Valencia and Chelsea Announce $3 Million Financing

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 26, 2015) - Valencia Ventures Inc. (NEX:VVI.H) ("Valencia" or the "Company") announces that the Company and Chelsea Natural Gas Ltd. ("Chelsea") have launched a private placement financing (the "Offering") of a minimum of 7,500,000 and a maximum of 12,500,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of Chelsea at $0.40 per Subscription Receipt in connection with the proposed reverse take-over of Valencia (the "RTO") as announced on March 27, 2015. Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") will act as sole Agent and bookrunner for the Offering.

The Subscription Receipts shall be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into among Valencia, Chelsea, the Agent, and an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"). Each Subscription Receipt shall entitle the holder to receive, without payment of any additional consideration, one unit of Chelsea (a "Unit") upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange of the RTO (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Each Unit shall be comprised of one Class "D" common share (a "Class D Share") of Chelsea and one half (1/2) of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") of Chelsea. The gross proceeds from the Offering of Subscription Receipts hereunder (the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be held in escrow by Equity Financial Trust Company pending satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

Provided that the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied, each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Class D Share of Chelsea at an exercise price of $0.70 at any time up to 18 months from the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied (the "Escrow Release Date"). Upon completion of the RTO, the Class D Shares of Chelsea shall automatically be exchanged for common shares of the resulting issuer on the basis of one new Valencia share for each Class D Share so held without any further action on the part of the holder.

If the common shares of the resulting issuer trade at or above $0.90 for ten (10) consecutive trading days the holder of the Warrant will have twenty days to exercise the warrant after which time the warrant will expire. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not met by October 31, 2015, the Escrowed Proceeds shall be returned to the subscribers.

Chelsea will grant the Agent an option (the "Agent's Option") exercisable at any time up to and including the Closing of the Offering to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15% in Subscription Receipts by giving written notice of the exercise of the Agent's Option, or a part thereof, to Chelsea at any time up to 48 hours prior to Closing of the Offering. The Agent will also receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds and compensation options in an amount equal to 8.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering (the "Compensation Options"). The Compensation Warrants will be converted into Compensation Options on the closing of the RTO, with each Compensation Option exercisable at the Offering Price into one Common Share and one-half of a Warrant for 24 months after the closing of the Offering, subject to the same acceleration provision as the Warrants.

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including receipt of all regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 30, 2015. The proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Valencia and Chelsea will provide further information about the RTO in due course.

Valencia also announces that Fred Leigh has replaced Josh Van Deurzen as interim President and Chief Executive Officer.
