Pursuant to an agreement entered into with Orford Resources Inc. ("Orford") on August 24, 2020, VVC acquired Orford's share of the Kaity Property (the "Property") in Mexico. VVC is now the sole beneficial owner of the Property which is held in its Mexican subsidiary. The Property is the host of the Gloria Copper Project.

This transaction is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and must close by December 31, 2023. The TSXV is currently reviewing the application.
