Sun Summit Announces Upsized Non-Brokered
Private Placement of up to $10 Million
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2025) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp.
(TSXV:
SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) (
"Sun Summit"
or the
"Company"
) is pleased to announce that, due to
significant investor demand, it has increased the maximum gross proceeds of its previously announced
non-brokered private placement (the "
Private Placement
") from $3.5 million to $10 million plus an over-
allotment option whereby the Company may increase the size of the Private Placement by 15% to $11.5
million prior to closing. The Private Placement includes a combination of: (i) charity flow-through units of
the Company (each, a "
Charity
FT Unit
") at a price of $0.105 per Charity FT Unit; (ii) flow-through units
of the Company (each, a "
FT Unit
") at a price of $0.075 per FT Unit; and (iii) non-flow-through units
(each, an "
NFT
Unit
") at a price of $0.07 per NFT Unit.
"We are very pleased with the strong investor interest in Sun Summit's private placement and
enthusiasm for the JD Project," said Niel Marotta Sun Summit Minerals CEO and Director. "The
incremental capital provided from the upsizing of this equity raise will fund an aggressive drill program at
JD in 2025, and additionally, will allow the company to pursue infrastructure improvements which will
potentially extend the drill season and lower our per-meter exploration costs. Our exploration program for
2025 will be focused on discovery and expansion at the JD project, including a minimum of 5,000 meters
of drilling at high potential targets identified in both the Creek and Finn zones, as well as select targets
along the 4.5 km Creek-to-Finn corridor."
Each Charity FT Unit will consist of one charity-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company
(each, a "
Charity FT Share
") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "
Charity FT
Warrant
"). Each Charity FT Unit will qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the
Income Tax
Act (Canada) (the "
Tax Act
").
Each FT Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, an "
FT Share
") and
one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, an "
FT Warrant
"). Each FT Unit
will qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of the Tax Act.
Each NFT Unit will consist of one non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (each, a
"
Common Share
") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, an "
NFT
Warrant
").
Each Charity FT Warrant, FT Warrant and each NFT Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one
Common Share at a price of $0.11 for a period of 2 years following the closing of the Private Placement.
Pursuant to the Private Placement, up to a maximum of 142,857,142 Common Shares and 142,857,142
Common Share purchase warrants are issuable in aggregate, or 164,285,714 Common Shares and
164,285,714 Common Share purchase warrants if the over-allotment option is exercised by the
Company in full.
The Company intends to use all of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration of the
Company's JD, Theory and Buck properties and any other Canadian properties that the Company may
acquire, provided that the Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of the FT Units to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify
as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Tax Act.
The closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange (the "
TSXV
"). The Company may pay finder's fees in cash or securities to
certain arm's length finders engaged in connection with the Private Placement, subject to the approval of
the TSXV. The securities issued in the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful.
