuing the Bayshore Securities to holders of Infinitum securities, Amalco will issue one common share to Bayshore for each Bayshore Consolidated Share issued; and Amalco will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayshore.


Bayshore Debt Restructuring and Asset Disposition

As part of the completion of the Acquisition, Bayshore will:

(i) eliminate the majority of its current and long-term liabilities by paying the same in cash or issuing BSH common shares in settlement thereof; such that thereafter Bayshore will have no liabilities, other than a shareholder loan of $53,500 and liabilities in connection with (i) the costs of the Acquisition, and (ii) ordinary administrative expenses incurred through to closing (the “Bayshore Debt Restructuring”); and

(ii) concurrent with the closing of the Acquisition, dispose of all of its petroleum and natural gas assets, its tailing remediation technology and business, and its subsidiary, Bayshore Oil Technology Corp., and will terminate all contracts in relation thereto (the “Bayshore Disposition”).

In conjunction with this, Infinitum has agreed to advance to Bayshore up to $120,000 to cover Bayshore’s general and administrative expenses to the date of closing the Acquisition (the “Advance”). The Advance is non-interest bearing and fully refundable in the event the Acquisition has not closed on or before December 31, 2021. Ivan Po Kwong Chan, a director of the Company, has agreed to guarantee payment of any refund payable pursuant to the Advance, through a corporation wholly owned by him.
