pleased to announce financings of up to $600,000 by way of a private placement of flow-through and non-flow through
securities. A private placement of up to 6,000,000 non-flow-through units at $0.05 per non-flow-through unit (each non-flow-
through unit comprised of a Common Share and a warrant to acquire a Common Share for a period of 24 months at an
exercise price of $0.06) and up to 6,000,000 of flow-through units at $0.05 per flow-through unit (each flow-through unit
comprised of a flow-through Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole common
share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.06 for a period of 24
months from the closing of the Offering.
A Control Person (as that term is defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) of the Company and certain
directors and officers of the Company may acquire units pursuant to the Private Placements.
Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory
approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued will be subject to a statutory hold period

About Search Minerals Inc.
Led by a proven management team and board of directors, Search is focused on finding and developing resources within the
emerging Port Hope Simpson Critical Rare Earth Element (“ CREE”) District of South East Labrador (the “ District”). The
Company controls a belt 70 km long and 8 km wide including its 100% interest in the FOXTROT Project, which is road
accessible and at tidewater. Exploration efforts have advanced “Deep Fox” and “Fox Meadow” as significant new CREE
prospects very similar to and in close proximity to the original FOXTROT discovery. While the Company has identified more
than 20 other prospects in the District, its primary objective remains development of FOXTROT. The delineation of additional
resources will ensure competitive-low cost production beyond the 14-year mine life outlined in the FOXTROT PEA (April 2016.)
The FOXTROT Project has a low capital cost to bring the initial project into production ($152 M), a short payback period and is
scalable due to Search’s proprietary processing technology.
The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as
mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. The preliminary
economic assessment includes the results of an economic analysis of mineral resources. Mineral resources are not mineral
reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

About neo-CREOs (Adamas Intelligence – November 2017)
We consider neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium to be neo-CREOs and they are vital to NdFeB magnets used
widely in renewable power generation, electric mobility, and energy-efficient technologies. We consider terbium to be a neo-
CREO because upon experiencing shortages of dysprosium, consumers in the magnet industry will rapidly consume available
terbium supplies in its place for applications involving renewable power generation, electric mobility and energy efficient
technologies. Lanthanum is considered a neo-CREO because it is widely used in catalytic converters and rechargeable
batteries, and will be increasingly used as a thermal stabilizer by producers of poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) to minimize lead
consumption and improve the energy efficiency of PVC and other processing equipment.
