Centurion Signs Amending Agreement to Create Cannabis Spin-Out and Will Apply for a Resumption of Trading as a Mineral Exploration Issuer

Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTN) ("Centurion", or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has executed an Amending Agreement (to its amalgamation agreement dated March 3, 2022 with HAI Beverages Inc. ("HAI"), and Thani Ltd. (dba "CannaEden") (the "Amalgamation Agreement"), whereby Centurion will:

A) Incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary ("SubCo") and assign all Centurion cannabis-related assets (the "CannaAssets") and select liabilities to SubCo;
B) SubCo shares held by Centurion will be distributed to the Centurion shareholders;
C) the acquisitions of HAI and CannaEden will be completed by SubCo (thereafter "AmalCo"); and
D) AmalCo will continue the business of HAI and CannaEden, initially as a non-listed reporting issuer, with the intention to target a go-public event H2-2022, or H1- 2023.

Centurion intends to immediately apply to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") for a resumption of trading as a mineral exploration issuer.

For background, the Company strongly believes in the potential value being developed by HAI and CannaEden, and while each group wishes to convert this potential into a commercially successfully business, a number of factors and required steps have become clear:

1) Centurion, HAI, and CannaEden (individually a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") recognize the cannabis sector continues to evolve, and investor interest in the sector has changed considerably;
2) Since entering into the Amalgamation Agreement with HAI and CannaEden, the Parties have gained further understanding of the path required to achieve HAI's initial business objectives;
3) The Parties have agreed to modify the Centurion-HAI transaction enabling HAI to execute its revised business plan, finance the business of HAI, and commercialize an initial product line using SubCo as an alternative to the joint venture partnerships initially contemplated by the Parties;
4) The Parties also agree that HAI's intent to seek liquidity for its securityholders through the Canadian capital markets will require additional time, and should be completed when HAI is able to demonstrate its operational business plan, and market conditions are more favourable for cannabis issuers; and
5) Recognising the foregoing Centurion has developed a plan that allows its shareholders to participate through SubCo in the HAI CannaEden transaction while providing liquidity to its existing shareholders and continuing its mineral exploration business.

CTN-HAI Amending Agreement Summary

The Parties have agreed to the following terms (the "Transaction"), and are currently proceeding to ensure the Company is positioned to apply for a resumption of trading as soon as reasonably possible:

A) Centurion will incorporate SubCo solely for the purpose of effecting the assignment of the Amalgamation Agreement and the CannaAssets in exchange for 16,819,737 shares of SubCo.
B) CannaAssets assigned, will include the option agreements to acquire ArgenCanna S.A. in Argentina; CannLabs S.A.
in Paraguay; and the definitive agreement to acquire CannaEden in Uruguay.
C) Centurion will assign up to CA$171,000 (plus accrued interest) in cannabis-related payables to SubCo.
D) Centurion intends to distribute the 16,819,737 shares of SubCo to current shareholders of Centurion on a pro rata
basis.
E) SubCo will complete an amalgamation transaction with HAI by issuing such number of SubCo shares that equal the number of shares outstanding in HAI following HAI shareholder approval of the transaction. The transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of SubCo and upon completion will be renamed and continue the business of HAI ("AmalCo").
F) Amalco will appoint 6 Directors, with HAI having the right to nominate 4 Directors and Centurion having the right to nominate 2. Centurion's initial Directors are anticipated to be David Tafel and Jeremy Wright.
G) The Parties intend to complete one or more equity financing transactions of up to US$5 million targeted at approximately US$0.35 per share and closing within H1-2022.
H) Centurion will retain all Mineral Exploration related Assets and Liabilities and will proceed to complete all necessary requirements in order to apply to the TSX-V for a resumption of trading as a mineral exploration issuer.

The Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary Board, shareholder and any regulatory approvals.

Cannabis Market Flourishes Amid Global Legalization, Driving Concerns About Road Safety

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

Over the past decade, the cannabis market has undergone significant expansion, driven largely by a wave of legalization efforts across the United States and other parts of the world. As state and national governments reassess their legal stance on cannabis, both for medical and recreational use, the industry has seen a surge in legitimacy and economic interest. In the United States, a majority of states have legalized cannabis in some form, reflecting a shift in public opinion and an acknowledgement of the potential medical benefits and revenue generation opportunities. Globally, countries like Canada, Uruguay, and several European nations have moved towards more liberal cannabis policies, further propelling the market's growth. The financial implications of these legalization efforts are substantial and continue to evolve. According to a report by Grand View Research, the global legal cannabis market size was valued at USD 13.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5% from 2022 to 2030.
