NEWS RELEASE JANUARY 30, 2024
EDM ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF ITS $1.4M NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Halifax, Nova Scotia, January 30, 2024 – EDM Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EDM) (“EDM” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds
of C$1.4 million (the “Offering”).
The President and CEO, Mr. Mark Haywood, stated: “EDM is pleased to announce the closing of this strategic financing.
We regret that we were not able to accommodate all potential investors who expressed an interest in participating in the
Offering. We thank everyone who expressed an interest, and hope to invite them to participate in our next offering.
“Net proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance ongoing environmental work at our Scotia Mine and for general
working capital purposes.”
The Offering consisted of 12,727,272 units (“Units”) of the Company (the “Offering”), at a price of C$0.11 per Unit for
gross proceeds of C$1,399,999.92, each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company (each a “Share”) and one
share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each a “Warrant Share”) at
a price of C$0.14 for each Warrant Share, until January 30, 2027. The Company will use the net proceeds from the
Offering for environmental work at its wholly owned Scotia Mine, located 60 km north of Halifax (the “Scotia Mine”),
and for general working capital purposes.
Certain directors, officers, and other insiders of the Company (collectively the “Insiders”) have acquired a total of
2,642,546 Units in the Offering. The participation of Insiders constitutes a "related party transaction", as such term is
defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and
Companion ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements provided under MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of
related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject
matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties,
exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
In connection with the Offering, the Company has paid C$20,944.00 in cash compensation and issued 190,400 broker
warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) to eligible brokers for their assistance with the Offering. Each Broker Warrant is
exercisable into a Common Share until January 30, 2027.
