Bitumen Capital Inc. Enters Into Definitive Agreement With Goliath Resources Limited for Qualifying Transaction

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Aug. 1, 2017) - Bitumen Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTM.H) ("Bitumen") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the "Agreement") with Goliath Resources Limited, a corporation existing under the provincial laws of Ontario ("Goliath"), which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which Bitumen and Goliath will complete the transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of Bitumen by the shareholders of Goliath (the "Transaction"). The Agreement was negotiated at arm's length and is effective as of August 1, 2017. Further information regarding the proposed Transaction is contained in Bitumen's press release dated April 28, 2017.

The Transaction is subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Trading in the common shares of Bitumen has been halted. It is unlikely that the common shares of Bitumen will resume trading until the Transaction is completed and approved by the TSXV.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, TSXV acceptance and if applicable pursuant to TSXV requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

The TSXV has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
