NEWS RELEASE
EASTERN PLATINUM LIMITED ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT WITH ALPHAGLOBAL

June 26, 2020, Vancouver, British Columbia – Eastern Platinum Limited (“Eastplats” or the “Company”)
today announced that the Company has reached a settlement agreement with AlphaGlobal Capital Inc.
(“AlphaGlobal”) to dismiss all claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and to release the Company
from any and all claims that AlphaGlobal may have against the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Claims”),
in exchange for the issuance of 8,000,000 common shares of the Company (each a “Common Share”) at
a deemed subscription price of $0.235 CDN (CDN$1,880,000), 6,000,000 common share purchase warrants
exercisable at $0.24 CDN each entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Company for a
period of two years (the “Warrants”), and the payment of South African Rand (“ZAR”) 9,000,000
(ZAR5,000,000 on closing and ZAR1,000,000 each quarter end starting on September 30, 2020)
(CDN$720,000) (the “Settlement Transaction”).

The Settlement Transaction received conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).
The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be
subject to a hold period of four months and a day as of the date of issuance in accordance with applicable
securities laws.

The Claims against the Company were first initiated by commencement of litigation in 2017 in South Africa
and continued by litigation in 2018 in the British Virgin Islands in relation to the payment of amounts
alleged to be owing under a 2007 promissory note entered into by the Company and AlphaGlobal.
AlphaGlobal sought payment of the amount of ZAR 30,797,464 (CDN$2,463,797) plus an amount that
AlphaGlobal claimed was owing for default interest from 2007, for an estimated total claim in excess of
ZAR 170,000,000 (CDN$13,600,000). The Settlement Transaction will settle all matters related to the
Claims and any litigation outstanding between the parties.

Diana Hu the CEO of Eastplats stated “this settlement closes a long-standing chapter and eliminates a
significant contingency for the Company, created years ago by the previous management of the Company.”
Ms. Hu further added “current management continues to focus on operations of the Retreatment Project (as
defined below) and other potential projects and opportunities to create value for all stakeholders.”
