Raindrop Closes $2.0 Million Private
Placement and Provides Update on Acquisition
of Nevada Exploration Portfolio
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 12, 2021) -
Raindrop Ventures Inc. (CSE:
RAYN) (FSE: RV0)
("
Raindrop
" or the "
Company
") has closed a non-brokered private placement of
12,500,000 units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of $0.16 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$2,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one share in the capital of the Company (a "Common
Share") and one half of one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common
Share purchase warrant, a ("Warrant").
Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share
(a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.27 per Warrant Share for a period of thirty-six months from the date
of issue.
Proceeds from the sale of Units will be used for general corporate purposes.
All securities issued under
the Offering are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring June 13, 2021.
The securities
have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be
offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration
requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
of the securities in the United States.
Insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 425,000 Units under the Offering. The
issuances of Units to insiders pursuant to the Offering are considered related party transactions within
the meaning and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions
("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority
approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the insider
participation as, at the time the transactions were agreed to, neither the fair market value of, nor the fair
market value of the consideration for, the transactions, insofar as it involves the insider participation,
exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company will file a material change report
in respect of the Offering. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the
closing of the Offering, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in
the circumstances.

Raindrop continues to progress towards closing of the acquisition of Liberty Gold Corp.'s exploration
portfolio consisting of three 100%-owned properties (Anchor, Stateline, and Sandy) and three 49%-

acquisition.
