AZARGA METALS CLOSES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
February 11, 2026 – Vancouver, B.C. – AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the
“Company”) (TSX-V:AZR) is pleased to announce that on February 10, 2026, the Company has
closed its non-brokered private placement, as previously announced on January 12, 2026 (the
“Private Placement”), for gross proceeds of $1,000,000, through the issuance of 10,000,000
units.
The Private Placement consisted of units of the Company (the “ Units”) at a price of $0.10 per
Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (each a “Share”) of the Company and one-half of
one share purchase warrant (each whole share purchase warrant, a “ Warrant”). Each Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each a “Warrant Share”) at
a price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of two (2) years from closing of the Private
Placement.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to prepare an exploration program on the
Company’s 100% owned high-grade copper-rich VMS Marg project located within the Keno Hill
Silver District of the Yukon Territory and general working capital purposes.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid cash finder’s fees of $30,000 and
issued 300,000 Shares, and 600,000 non-transferable finder’s warrants to certain arm’s length
finders. The non-transferable finder’s warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share of the Company
at a price of $0.10 per Share for a period of two years from the date of closing the Private
Placement.
The securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and
one-day hold period under applicable securities laws. The Private Placement is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals
including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
