VR Resources Ltd.* (TSX.V: VRR; previously Roll-Up Capital Corp.) Announces Closing of Qualifying Transaction With Renntiger Resources Limited


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - March 21, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

VR Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: VRR) (the "Company" or "VR Resources"), formerly Roll-Up Capital Corp., is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced Qualifying Transaction involving the Company and Renntiger Resources Limited ("Renntiger"). As a result of the Qualifying Transaction, Renntiger became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the Qualifying Transaction, Renntiger raised a total of approximately $4.4 million, which included a brokered financing of approximately $4 million that was co-led by GMP Securities and PI Financial, (the "Financing").

Trading (Tier 2) in the shares of VR Resource, which have been halted pending closing of the Qualifying Transaction, is expected to commence under the symbol "VRR" following the issuance of the TSX Venture Exchange's final bulletin in respect of the Qualifying Transaction, on or about March 23, 2017.

VR Resources will continue the business plan and exploration strategy undertaken by Renntiger over the past 4 years. Renntiger was established to seek out early stage exploration opportunities with potential for district scale discoveries which could help fill the impending supply gap faced by global copper and gold producers. The Company's current focus is expected to be on copper and gold opportunities in the western United States, with the Company's current assets located solely in the state of Nevada. The western United States features mining friendly jurisdictions with well developed infrastructure favourable for cost-effective exploration, globally significant copper and gold resources and numerous profitable mining operations. VR Resources will focus on enhancing shareholder value through the identification, exploration and development of its 100% owned property assets in this highly prospective region. Refer to the Company's filing statement dated March 16, 2017 available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) for further information (the "Filing Statement").

Exploration has been ongoing at the Company's Bonita copper-gold and Danbo gold properties over recent months, with first pass drilling planned for the Bonita property in 2017. The Company is well financed for its core, two-year exploration strategy, including the ongoing evaluation of new opportunities.

Transaction Details

As previously announced on December 9, 2016, January 5, 2017, February 9, 2017 and March 16, 2017, the Qualifying Transaction involved the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Renntiger in exchange for common shares of the Company by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), in concert with the concurrent Financing. In consideration of the Renntiger shares, including Renntiger shares issued under the Financing, VR Resources issued an aggregate of 33,305,225 common shares to the former securityholders of Renntiger, and assumed 7,357,848 warrants and 1,616,666 stock options.

As part of the Qualifying Transaction, VR Resources effected a number of corporate transactions as outlined in the Filing Statement. The 6,300,000 shares of VR Resources, outstanding prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction, have been consolidated on a 3 (old) to 1 (new) basis such that they represent, post closing, 2,100,000 shares of VR Resources. The Company also continued from Alberta to British Columbia, and changed its name from Roll-up Capital Corp. to VR Resources Ltd.

Concurrent with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, VR Resources also issued an aggregate of 1,740,000 stock options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company, including 50,000 stock options to the Canadian Cancer Society. The options have an exercise price of $0.30, and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

As a result of the foregoing, VR Resources has an aggregate of 35,405,225 common shares outstanding, 7,357,848 warrants and 3,616,666 stock options (inclusive of compensation options issued to GMP Securities L.P. and PI Financial Corp. in connection with the Financing).
