Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands – (Newsfile Corp. – June 9, 2025) – Talon Metals Corp.
(TSX: TLO) (OTC Pink: TLOFF) (“Talon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord Genuity”) to act as lead
underwriter and sole-bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters to be formed (together
with Canaccord Genuity, the “Underwriters”), in connection with a “bought deal” private
placement offering of 45,460,000 units of the Company (the “LIFE Units”) at a price of $0.22 per
LIFE Unit (the “Offering Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,001,200 (the “LIFE
Offering”). The Company has also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in
part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the LIFE Offering, to purchase up to an additional
6,819,000 LIFE Units at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,500,180.
Concurrent with the LIFE Offering, the Company plans to complete a non-brokered private
placement of up to 62,227,274 units of the Company (the “Non-LIFE Units” and, together with
the LIFE Units, the “Units”) at the Offering Price per Non-LIFE Unit for aggregate gross proceeds
of up to approximately $13,690,000 (the “Non-LIFE Offering” and, together with the LIFE
Offering, the “Offerings”). The Non-LIFE Units will be issued on the same terms as the LIFE
Units. The Non-LIFE Units may be offered to purchasers resident in Canada pursuant to
applicable prospectus exemptions, other than the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (as defined
below), in accordance with applicable laws, and may also be offered in other qualifying
jurisdictions outside of Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to relevant prospectus or
registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws. Any securities issued under the Non-
LIFE Offering to purchasers resident in Canada will be subject to a hold period in accordance with
applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring four months and one day following the issue date
of the Non-LIFE Units. The Non-LIFE Offering will be completed with certain directors, officers
and affiliates of Pallinghurst Nickel International Ltd.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and
one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole Common Share
purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one
Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.28 per Warrant Share for a period of 36
months from the closing of the LIFE Offering or Non-LIFE Offering, as applicable. In the event
that the closing price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) (or such
other Canadian stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed) for twenty (20)
consecutive trading days exceeds $0.56, the Company may, within 10 business days of the
occurrence of such event, deliver a notice (including by way of a news release) to the holders of
Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the
date of such notice.
The LIFE Units will be offered pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus
Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain
Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”),
to purchasers resident in Canada (other than the province of Québec), and in other qualifying
jurisdictions outside of Canada that are mutually agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters
on a private placement basis pursuant to relevant prospectus or registration exemptions in
2
accordance with applicable laws. The securities issued under the LIFE Offering to Canadian
subscribers will not be subject to a hold period in Canada.
There is an offering document related to the LIFE Offering (the “Offering Document”) that can
be accessed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the
Company’s website at www.talonmetals.com. Prospective investors should read the Offering
Document before making an investment decision.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offerings to advance the Tamarack Nickel
Project and for general and administrative expenses and working capital purposes, as further
described in the Offering Document.
The Offerings are expected to close on or about June 19, 2025, or such other date as the
Company and Canaccord Genuity may agree (the “Closing Date”). The Non-LIFE Offering may
close on a date subsequent to or prior to the closing date of the LIFE Offering at the discretion of
the Company. The Offerings are subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory
approvals, including the approvals of the TSX. The closing of the LIFE Offering is not conditional
upon closing of the Non-LIFE Offering, and the closing of the Non-LIFE Offering is not conditional
upon closing of the LIFE Offering.
The Units (and the underlying securities) to be offered pursuant to the Offerings have not been,
and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S.
Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable
U.S. state securities laws. This news 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 jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
