MAGNA MINING INC. CLOSES QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

Toronto, Ontario, May 5, 2021 – Magna Mining Inc. (formerly CT Developers Ltd.) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, effective May 4, 2021, it has completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Magna Mining Corp. (“Magna”), which is intended to constitute the Company’s qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) as defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

Final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction will occur upon the issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin (the “Bulletin”) by the Exchange, following which the Company will be classified as a Tier 1 Mining Issuer, trading under the symbol “NICU”. Subject to such final approval, trading of the Company’s common shares (each, a “Share”) on the Exchange is expected to commence on or about May 11, 2021. The Company will issue a news release once the Exchange issues the Bulletin and confirms the listing date.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction (the “Closing”), the Company effected a consolidation of its outstanding Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Share for each four pre-consolidation Shares (the “Consolidation”), and changed its name from “CT Developers Ltd.” to “Magna Mining Inc.” (the “Name Change”). The Consolidation and the Name Change, among other matters, were approved by the shareholders of the Company at an annual and special meeting of shareholders held on March 1, 2021.

The Qualifying Transaction was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Magna amalgamated with 2813443 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and continued as an amalgamated corporation under the name “Magna Mining (Canada) Corp.” (“Amalco”), and (ii) all of the outstanding common shares of Magna (each, a “Magna Share”) were exchanged for an aggregate of 61,832,817 post-Consolidation Shares (including the Shares issued on conversion of the Magna subscription receipts as described below) on the basis of 1.625 Shares for each Magna Share (the “Exchange Ratio”), and the convertible securities of Magna were replaced with convertible securities of the Company.

In connection with the Closing, all subscription receipts issued by Magna on February 12, 2021 in connection with its $7 million brokered private placement, which was conducted through a syndicate of agents led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., and including Paradigm Capital Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc. and Eight Capital (the “Concurrent Financing”), were automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration, into an aggregate of 17,763,768 post-Consolidation Shares and 8,881,884 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each a “Warrant”) based on the Exchange Ratio. Each Warrant is exercisable into one Share at a price of $0.615 per Share for a period of 18 months following the Closing, subject to adjustment in certain events and the right of the Company to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants, if, at any time following the date that is four months and one day following the closing of the Concurrent Financing, the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares for any 10 consecutive trading days is greater than $0.92 per Share. Proceeds from the Concurrent Financing have been released from escrow to the Company.

Additional information with respect to the Qualifying Transaction and the business of the Company as a result of the Closing is available in the Company’s filing statement dated March 31, 2021 (the “Filing Statement”), which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
