Vancouver, BC / February 4, 2022 – NORTEC MINERALS CORP. (the “Company” or “Nortec”)
(TSXV: NVT)
announces that further to its news release of November 17, 2021, the Company has entered into revised debt settlement agreements with creditors (the “Creditors”) to settle outstanding debt of the Company (the “Debt Settlement”). The Company settled an aggregate of CAD$387,416.75 in debt (the “Debt”) with the Creditors by exchanging CAD$293,855.25 of debt for common shares of the Company (the “Debt Shares”). The remaining CAD$93,561.50 of the Debt will be forgiven. In settlement of the Debt, the Company will issue 2,835,000 Debt Shares to a Creditor who is an arm’s-length services provider at a deemed price of CAD$0.02 per Debt Share and 4,743,105 Debt Shares to Creditors who are related parties at a deemed price of CAD$0.05 per Debt Share.

In accordance with applicable securities laws, all securities issued under the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance. Closing of the Debt Settlement is subject to certain conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX-V. The issuance of Debt Shares will not result in the creation of a new Control Person, as that term is defined under the policies of the TSXV.

The issuance of certain of the Debt Shares to directors and officers of the Company pursuant to the Debt
Settlement will each be considered a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company will rely upon exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, with respect to the issuance of the Debt Shares to the directors and officers.
