CORRECTION: Brookmount Exploration Announces Potential Acquisition of Principal Solar, Inc

This release corrects the ticker symbol for Principal Solar, Inc.

RENO, NV / ACCESS Newswire / May 23, 2025 / Brookmount Explorations, Inc. (OTC PINK:BMXI), a gold exploration and production company, is pleased to announce that Brookmount has today executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") for the potential acquisition of a controlling interest in Principal Solar, Inc. (OTC:PSWW).

Under the terms of the MoU, Brookmount will initially acquire, for cash and shares, a controlling interest in Principal Solar. Following this acquisition, Brookmount's North American asset portfolio, comprising three gold development properties in the Tintina Gold Belt, will be acquired by Principal Solar. Thereafter, the parties plan to distribute Brookmounts' shares in Principal Solar to Brookmount shareholders in the form of a special dividend to be calculated on a pro-rated basis for the Brookmount shares owned. At the conclusion of the transaction, it is anticipated that Brookmount shareholders will retain an 80% interest and Principal Solar shareholders a 20% interest in the consolidated group.

The transaction will be structured such that Brookmount will retain control of the North American properties and ownership going forward will be evenly distributed between Brookmount shareholders.

The management of Brookmount and Principal Solar have been involved in discussions concerning the proposed transaction since last year and respective managements believe that the transaction proposed is in the best interests of the shareholders of both companies. By providing an independent investment platform for Brookmount's North American assets, Brookmount intends to will create additional financial opportunities for further development of the assets leading up to and beyond basic production. Following completion of the potential transaction, Principal Solar, (to be renamed "North American Gold") intends to pursue an underwritten public offering of its shares and simultaneous listing.

In announcing the transaction CEO of Brookmount, Nils Ollquist commented: "We are incredibly pleased that the efforts of our team and that of Rick Toussaint, CEO of Principal Solar, are progressing towards the conclusion of a seminal transaction for our collective shareholders. We believe that restructuring our North American assets as a separate business in this manner will enhance their collective value from a balance sheet perspective. We believe that it will also significantly improve access to development, production and larger stakeholders. Our Indonesian assets, having recently been brought under direct management control, will continue to provide Brookmount with valuable, increasing cash flow to facilitate continued growth and development of its Asian gold production assets. By utilizing two different publicly traded companies, one for the operating mines in Indonesia and one for the pre-production assets in the lucrative Tintina Gold Belt, the Company believes it will maximize shareholder value. We are working diligently toward a definitive agreement with Principal Solar and will make further announcements as progress is achieved."
