Canterra Minerals Closes $1.5 Million in Financings
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES.
Vancouver, B.C. ( June 27, 2024 ) – Canterra Minerals Corporation ( TSXV:CTM) ( OTCQB: CTMCF)
(“Canterra” or the “Company”) announces that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered
private placement pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument
45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (see news release dated May 13, 2024) for gross proceeds of $1,232,970
(the “ LIFE Offering”) and an additional non -brokered private placement of FT Shares (as hereinafter
defined) for gross proceeds of $ 300,000 (the “ FT Offering” and together with the LIFE Offering, the
“Financings”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million.
Pursuant to the LIFE Offering, Canterra issued 20,549,498 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit
for gross proceeds of $1,232,970. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of
$0.09 until June 27, 2026.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Units are expected to be used for general working capital purposes,
including but not limited to, mining lease and property payments and exploration expenditures.
Pursuant to the FT Offering, Canterra issued 4,285,714 critical mineral exploration tax credit flow-through
common shares (the “FT Shares”) at a price of $0.07 per FT Share for gross proceeds of $300,000.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to fund further exploration programs which
will qualify as “Canadian Exploration Expenses” and “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures”
as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the purchasers of
the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024.
The FT Shares issued pursuant to the FT Offering are subject to a four month and one day statutory hold
period in Canada, expiring on October 28, 2024.
In connection with the Financings, the Company paid finder’s fees of $ 33,060 in cash and 508,140
warrants to arm’s length persons. Each finder’s warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.06 until June 27,
2026.
The Financings are subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Certain directors of the Company participated in the LIFE Offering on the same terms and conditions as
non-arm’s length subscribers, subscribing for a total of 1,916,666 Units for aggregate proceeds of
$114,999.96. Participation by such insiders in the LIFE Offering constitutes a “related party transaction”
pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61 -101 on the basis that
LEGAL*65313037.1

neither the fair market value of the securities issued under the LIFE Offering nor the consideration paid
by the insiders exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material
change report 21 days prior to closing of the LIFE Offering as the participation of insiders of the Company
in the LIFE Offering had not been confirmed at that time and the shorter time period was necessary in
order to permit the Company to close the LIFE Offering in a timeframe consistent with usual market
practice for transactions of this nature.
The offered securities have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to,
or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States or any “U.S. person”, as such term is
defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful.
