TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 8, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Metallum Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRV) ("Metallum" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement for a best efforts private placement financing (the "Brokered Private Placement") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") with a syndicate of agents led by Cormark Securities Inc., and including Dundee Securities Ltd. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"), for gross proceeds of up to US$5,000,000. The Agents have been granted the option (the "Agents' Option"), exercisable up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Brokered Private Placement, to offer additional Subscription Receipts representing additional gross proceeds of up to US$2,500,000. Should the Agent's Option be exercised in full, the gross proceeds to the Company will be US$7,500,000.

The Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the financing will be exchangeable or convertible into one common share of the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") to be formed upon completion of the contemplated business combination (the "Transaction") between Metallum and 2315257 Ontario Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, which is the holding company for its operating subsidiary OneUp Games, LLC (collectively, "OneUp"), the details of which were previously announced on the Company's press release dated May 4, 2015.

The Agents will be paid a cash fee equal to 6.0% (the "Cash Commission") of the proceeds realized by the Company in respect of the Brokered Private Placement and the Company will issue to the Agents an option (the "Compensation Option"), which will terminate twenty-four months from the closing date of the Brokered Private Placement, to purchase that number of shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Shares") equal to 6.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued in the Brokered Private Placement at the issue price.

The issue price (the "Issue Price") will be determined by the Company and the Agents in the context of the market but subject to mutual agreement between the Company and the Agents and to be commensurate with an equity valuation for the Resulting Issuer of not less than US$70 million (the "Pre-Money Valuation") prior to the Brokered Private Placement and the Non-brokered Private Placement (as defined below). Prior to the Escrow Release Date (as defined below), the pro-forma shares outstanding of the Resulting Issuer will be consolidated up to a one for ten (1:10) basis (the "Share Consolidation"). The Issue Price will be based on the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to the Share Consolidation.

The net proceeds from the Brokered Private Placement will be held in escrow and will be released from escrow to the Resulting Issuer no later than September 30, 2015 (the "Escrow Release Date") upon the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction, including but not limited to, OneUp and Metallum entering into a definitive agreement in respect to the Transaction on or before June 30, 2015 and the completion of a private placement financing by OneUp for minimum gross proceeds of not less than US$3,000,000, with such condition to be satisfied should the aggregate gross proceeds from the Brokered Private Placement and the Non-brokered Private Placement (as defined below) exceed US$3,000,000.

Concurrent with the Brokered Private Placement, OneUp is conducting a non-brokered private placement (the "Non-brokered Private Placement") of units (the "Units") for gross proceeds of up to US$2,500,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for a period of twenty-four months from the closing date. The issue price of the Unit will be commensurate with the Pre-Money Valuation for the Brokered Private Placement. Any gross proceeds raised under the Non-Brokered Private Placement will be subject to a finder's fee equivalent to the Cash Commission and Compensation Option payable under the Brokered Private Placement. Net proceeds from this Non-brokered Private Placement will not be subject to the escrow provisions applicable to the Brokered Private Placement.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular 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. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

As soon as the due diligence process is completed and the negotiations regarding the conclusion of a definitive agreement have been finalized, a more detailed press release will be issued describing the terms of the proposed Transaction and its related conditions.
