Firestone Ventures Announces Closing of Transaction to Sell Subsidiary Shares

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2021) - Firestone Ventures (TSXV: FV.H) (FSE: F5V) ("Firestone" or the "Company") announces today it has completed its transaction (the "Transaction") as previously announced on July 28, 2021, to sell the shares of Fuegoestrella, Sociedad Anonima ("FESA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for US$500,000 in cash, to Esperanza Resources Limited ("Esperanza"), a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom. Esperanza is an arm's length party to the Company and no finder's fees will be paid in connection with the Transaction.

After much consideration, Management determined that the fair value of the assets and liabilities of FESA would likely be more recoverable through their divestiture rather than by continuing operations. On September 15, 2021, by special resolution, Firestone shareholders approved the sale of the FESA shares, which represented substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Transaction to investigate and pursue new business opportunities.
