NR 2025-05
AURANIA TO EXTEND TERM OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED WARRANTS
Toronto, Ontario, February 20, 2025 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU; OTCQB: AUIAF;
Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to extend the exercise period
for a total of 1,996,653 of its unlisted common share purchase warrants, 1,586,653 of which are currently
set to expire on March 28, 2025, and 410,000 on March 30, 2025, all of which are exercisable for a common
share of Aurania (a “Share”) at $1.25 per Share (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company proposes to
extend the Warrants one year from their current expiry date to March 28, 2026 , and March 30, 2026,
respectively (the “Extension”). All other terms and conditions of the Warrants remain unchanged. The
Warrant extension is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Warrants were originally issued pursuant to a non- brokered private placement that closed in two
tranches: 1,586,653 Warrants were issued in the first tranche on March 28, 2022 (the “First Tranche”) and
410,000 Warrants were issued in the second tranche on March 30, 2022 (the “Second Tranche”) . None of
the Warrants have been exercised. At the time of issuance, t hese Warrants had expiry dates of March 28,
2024 and March 30, 2024 respectively and they were extended by one year (see press release dated January
29, 2024).
Dr. Keith Barron, the Chief Executive Officer, director, promoter, and a significant shareholder of the
Company participated in the First Tranche (subscribing through Bambazonke Holdings Ltd ., a wholly -
owned company of Dr. Barron) and accordingly was issued 571,428 of the Warrants, of which, Dr. Barron
currently still holds (the “Insider Warrants”). Dr. Barron’s ownership of the Insider Warrants renders the
Extension a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection
of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61- 101”). However, the Extension is exempt
from the requirements of Part 5 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Section 5.1(k) of MI 61-101.
The Extension was approved by the independent members of the board of directors of the Company, being
all directors other than Dr. Barron, who abstained due to his ownership of the Insider Warrants. No special
committee was established in connection with the Extension, and no materially contrary view or abstention
was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.
For further details concerning the original issuance and previous extension of the Warrants, please see the
Company’s news releases dated March 28, 2022, March 30, 2022, and January 29, 2024.
