Metallic Minerals Completes $8 Million Bought Deal Private Placement with Canaccord
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, B.C., August 13, 2020 - Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX.V: MMG | US OTC: MMNGF) ("Metallic Minerals" or the
“Company”) announced today that it has completed its previously announced private placement financing (the
“Offering”). A total of 20 million units were sold at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $8 million. The Offering
was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Mackie
Research Capital Corporation (collectively, the "Underwriters").
Each unit consisted of one common share and a half warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into a common share for
24 months at a price of $0.60.
The net proceeds from the Offering are planned to be used for exploration and development activities on the Company’s
high-grade silver and gold projects and for general corporate purposes.
Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman of Metallic Minerals, commented: "With the completion of this financing, we are well -
positioned to accelerate our on-going exploration and drilling program at the Keno Silver project in the Yukon, the largest
program in company history, as well as to advance our La Plata project in Colorado. We received strong participation from
new institutional investors, resulting in an upsized and oversubscribed financing, and were pleased to have Eric Sprott’s
continued support with expanded ownership via his second investment into Metallic Minerals."
The Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission of $435,000 and issued 1,087,500 broker warrants. Each broker
warrant is exercisable, for a period of 24 months, into one common share on payment of $0.40.
All securities issued pursuant to the offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from issuance
in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Offering constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of
3,937,500 Units for $1,575,000. The Company relied on the exemptions in Section 5.5(b) – Issuer Not Listed on Specified
Markets from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101, and relied on the exemption in Section 5.7(1)(a) – Fair
Market Value Not More Than 25 Per Cent of Market Capitalization from the minority shareholder approval requirements
of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days before the expected closing date of the
Offering as the aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wished to
close the Offering as expeditiously as possible.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any
of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities
in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities

will join the Company’s advisory board where he will continue to provide valuable insight and guidance on exploration and
development strategies. Mr. Harris is one of the original founders of Metallic Minerals and the Company wishes to thank
