LONGUEUIL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 3, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Odyssey Resources Limited ("Odyssey" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ODX.H) is pleased to report that the Company has entered into a revised letter of intent (the "Revised LOI") dated November 24, 2015 with LAI Corp S.A.S. ("LAI") which amends, restates and supersedes the previously announced letter of intent with Green Mountain Inc., the parent company of LAI (see news release issued on September 28, 2015).

Pursuant to the Revised LOI, Odyssey contemplates acquiring all of the shares of LAI from the shareholders of LAI which, following the completion of a reorganization, will be the former shareholders of Green Mountain. In consideration of the acquisition of the LAI shares, the shareholders of LAI will receive, in exchange for each one share of LAI, 0.948 common share of Odyssey on a post consolidation basis (see below Share Consolidation) (the "Transaction").

Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, Odyssey intends to cause LAI to complete the acquisition of Compania Minera Corire S.A.C. ("Corire"), the entity that owns the Ishihuinca gold tailings project and processing plant in Southern Peru (the "Ishihuinca Project"). LAI and Corire have entered into a share purchase agreement on March 27, 2015. The completion of the acquisition of Corire by LAI is subject to LAI making a payment of US2.85 million to the shareholders of Corire followed by the payment of a balance of purchase price of US$1 million owed by Corire to Buenaventura Mining Company ("Buenaventura").

The Transaction is subject to Odyssey completing a financing (the "Financing"), raising a minimum of US$7.5 million to finance the acquisition and development of the Ishihuinca project. The Transaction is also subject to the parties satisfying various conditions including completion of due diligence, execution of a definitive agreement, and Odyssey having received a title opinion. The Transaction constitutes a reverse takeover under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and is subject to approval of the TSXV and shareholders' approval. The parties anticipate closing the Transaction in February 2016 and the Revised LOI provides exclusivity to Odyssey until February 26, 2016.

Bridge Loan

In connection with the Revised LOI, Odyssey has advanced to LAI US$200,000 under a bridge financing agreement. The advance will be used by LAI for a payment to Corire for the grant of an extension of the time to close the acquisition, for environmental work and studies on the Ishihuinca Project, and for general and administrative expenses.

The Ishihuinca Project

The Ishihuinca Project consists of a gold processing facility, tailings from previous mining operations, and nearby mining concessions covering 1061 hectares. The Ishihuinca mine and processing plant operated from 1979 to 2012 through a subsidiary of the Buenaventura. Several investigations of the tailings since 2008 have been conducted in order to test the feasibility of reprocessing these tailings for gold and copper recovery. Two distinct areas of tailings have been identified: the CIL tailings and the Flotation tailings. Approximately 372,000 tonnes of high grade CIL tailings grading better than 4g/t Au have been identified in the historical resources, as well as 877,000 tonnes of Flotation tailings grading 1.86 g/t Au. Grade and tonnage estimates are considered historical since they are derived from investigations by Buenaventura in 2008 that included a 139 drill hole program and measurements of dry bulk density of both types of tailings.

The resources reported herein are provided as historical data only. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and Odyssey is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Steven Park, C.P.G. (AIPG) is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 has reviewed the technical disclosure with respect to the Ishihuinca Project contained in this press release. Mr. Park is an independent consultant.

Share Consolidation

The Company also announces that its shareholders have passed a special resolution approving the consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for each ten (10) pre-consolidation shares currently issued and outstanding, at the special meeting held on November 27, 2015. The resolution gives the Board of directors authority to implement the share consolidation at any time. The Board intends to implement the share consolidation prior to the closing of the acquisition of LAI, subject to TSX-V approval.
