Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2020) - Austral Gold Limited (ASX: AGD) (TSXV: AGLD) ("Austral")  and Revelo Resources Corp. (TSXV: RVL) ("Revelo") are pleased to announce, further to their joint announcement of September 2, 2020, that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement dated November 12, 2020 (the "Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Austral has agreed to acquire all the outstanding common shares of Revelo (each, a "Revelo Share") for a combination of shares and cash by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Transaction").

Particulars of the Transaction

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Revelo Shares ("Revelo Shareholders") will be entitled to receive, in exchange for each Revelo Share held immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction: (i) 0.9184 ordinary shares of Austral (each whole share, an "Austral Share"), and (ii) C$0.03045715 in cash, together representing an implied price of $0.305977 per Revelo Share based on the closing price of Austral Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange of C$0.30 on September 1, 2020, the day prior to the original announcement of the Transaction. Austral proposes to fund the aggregate cash consideration in the amount of C$1,176,471 using its cash reserves. Austral will use existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Austral Shares which form part of the consideration. Austral expects that it will issue an aggregate of 35,475,113 Austral Shares to the Revelo Shareholders under the Transaction.

Completing the Transaction will, among other things, require the approval of at least two-thirds (66⅔ percent) of the votes cast by Revelo Shareholders at a special meeting expected to take place in early January 2021 (the "Revelo Meeting"). Revelo Shareholders representing approximately 51.6% of the issued and outstanding Revelo Shares have entered into voting and support agreements with Austral in support of the Arrangement. The board of directors of Revelo has unanimously approved the Arrangement and will recommend that Revelo Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

There will be no changes to the Board of Austral as a consequence of the Transaction. Completion of the Transaction will not require approval of the shareholders of Austral.

Completion of the Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to the following material conditions:

• approval of the Revelo Shareholders at the Revelo Meeting;
• obtaining all applicable regulatory approvals (including court approval in B.C., Canada); and
• the absence of material adverse changes to Revelo or Austral.

The Arrangement Agreement includes covenants typical of transactions of this nature, including with respect to non-solicitation and right to match. In addition, Revelo and Austral have each agreed to pay a termination fee of US$500,000 to the other party upon the occurrence of certain events.

If all conditions precedent for completion of the Transaction are satisfied or waived, the Transaction is expected to close during January 2021.

Austral's Chief Executive Officer, Stabro Kasaneva, said; "We are very pleased to have entered into the definitive Arrangement Agreement with Revelo. The addition of Revelo's assets to our portfolio, including three projects located close to our pre-existing Guanaco/Amancaya mining complex is strategic, and provides us with a leading role in the Paleocene-Eocene Belt in Chile. In addition, we believe this prolific mineralized belt is underexplored for precious metals."

Revelo's Chairman, Michael Winn, commented; "The signing of the definitive Arrangement Agreement with Austral represents the next step in what is an incredibly attractive deal for Revelo's shareholders. We look forward to the successful completion of this Transaction."

Full details of the Arrangement will be included in the management information circular of Revelo describing the matters to be considered at the Revelo Meeting which is expected to be mailed to the Revelo Shareholders in December 2020. Copies of the management information circular and Arrangement agreement will be made available on SEDAR ().
