RAINY MOUNTAIN CLOSES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Vancouver, British Columbia (December 21, 2022) – Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. (TSXV: RMO)

11,400,000 units were issued as ‘flow through units’ and 2,600,000 units were issued as non-flow-through
units.
Each Unit comprised one common share or flow-through common share, as the case may be, and one
share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional
common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share until December 21, 2027.
No finder’s fees were payable in connection with the Placement. All securities distributed pursuant to the
Placement are subject to a statutory hold period ending on April 22, 2023.
The proceeds of the Placement will be utilized to fund an upcoming exploration program on the 100%
owned Powell project and for general working capital.
The Placement is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Insiders participated in the private placement acquiring an aggregate of 7,400,000 flow-through units on
the same basis as other subscribers. The participation in the private placement by insiders of the Company
constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61 -101. The
Company relied on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement
and Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement
of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the private placement in so far as the private placement involved
interested parties did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Placement acquiring 1,400,000 Units. Prior to his participation in the Placement, Mr. Smith held 1,100,000

indirectly, 2,500,000 shares representing 9.62% of the currently outsta nding common shares of the
Company. The warrants issuable to Koston Holdings Co. Ltd. are subject to a restriction such that the

the agreement under which the restrictions arise by providing 90 days prior written notice of same, along
with the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, if required
Mr. Lowell Schmidt acquired direct ownership of 6,000,000 Units in the Placement and separately also
acquired 1,200,000 previously issued share purchase warrants as a result of a testamentary disposition.
These transactions increased Mr. Schmidt’s percentage ownership of common shares of the Company to
52.08% on a partially diluted basis. The Units acquired represent 23% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares. The Company sought and obtained written consent from the holders of greater than
50% of the disinterested shares for the creation of a control position to be held by Mr. Schmidt.
Prior to the transaction that triggered the requirement to issue this news release, Mr. Schmidt 2,365,000
common shares in the capital of the Issuer, all of which are held directly, representing in aggregate 19.70%
of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer and a further 1,100,000 share purchase
warrants to acquire common shares of the Issuer, which were subject to a restriction such that the holder
may only exercise such number of Warrants as will result in the holder’s total shareholders in the Issuer
not exceeding 9.99% of the outstanding common shares, provided that the holder may terminate the
agreement under which the restrictions arise by providing 90 days prior written notice of same, along
with the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, if required.
Immediately after the Placement and the testamentary transfer of warrants referenced above, Mr.
Schmidt owns directly 8,365,000 common shares of the Issuer, representing 32.17% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of the Issuer, and warrants to acquire 8,300,000 common shares of the
Issuer, representing approximately 52.08% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer, on a
partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of the convertible securities held by Mr. Schmidt only. The
warrants held by Mr. Schmidt are no longer subject to restrictions.
Mr. Schmidt holds the shares of the Issuer for investment purposes only. Mr. Schmidt intends to review,
on a continuous basis, various factors related to its investment, including (but not limited to) the price
and availability of the securities of the Company, subsequent developments affecting the Company or its
business, and the general market and economic conditions. Based upon these and other factors, Mr.
Schmidt may decide to purchase or sell securities of the Company.
As of the date hereof, Mr. Schmidt has no immediate future intention to acquire additional securities of
the Issuer or dispose of securities of the Issuer that he beneficially owns.
