• The Transaction has been effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, without court approval, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which, through the amalgamation of a British Columbia subsidiary of Eureka and Kore, Eureka acquired all of the issued and outstanding Kore Shares in exchange for the issuance of 61,360,880 post-Consolidation Eureka Shares and Kore has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer.
• Eureka has changed its name to Kore Mining Ltd. and will resume trading under the symbol "KORE".
• The Company has closed its required concurrent subscription receipt financing (the "Financing"), as further described in the Company's release dated October 22, 2018.

Closing of Concurrent Financing

Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company converted an aggregate of 3,900,000 previously issued subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") (on a post-Consolidation basis) issued pursuant to the Financing for gross proceeds of $1,950,000 into units of the Company (each, a "Unit"). PI Financial Corp. (the "Agent") acted as agent of the Company for the Financing. Each Unit consists of one Eureka Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") until October 30, 2020 at a price of $0.75, subject to acceleration if, following the issuance of the Warrants, the closing price of the Resulting Issuer Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other Canadian stock exchange on which the Resulting Issuer Shares are then principally traded, equals or exceeds $1.00 per Resulting Issuer Share, for a period of ten consecutive trading days during the exercise period, in which case the Resulting Issuer may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 calendar days from the date notice is given by the Resulting Issuer, by way of dissemination of a news release, to the holders of the Warrants.

In connection with the Financing, the Resulting Issuer: (i) paid the Agent a cash commission of $161,500, (ii) issued the Agent an aggregate of 308,000 compensation options, each of which entitles the holder to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.50 per Resulting Issuer Share until October 30, 2020, and (iii) reimbursed the Agent for its reasonable expenses in the amount of $82,597.50 incurred in connection with the Financing.

The proceeds of the Financing are expected to be used for costs incurred in connection with the Transaction, the Phase 1 work program with respect to Kore's Long Valley gold project following the Closing, and general working capital purposes. The Resulting Issuer Shares and Warrants issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts are subject to a hold period expiring on February 23, 2019.

MDS Management Ltd., a company controlled by Michael Sweatman, a former officer and director of the Company immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, subscribed for 10,000 Subscription Receipts and 1081646 B.C. Ltd., a company controlled by James Hynes, an incoming officer and director of the Resulting Issuer subscribed for 61,000 Subscription Receipts. The participation in the Financing by each company described in the preceding sentence was a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Resulting Issuer is exempt from the valuation requirement pursuant to Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and from the shareholder approval requirement pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.

Each Debenture Unit entitles the holder thereof to the same terms of those Units offered pursuant to the Financing.

Each of the options will be exercisable into one Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $0.50 per Resulting Issuer Share for a period of five years following the Closing. All of the options vested on the date of grant.
