April 30, 2020

Further to Bitterroot Resources Ltd.'s (BTT, TSX-V), (the "Company") news release dated April 27, 2020 announcing a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"), and in light of the TSX Venture Exchange's (the "Exchange") recently released Temporary Relief Bulletin dated April 8, 2020 (the "Bulletin"), the Company's management has amended the terms of the Private Placement. The Company now intends to issue at least 1,428,571 units of the Company (each, a "Unit"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), priced at $0.035 per Unit, for minimum gross proceeds of $50,000. Each Warrant entitles the purchaser to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.06 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. The pricing of the Private Placement is made in reliance of the temporary relief measures established in the Bulletin.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to concurrent statutory and Exchange-mandated four-month hold periods commencing on the closing date of the Private Placement. The Private Placement is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement primarily for exploration expenditures as set out below and for working capital. Following the relaxation of travel restrictions within Michigan and Nevada, the Company plans to:

  • drill-test the LM nickel-copper-PGM project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, which will be funded by optionee Below Exploration, Inc., and,
  • resume target definition and geological work on the Castle West gold project in Nevada, which is under option from Ely Gold Royalties Inc.

Certain insiders of the Company, including Michael Carr, may participate in the Private Placement and their participation will constitute related party transactions pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company will be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the participation of the insiders in the Private Placement in reliance of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively. The Company will obtain approval by the board of directors of the Company to the Private Placement, with the participating insiders of Company declaring and abstaining from voting on the resolutions with respect to their participation in the Private Placement.
