Phoenix Metals Corporation: Acquistion of F4 Environmental/Change of Business, $0.20 Private Placement Financing

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 23, 2016) - Phoenix Metals Corporation ("Phoenix" or the "Company") (NEX:PHC.H) is pleased to announce that pursuant to a legally binding letter of intent ("LOI") dated June 17, 2016 it has acquired, through an assignment agreement with Nexvu Capital Corp. dated June 17, 2016, an option to purchase F4 Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("F4") from its parent company F4 Environmental Inc. (the "Vendor"). F4 has acquired from the Vendor a perpetual exclusive worldwide license (the "Technology License") to use, license and exploit certain systems, formulas and processes for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination (the "Technology"). The Technology License exclusivity is subject to a third party license covering Alberta and northern British Columbia but which is in the process of being terminated by the Vendor. Upon the Company completing the purchase price for F4, the Technology will be transferred to F4 from the Vendor for the sum of $1.00. Upon the Company completing the acquisition of F4, it will also have the option of purchasing the Vendor (being the parent company of F4) for $1.00. In addition, the Company has acquired the right to purchase 80% of the issued shares (the "AlbertaCo Shares") of 722139 Alberta Limited ("AlbertaCo"), an affiliated company to the Vendor doing business as "Teamwork Distributing". Marlin Rudolph, the founder of the Vendor and F4, through 1236969 Alberta Ltd. owns AlbertaCo and is developing and has developed various technologies in AlbertaCo which are complimentary to the Technology. As a result of the right to acquire F4, the Vendor, and the right to acquire the AlbertaCo Shares, the Company will be submitting an application to the TSX-Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for a change of business ("COB").

F4 and the Technology

Founded in 2010, F4 focused on early research and development activities into the formulation of high performance, cost effective industrial degreasers that respect the health and safety of the user. Key discoveries in both the realm of chemistry and biologics led to the development of Bio-Reclaim™. Bio-Reclaim™ contains highly purified, naturally occurring bacteria with demonstrated ability to mineralize petroleum hydrocarbons and toxic organics to carbon dioxide and water. It also contains dynamic surfactant chemistry to aid in delivery of the biologics to difficult pockets of contamination in soils. The development of Bio-Reclaim™ now allows forward thinking organizations to completely eliminate environmental and financial liabilities associated with contaminated sites. This is different from landfills which only delay potential liability and future expense.

As stewards of the environment, F4 is dedicated to providing proactive solutions to aid in the removal of hydrocarbon contaminants from waste streams with some of the most efficient, environmentally safe and cost effective methods available.

Some of F4's products and services include onsite remediation of contaminated soil and water through the use of innovative biologics and chemistry (in addition to advanced bioremediation processes which result in completion timelines significantly shorter than previously experienced by the industry).

A few of the applications F4's products and services are used for include; oil spills/leaks (land and/or water), pipeline breaks, groundwater, abandoned oil well sites, bulk fuel station sites, underground storage tank leaks, commercial and private property remediation and heavy equipment/fleet/automotive maintenance facilities.

F4 is able to complete a one-time application of the product on site thereby eliminating the need to re-apply, manipulate or transport the contaminated soil off site for disposal and replacement with clean soil. The fact that F4 is able to safely and efficiently clean the soil on site in such a short time period enables F4 to offer substantial cost savings to the landowner and the lowest "Carbon Footprint" in the industry while also eliminating the liability of the contaminated soil.

The Technology is endorsed by Environment Canada and fully accredited with the US Environmental Protection Agency.

F4 has been duly incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada. The Vendor is wholly owned by Marlin Rudolph of Alberta, Canada.

The Acquisition of F4 and the Vendor

The consideration to be paid by the Company for F4 is as follows: (i) $1.5 million payable to the Vendor of which $500,000 ("First Payment") shall be paid on the closing (the "Closing") from an initial financing to be completed by the Company at a price of no less than $0.20 per share (the "Initial Financing") and $1 million ("Second Payment") which shall be paid in full no later than 9 month following the Closing from funds generated from a second financing; and (ii) the issuance to the Vendor of 5.5 million common shares of the Company on Closing of the initial financing at a minimum deemed price of $0.20 per common share. At the time of the First Payment and share issuance to the Vendor the Company will, from the proceeds of the initial financing, advance $1 million to the Vendor through the purchase of preferred shares or such other mechanism that the parties agree will recognize priority payback to the Company, such funds to be used for F4 operations subject to an agreed use of proceeds budget. Starting on the second anniversary of the First payment the Company will pay to the Vendor four annual royalty payments of $250,000 (the "Royalty Payments"). Upon completion of the Royalty Payments the Technology will be transferred to F4 for $1.00. At that time upon payment of the $1.00 the shares of the Vendor will also be transferred to the Company.

The Acquisition of the AlbertaCo Shares

Marlin Rudolph, the founder of the Vendor and F4, has also developed and is in the process of developing various technologies and inventions in AlbertaCo (dba "Teamwork Distributing"), a wholly owned company of Mr. Rudolph. The Company has acquired the right to purchase 80% of the issued shares of AlbertaCo for $200,000 payable by July 1, 2017 (the "AlbertaCo Option").
