FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SRHI Inc. Announces Closing of Bought Deal Offering and Full Exercise of Over-Allotment Option
(all amounts expressed in CAD dollars)
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR
DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, April 16, 2021 (TSX: SRHI) - SRHI Inc. ("SRHI" or the "Company”) today announced that it has closed its
previously announced bought deal financing (the "Offering").
The Company issued a total of 20,930,000 units (the “Units”) on a bought deal basis, at an offering price of C$0.55
per Unit (the “Offering Price”), which included 2,730,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment
option, in full, for gross proceeds of approximately $11.5 million. Each Unit consists of one Class A common share
(a “Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “ Warrant”). Each
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0. 70 for a period of 18 months
following the closing of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the advancement and exploration of the
Company’s flagship Minera Tres Valles (“MTV”) copper project and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
“We are thrilled to announce the closing of this equity offering where we welcome new shareholders and thank our
existing shareholders for their ongoing support,” commented Mr. Lyons, Chief Executive Officer. “I would also like to
thank the management and directors of the Company for their continued support with their subscription of 728,000
units ($400,400).”
“With copper prices approaching 10-year highs and the electric vehicle revolution and infrastructure stimulus
spending marching forwards, we have rooted belief that our pure-play copper project will produce wonderful results
for shareholders once we are able to reach production capacity,” added Mr. Staresinic, President and Chief Financial
Officer. “Our new shareholders see this too and we welcome their support through this Offering.”
The Offering was co-led by PI Financial Corp and Eight Capital, together with Red Cloud Securities Inc . (the
“Underwriters”). In connection with the Offering , the Company paid the Underwriters a cash fee of 6% of the
aggregate gross proceeds raised from the Offering and issued to the Underwriters 1,255,800 non-transferable
compensation warrants (the “Compensation Warrants”) equal to 6% of the number of Units sold under the Offering.
Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at the Offering Price for a period of 18 months
following closing.
Certain officers and directors of the Company (collectively, the "Participating Insiders") participated in the Offering
and acquired an aggregate of 728,000 Units pursuant to the Offering. The participation of the Participating Insiders
in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –
Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and would require the Company to receive
minority shareholder approval for, and obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of, the transaction in
accordance with MI 61 -101, prior to the completion of such transaction. However, in completing the Offering, the
Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements
of MI 61-101, in each case on the basis th at the fair market value of the Participating Insiders' participation in the
Offering does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-
101. The Company did not file a material change report more than 2 1 days before the closing date of the Offering
(the "Closing Date") due to the limited time between the launch date of the Offering and the Closing Date.

States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United

exemption from such registration is available.
