ACQUISITION OF MAJORITY STAKE IN BUFFALO COAL

June 14, 2022: Buffalo Coal announces that, on June 14, 2022, Belvedere Resources DMCC (“the Acquiror”)
purchased from Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (the “Seller” and together with the Acquiror, the “Parties”)
347,945,097 Common Shares in the capital of the Issuer. The Acquiror also assumed a US$27 million convertible
loan (the “Loan”) pursuant to a convertible loan agreement between the Seller and the Issuer. The Loan with a
maturity date of 30 June 2023 is optionally convertible by the Acquiror into Common Shares in the capital of the
Issuer at the conversion rate of CA$ 0.0469 per common share. The purchase of the Common Shares and the Loan
are collectively referred to as the “Transaction” in this release. The Transaction took place by private agreement
between the Parties.

The Acquiror purchased the 347,945,097 Common Shares at a price of US$ 0.001552 per Common Share, for an
aggregate purchase price of US$540,000 (C$689,958) and acquired the Loan for US$2,000,000 (C$2,555,400). The
total consideration paid in connection with the Transaction was US$2,540,000 (C$3,245,358) (in each case
determined using the daily average exchange rate of the Bank of Canada, of 1.2777 at June 10, 2022).

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, the Acquiror did not own any Common Shares of the Issuer. After
purchasing the Common Shares and the Loan in connection with the Transaction, the Acquiror owns 82.58 percent
of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer on a partially diluted basis. The number of common
shares to be issued on conversion of the Loan would depend on the prospective exchange rate between US$ and
C$. For illustrative purpose, 735.563 million common shares would be issued on conversion at the daily average
exchange rate of the Bank of Canada, of 1.2777 on June 10, 2022, if the conversion had taken place on that date,
and fully diluted ownership would be 92.88 percent, comprising of 1,083.51 million common shares in total.

The Acquiror has acquired the Common Shares and will acquire the Common Shares underlying the Loan, if
converted on or before the date of maturity of 30 June 2023, for investment purposes with active management
participation. The Acquiror may, depending on price, market conditions or other conditions or factors it considers
relevant from time to time, increase or decrease its beneficial ownership, control or direction over Common
Shares or other securities of the Issuer through market transactions, private agreements or otherwise.
