Yukon Metals Closes C$13 Million Financing
Vancouver, B.C., June 11, 2026. Yukon Metals Corp. (CSE: YMC, FSE: E770, OTC QB:
YMMCF) (“Yukon Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed
its previously announced “best efforts” agency based private placement , consisting of (i)
6,885,964 “flow-through” units of the Company (the “ FT Units”) at a price of C$0.57 per FT
Unit, and (ii) 18,050,000 units of the Company (the “ HD Units”) at a price of $0.50 per HD
Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$ 13 million (the “Offering”). The FT
Units and the HD Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Offered Securities”.
Each Offered Security consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a
“Common Share ”) and one- half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole
common share purchase warrant, a “ Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.75 until June 11, 2028. Each Common Share
and one-half of one Warrant comprising the FT Units qualify as “flow-through shares” (within
the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)).
“The completion of this financing provides the capital to advance drilling at our copper -gold
properties,” says the Company’s CEO Jim Coates. “Funds will also support target generation
across our broader Yukon portfolio.”
The Offering was co-led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets and Canaccord Genuity Corp. on
behalf of a syndicate of agents, including Haywood Securities Inc. (together, the “Agents”).
The Agents received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering,
excluding the approximately C$1.4 million worth of Offered Securities sold to purchasers
settling directly with the Company (the “Direct Settlers”) on which a cash commission was
not paid . Approximately C $4.70 million worth of Offered Securities were sold to certain
purchasers identified by the Company on a president’s list . As additional consideration for
their services, the Agents were also issued compensation warrants (the “ Compensation
Warrants”) equal to 6.0% of the number of Offered Securities issued pursuant to the Offering,
other than with respect to Offered Securities issued to Direct Settlers for which no
Compensation Warrants were issued. Each Compensation Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to subscribe for one C ommon Share at a price of C$0.50 until June 11, 2028. The
Compensation Warrants are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the
closing of the Offering, in accordance with appli cable Canadian securities laws, expiring on
October 12, 2026.

The Company, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act, shall use an amount equal to the
gross proceeds of the sale of the FT Units to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” that
qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the
Tax Act (the “ Qualifying Expenditures”) prior to December 31, 2027. The Company shall
renounce the Qualifying Expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of the FT Units effective
on or before December 31, 2026.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the HD Units for a drilling
campaign on its AZ and Birch properties and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
Certain insiders of the Company acquired an aggregate of 2,117,000 Offered Securities and
as such the Offering is considered a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-
101”). The Company has relied on exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101
in respect of the insiders’ participation in the Offering, as such participation does not exceed
25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company will file a material change report
in respect of the completion of the Offering . However, the Company did not file such a
material change report 21 days prior to closing of the Offering as the participation of insiders
of the Company in the Offering had not been confirmed at that time.
The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or available exemptions from such
registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to acquire securities
in any jurisdiction.
