Arizona Tribune - TRANSITION.INC Completes Non-Brokered Private Placement of Flow-Through Units

Not for Distribution to U.S. News Wire Services or Dissemination in the United States

Clean Energy Transition Inc. (TSXV:TRAN) ("transition.inc" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of a non-brokered private placement of Flow-Through Units ("FT Units"), whereby it issued 5,312,500 FT Units at a price of $0.08 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $425,000 (the "Offering").

Under the Offering, each FT Unit consisted of one flow-through common share ("FT Share") as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.12 for a period of thirty-six months following the date of issuance. The Warrants and the underlying Warrant Shares will not qualify as "flow-through shares" under the Tax Act.

Closing of the Offering is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and all of the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one-day statutory hold period, along with a 15-month contractual hold period from the date of issuance. The Company did not pay any finder's fees in cash or securities under the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Company will use the aggregate gross proceeds from the FT Shares underlying the FT Units for "Canadian exploration expenses" that are "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act).

The issuance of 375,000 FT Units, in aggregate, to Sean Samson, President, CEO, and a director of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI61-101"). Pursuant to Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements, respectively, as neither the fair market value of the FT Units nor the consideration for such FT Units, insofar as it involves the insider, exceeds 25 percent of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities have not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
