The Meeting will be held at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, 595 Burrard Street, Suite 2600, Vancouver, BC V7X 1L3 on October 25, 2022, commencing at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time). Holders of Constantine Shares (the "Shareholders"), holders of stock options of Constantine (the "Optionholders" and, together with the Shareholders, the "Securityholders"), and their duly appointed proxyholders in attendance will have the opportunity to participate in the Meeting.

On September 21, 2022, Constantine obtained an interim order (the "Interim Order") from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") authorizing the holding of the Meeting and matters relating to the conduct of the Meeting. At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed acceptable, pass special resolutions (the "Arrangement Resolutions") approving an arrangement with American Pacific pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") under section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). As announced in APM and Constantine's joint press release of August 15, 2022, the Transaction will be carried out pursuant to the terms of an arrangement agreement dated August 14, 2022, between Constantine and American Pacific (the "Arrangement Agreement") and the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. As a result of the Plan of Arrangement, Constantine will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Pacific.

The Meeting Materials contain important information regarding the Transaction, how Securityholders can participate and vote at the Meeting, the background that led to the Arrangement, and the reasons that the special committee of independent directors of Constantine (the "Special Committee") as well as the board of directors of Constantine (the "Board") unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Constantine and is fair to its shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote "FOR" the Arrangement Resolutions. Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, Securityholders of record at the close of business on September 13, 2022 are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the Meeting. Securityholders should carefully review all Meeting Materials as they contain important information concerning the Arrangement and the rights and entitlements of the Securityholders. The Meeting Materials have been filed by Constantine on SEDAR and are available under Constantine's profile at www.sedar.com and on Constantine's website at https://constantinemetals.com/investors/investor-centre/.

Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, to be effective, the Arrangement Resolutions must be approved by at least: (i) 662/3% of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in-person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; (ii) 662/3% of the votes cast by the Securityholders, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (iii) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolutions by the Shareholders present or in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose votes attached to the Constantine Shares held by persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security holders in Special Transactions.

Subject to obtaining approval of the Arrangement Resolutions at the Meeting, and the satisfaction of the other customary conditions to completion of the Transaction, including final approval of the Court, all as more particular described in the Meeting Materials, the Transaction is expected to close on or around October 31, 2022.

Transaction Details

Constantine Shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.881 (the "Exchange Ratio") of a common share of APM for each share of Constantine held (the "Consideration") pursuant to the Arrangement. All outstanding stock options of Constantine will be exchanged for options of APM and all warrants of Constantine will become exercisable to acquire common shares of APM, in amounts and at exercise prices adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary provisions, including non-solicitation, right to match, and fiduciary out provisions, as well as certain representations, covenants and conditions which are customary for a transaction of this nature. The Arrangement Agreement provides for a C$850,000 termination fee payable by Constantine to APM in the event of a superior proposal, and a reduced break fee of $500,000 payable in the event of a no-vote by Constantine Securityholders in certain circumstances. The Transaction is to be completed by way of a court-approved Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including Securityholder approval at the Meeting.

Securities to be issued under the Arrangement to U.S. persons or persons in the United States will be offered and issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities.

Zodiac Gold Terminates Exclusivity Agreement with Mable and Fable Limited to Pursue Multiple Strategic Opportunities and Announces Up To C$500,000 Shareholder-Led Private Placement

Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) ("Zodiac Gold" or the "Company"), a West-African gold exploration company, announces that it has terminated the exclusivity agreement previously entered into with Mable and Fable Limited ("MFL") on September 26, 2024, due to MFL's failure to satisfy their funding obligations under the agreement.

By terminating the exclusivity agreement, the Company is now free to pursue multiple strategic opportunities (including partnerships, joint ventures and financings) that have emerged since the announcement of its recent iron ore discovery. Following that announcement, Zodiac Gold has received substantial interest from multiple parties regarding these high-potential assets. The Company intends to evaluate these opportunities with a view towards identifying how to best leverage its iron ore assets in one or more transactions that will maximize shareholder value. In parallel, Zodiac Gold intends to continue to build on the exploration success of its recently completed Alasala and Arthington drilling programs at its Todi Project.
