Serengeti Announces $700,000 Loan Financing

September 4, 2019

Vancouver, B.C., September 4, 2019. Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") announces that it intends to conduct a convertible loan financing (“Loan”) for up to CAD $700,000.00 with various private investors (“Lenders”).  The Loan will bear interest at the rate of 1% per month from closing of the Loan financing (“Closing”), calculated monthly and payable quarterly, with no compounding of interest.

Security for the Loan will be a Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (“METC”) refund due to Kwanika Copper Corp. (“KCC”), related to a June 7, 2019 filing with the Canada Revenue Agency for $1,082,286, regarding expenditures on KCC’s Kwanika Property (“Kwanika”) in 2018.  Kwanika is controlled by KCC, a private company jointly owned by Serengeti Resources Inc. (65%) and Posco International Corp. (35%).  KCC is contractually obliged to turn over any METC recovered on the initial $7 million of expenditures on the Kwanika Property to Serengeti.

Repayment of the Loan shall be on or at any time before the maturity date, which is the earlier of 18 months following closing of the Loan financing or 10 business days following the receipt by the Company of the METC refund.  If the Loan is repaid prior to 6 months from Closing, the Company will pay an early repayment fee of 6 months interest on the principal amounts advanced, less any interest payments made prior to the date of repayment. 

The Lenders have the right to convert all or any portion of their principal amount into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.32 per share, by delivering a completed conversion notice to the Company, subject to acceleration provisions.  Interest payable to the Lenders shall not be convertible into common shares.  If the closing market price of the Company’s shares is greater than 2 times the conversion price per common share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days after 4 months plus 1 day from Closing, then the Company may deliver an acceleration notice to the Lenders, notifying them that their conversion right must be exercised within 30 calendar days from the date of the acceleration notice, otherwise their conversion right will expire on the 30th calendar day after the date of the acceleration notice.

Proceeds from the Loan financing will be used to cover the Company’s share of current expenditures for the Kwanika PFS and for general corporate purposes.  The Loan financing is expected to close on or about September 13th, 2019.  Completion of the Loan financing is subject to receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.  All common shares issued pursuant to this Loan financing will be subject to a four month hold period from Closing.  The Loan financing is not subject to any minimum aggregate investment and there are no fees or commissions payable in connection with the Loan financing.
