Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 15, 2020) – Skyledger Tech Corp. (CSE: SKYL) (the “Company” or “Skyledger“) announces that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI“) dated October 15, 2020 with 18526 Yukon Inc. (the “Vendor“), an arm’s length party, which sets out the general terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor (the “Target“) from the Vendor in exchange for the Consideration Shares and the Cash Payments, as further detailed below (the “Transaction“). The Target will own the Einarson (as to 70% with the balance owned by a third party), Rogue, Tosh, Cliff, Rainbow and Cynthia claims located in the Yukon (the “Properties“).

If completed, the Transaction will constitute a “fundamental change” of Skyledger pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“).

The resulting issuer that will exist upon completion of the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“) will continue to operate under the name Snowline Gold Corp.

The final structure of the Transaction will be determined by the parties following receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction and the Concurrent Private Placement (defined below) (the “Closing“), it is expected that current shareholders of Skyledger will hold approximately 37% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer, current shareholders of 18526 will hold approximately 32% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer and new shareholders as a result of the private placement financings described below under “Financings” will hold approximately 31% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer.
