Metallic Minerals Closes Final Tranche of $2 Million Flow-Through Private Placement Financing
July 3, 2024 – Vancouver, BC – Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX.V: MMG; OTCQB: MMNGF) (“Metallic Minerals” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche (the “Final Tranche”) of its previously
announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”). Under the Final Tranche, investors subscribed for an
additional 1,062,500 flow-through common shares (the “FT Common Shares”) of the Company at a price of $0.40 per
FT Common Share for gross proceeds of $425,000, bringing the total Offering to $2,025,000.
Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman, stated, "We are pleased to complete this funding round for our Keno Silver and
Klondike Gold projects. Preparations are underway to begin drilling on the Keno Silver project, with a priority on
resource expansion and potential new discoveries. Work will start at the Formo target, which is the largest of the four
deposits contributing to the initial resources announced earlier this year. The Company also intends to direct funds
toward development of our alluvial gold royalty properties in the Yukon’s storied Klondike Gold district. Also, as
previously announced, field activities are underway at our La Plata project in southwest Colorado, and we look forward
to providing further updates on each of our programs and initiatives as they advance.”
Proceeds from the Offering will be used toward eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses, within the meaning of the
Canadian Income Tax Act. The Company may pay finders' fees under the Offering in accordance with applicable
securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject
to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance, under applicable Canadian securities laws.
Completion of the Offering is subject to the acceptance of the TSX-V.
The FT Common Shares 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, U.S. persons,
absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and
applicable U.S. state securities laws.
Certain directors and officers of the Company subscribed for 127,500 shares of the offering for gross proceeds of
$51,000. Participation of the officers and directors in the offering is considered a related party transaction within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The
transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in MI 61-101 as neither the fair
market value of the securities to be issued, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities to be issued,
insofar as it involves such insiders, exceeds 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization.
About Metallic Minerals
Metallic Minerals Corp. is a resource-stage mineral exploration company, focused on copper, silver, gold, and platinum
group elements in districts that have the potential to host tier 1 deposits in the US and Canada. Our objective is to
create shareholder value through a systematic, entrepreneurial approach to making exploration discoveries, growing
resources, and advancing projects toward development.
At the Company’s La Plata project in southwestern Colorado, the expanded NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate
highlights a significant porphyry copper-silver resource containing 1.2 Blbs copper and 17.6 Moz of silver, with
numerous additional targets showing potential for a district scale porphyry system. In May 2023, the Company
announced a 9.5% strategic investment by Newmont Corporation (previously Newcrest Mining which was acquired by
Newmont Corporation in November 2023). The U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) has identified the La Plata mining
district as a potential critical minerals resource area under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative program and in 2023
completed significant geologic and geophysical studies to enhance understanding of the critical mineral occurrence in
the district.
In Canada’s Yukon Territory, Metallic Minerals has the second-largest land position in the historic high-grade Keno Hill
silver district, directly adjacent to Hecla Mining Company’s operations, with more than 300 Moz of high-grade silver in
past production and current M&I resources. The new 2024 Resource Estimate at the Company’s Keno Silver Project
adds 18.2 Moz silver equivalent to the Company’s total resources. Hecla is the largest primary silver producer in the
USA and soon to be Canada’s largest with full production at its Keno Hill operations in 2024.
The Company is also one of the largest holders of alluvial gold claims in the Yukon and is building a production royalty
business by partnering with experienced mining operators.
