(TSXV:CLVR.P) ('Clover Leaf' or the 'Company') announces that it has agreed to extend the outside date of completion of its qualifying transaction (the 'Transaction') with North Shore Energy Metals Ltd. ('North Shore Energy'), originally announced in the Company's press release of December 23, 2022, from April 30, 2023 to June 30, 2023.

The Credit Facility remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Credit Facility and Transaction remains subject to conditions, including but not limited to, TSXV acceptance and, if applicable pursuant to TSXV requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
