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. Board of Directors and Management
Changes
The Company will seek shareholder approval to
increase the number of directors of the Company from four to seven.
On completion of the Acquisition, the Company’s board of directors
and management team will be reconstituted to consist of a number of
