("First Mining") pursuant to which Treasury will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tamaka Gold Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Mining that owns a 100% interest in the Goldlund Gold Project ("Goldlund"), located adjacent to Treasury's Goliath Gold Project in Northwestern Ontario (the "Transaction").

Closing of the Transaction is scheduled to occur on August 7, 2020 and is subject to satisfaction or waiver of conditions specified in the Agreement and the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and other customary closing conditions.
Share Consolidation
The Company also received shareholder approval to complete its previously announced consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its Common Shares on the basis of three (3) Common Shares for one (1) Common Share. The Consolidation will be effective as at August 11, 2020 and the Common Shares will begin trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX that same day under its new CUSIP No. 894647825 (ISIN CA8946478259). The Company's ticker symbol "TML" will remain the same and "TSRMF" on the OTCQB.
A letter of transmittal (the "Letter") with respect to the Consolidation was mailed to the Company's registered shareholders with the Circular. All registered shareholders will be required to send their certificate(s) representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares, along with a properly executed Letter to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent") in accordance with the instructions provided in the Letter. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for their post-Consolidation positions. The Transfer Agent will forward to each registered shareholder who has sent the properly completed Letter a new Common Share certificate representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the registered shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each Common Share certificate representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
