MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwired – Aug. 1, 2017) – Bitumen Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTM.H) (“Bitumen“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the “Agreement“) with Goliath Resources Limited, a corporation existing under the provincial laws of Ontario (“Goliath“), which outlines the terms and conditions pursuant to which Bitumen and Goliath will complete the transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of Bitumen by the shareholders of Goliath (the “Transaction“). The Agreement was negotiated at arm’s length and is effective as of August 1, 2017.

The Transaction is subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).

Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement 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.
