Faraday Copper Announces Upsize to Previously Announced
Bought Deal Financing to C$34.8 Million
February 6, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Faraday Copper Corp. (“Faraday” or the “Company”)
(TSX:FDY) (OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce that in connection with the bought deal financing
announced on February 2, 2023, the Company has entered into an amending agreement with Canaccord
Genuity Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters that includes PI Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc. and
Stifel GMP (collectively, the “Underwriters”), to increase the size of the previously announced bought deal
financing from C$30.0 million to C$34.8 million consisting of 43,478,000 common shares of the Company
(the “Common Shares”) at a price of C$0.80 per Common Share (the “Upsized Offering”). Fort Capital
Partners acted as special advisor to the Company in relation to the bought deal financing and other strategic
matters.
The Company will grant the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 6,521,700 Common
Shares (the “Over-Allotment Option Common Shares” and together with the Common Shares, the “Offered
Securities”) to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes at a price of $0.80 per
Over-Allotment Option Common Share for additional gross proceeds of up to C$5,217,360 (the “Over-
Allotment Option” and together with the Underwritten Offering, the “Offering”), exercisable in whole or in part,
at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the Closing Date (as defined herein). In the event
that the Over-Allotment Option is fully exercised by the Underwriters, the gross proceeds from the Offering
would be C$39,999,760.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Upsized Offering to fund the purchase of a 32,000
acre ranch land package adjacent to the Company’s Copper Creek Property, for exploration and
development of the Copper Creek project, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes
as set out in the prospectus supplement.
The Common Shares will be issued by way of a prospectus supplement that will be filed in all provinces
and territories of Canada, other than Quebec, under the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated October
21, 2022. The Common Shares may also be sold in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “U.S. Securities Act”), and other jurisdictions outside of Canada provided that no prospectus filing or
comparable obligation arises.
The Upsized Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), and is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other
approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
The securities offered in the Upsized Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S.
Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to,
or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news
release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States,

nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful.
