Crown Mining Completes Oversubscribed $263,500
Private Placement
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2017) - Crown Mining Corp., (TSXV: CWM) ("
Crown
" or the "
Company
") is
pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement previously announced on August 9, 2017 (the
"Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $263,500.
The Private Placement involved the issuance of 2,635,000
units ("Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $263,500.
Each Unit consists of one common share in the
capital stock the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant").
Each Warrant will
entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.15 at any time up to the date that is three years following
the date of closing of the Private Placement, subject to an acceleration clause.
All securities issued pursuant to this Private
Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period.
The indirect and direct 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").
Insiders of the Company acquired directly and indirectly a total of $100,000 worth of Units or
1,000,000 Units in the Private Placement on the same basis as other participants. The Company is relying on the exemptions
from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation
requirement of MI 61-101 based on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted for trading
on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock market or
any other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London
Stock Exchange or the Plus operated by Plus Markets Group plc. Additionally, the Company is exempt from obtaining minority
shareholder approval in connection with the Private Placement by relying on section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as, in addition to the
foregoing, (i) neither the fair market value of the Units nor the consideration received in respect thereof from "interested parties"
as defined by MI 61-101
would exceed $2,500,000, (ii) the Company has one or more independent directors in respect of the
Private Placement who are not employees of the Company, and (iii) all of the independent directors have approved the Private
Placement.
A material change report in connection with the Private Placements will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of the
Private Placement. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wished to complete
the Private Placements in a timely manner.
The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development work at its Moonlight-Superior
Copper Project and for general working capital purposes.
Crown is focused on advancing its 100% controlled Moonlight-Superior Copper Project in Northeast California which includes 4
known copper deposits. The Moonlight deposit hosts a current National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") indicated resource of
approximately 161 million tons (146.5 million tonnes) averaging 0.324% copper, 0.003 ounces of gold and 0.112 ounces of
silver per ton for 1.044 billion pounds of copper, and an inferred resource of 88 million tons (80 million tonnes) averaging
0.282% copper per ton for 496 million pounds of copper. Further details of this resource can be found in the Technical Report on
the Moonlight Copper Property dated April 12, 2007 at Sedar.com. The Superior and Engels deposits have a current NI 43-101
inferred mineral resource of 57 million metric tonnes at an average copper grade of 0.43% for 547 million pounds of copper.
Further details of this resource can be found in the Technical Report on the Superior Project dated November 7, 2014 filed on
Sedar which also discloses a historical resource estimate for the fourth deposit.
