Bessor Announces Closing of $250,000 Private Placement Financing

September 19, 2022 – Vancouver, BC: Bessor Minerals Inc. (NEX:BST.H) (“Bessor” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated September 6, 2022, it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering on September 19, 2022, pursuant to which Bessor issued 5,000,000 common shares in the capital of Bessor (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.05 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000 (the “Private Placement”). All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from September 19, 2022. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for: potential exploration of Bessor’s properties; potential future acquisitions; and general working capital. The Private Placement was completed using available prospectus exemptions under securities laws, including the accredited investor exemption and the close friends, family and business associates exemption.

MI 61-101 and TSXV Policy 5.9 Disclosure

Of the 5,000,000 Common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement, 2,000,000 Common Shares were issued directly or indirectly to Arif Merali, a director of Bessor. Mr. Merali directly acquired 1,000,000 Common Shares, and indirectly acquired 1,000,000 Common Shares as the beneficial holder of shares purchased by 1642192 Alberta Ltd.

Bessor relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the issuance of the Common Shares to the director of Bessor as the Common Shares of Bessor are not listed on a specified market (and the Common Shares are only listed on the TSX Venture Exchange). The Corporation relied on section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the issuance of Common Shares to the director of the Corporation as Bessor is not listed on a specified stock exchange and, at the time the Private Placement was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed pursuant to the Private Placement to such persons, nor the consideration to be received for those securities, will exceed $2,500,000.

No special committee was established in connection with the Private Placement. The Board of Directors of Bessor has unanimously approved the Private Placement and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director in relation to the Private Placement. The material change report to be filed in relation to the closing of the Private Placement will not be not filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Private Placement as contemplated by MI 61-101. Bessor believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the completion of the Private Placement occurred shortly before the issuance of such material change report in relation to the Private Placement.
