Toronto, Ontario – April 17, 2023 – 55 North Mining Inc. (“55 North” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce a private placement financing of 2,333,333 units (the “Units”) at a price of
$0.015 per Unit for proceeds of $35,000.
The board of directors also approved the settlement of $100,576.10 of debt through the issuance
of Units (the "Debt Settlement"). Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company will issue
6,705,073 Units of the Company at a deemed price of $0.015 per Unit to certain creditors of the
Company, including a director and an officer (the "Creditors"). All Units consist of one common
share (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), exercisable at $0.05
for a period of forty-eight (48) months.
All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period which will expire on the date that
is four months and one day from the date of issue.
The proceeds will be used for debt reduction and for general working capital purposes.
As certain insiders participated in the Debt Settlement, it is considered to be a “related
party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). All of the independent directors of the
Company, acting in good faith, considered the transactions and have determined that the
fair market value of the securities being issued to insiders and the consideration being
paid is reasonable. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation
and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a)
and (b) and 5.7(b) of MI 61-101, respectively, on the basis that (i) no securities of the
Company are listed or quoted on any of the markets specified in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-
101 and (ii) the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties pursuant to the
financing does not exceed $2,500,000, and at least two-thirds of the independent
directors in respect of the Offering have approved the transaction.
