1. Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman of Olive Resource Capital is a Director of this issuer.
2. Working Capital is calculated as cash, adjusted for management's estimate for known liabilities and is subject to change with future estimates or financial reports.
3. Olive defines Liquid Investments as investments whose position can be liquidated in less than one day's average trading volume for that security.

Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO, and Director stated: "The U.S. dollar continued its appreciation in November, marking a third consecutive monthly advance. Major commodity prices dropped, with copper leading to the downside as Chinese stimulus disappointed market expectations. Major resource equities dropped in sympathy with its commodity references, except for the oil and gas sector which rallied strongly following the results of the U.S. election. At Olive, we remain well deployed into both the larger and the junior resource space, and have begun deploying additional capital into select names that have been adversely affected by tax loss selling."

Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman stated: "Olive's NAVPS, declined modestly by 4.3% in November with the overall sentiment in the resource space. However, it is notable that a combination of timely profit taking, and diversified commodity exposure allowed us to outperform both the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF down 5.7% and the TSXV Materials Index down 6.4%. We plan to use the seasonal weakness in December to add to core positions and perhaps initiate new positions in companies that we have been following closely."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains references to NAV or "net asset value per share" which is a non-GAAP financial measure. NAV is calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at a specific date. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding the Company's performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with GAAP. Existing NAV of the Company is not necessarily predictive of the Company's future performance or the NAV of the Company as at any future date.
