V.YEG | November 4, 2021

Edmonton, Alberta – TheNewswire – November 4, 2021 – Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (“YEG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:YEG) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into purchase contracts dated August 27, 2021 and September 29, 2021, subject to standard terms and conditions, with respect to the acquisition of several multi-family rental properties in the vibrant interior and northern regions of British Columbia (B.C.)

The Company has completed extensive market research on these regions, and its property acquisition team has embarked recently on two scouting trips to identify new acquisition opportunities. The Company is currently conducting thorough due diligence on these properties located in the rapidly growing cities of Fort St. John and Penticton, B.C.

Ben Lui, President and CEO of Yorkton remarked “Further to our successful closing of our acquisitions in Kelowna and Langford (Victoria) B.C. this summer, we are continuing acquisitions consistent with our secure, aggressive growth business model. With the strong belief in the growing economies in the interior and northern B.C. regions, we feel that these properties that we have identified will complement our current portfolio with strong cash flows and upside growth potential, as we expect to deliver positive financial results to our shareholders.”

Fort St. John is the second-largest city in northern B.C. and has a diversified economy with oil and gas, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing, mining operation and boasts the highest average household income in B.C. It is also one of the fastest growing cities in B.C. with abundant employment opportunities.

Fort St. John is the hub for natural gas extraction in northern B.C., which has one of the largest reserves of natural gas in the world and is the principal long-term beneficiary of the $40 billion LNG Canada liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. It is also the major staging area for the TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline that will be run 670 kilometres from the northern gas fields to the LNG Canada terminal at Kitimat for LNG shipment to Asian markets.

Penticton B.C. is a vibrant waterfront city and is the business hub of the Okanagan-Similkameen region with more than 3,000 businesses serving 100,000 people throughout the region. Known for world-class wineries, agriculture, hospitality and increasingly, a hub for tech entrepreneurs. Its resilient business economy includes a solid foundation of mature, multi-generational businesses as well as start-ups and newly relocated companies.

The Company will provide further press releases related to the purchase contracts as they become unconditional and subsequent to the closings.
