VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – Torr Metals Inc. (“Torr” or the "Company") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") consisting in the issuance of: (i) up to 2,142,857 flow-through shares of the Company (each, a "FT Share") at a price of $0.14 per FT Share, and (ii) up to 3,000,000 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a "NFT Unit") at a price of $0.10 per NFT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $600,000.
Each FT Share will consist of one common share of the Company issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each NFT Unit will consist of one non-flow-through common share of the Company and one-half of one warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period for 24 months from the date of issuance of the warrant.
The warrants are non-transferable and subject to an acceleration clause that entitles the Company to provide notice (the "Acceleration Notice") to holders that they will expire 30 days from the date the Company delivers the Acceleration Notice. The Company can only provide the Acceleration Notice if the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) is equal to or greater than $0.40 for 10 consecutive trading days. The Acceleration Notice can be provided at any time after the statutory hold period and before the expiry date of the warrants.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company’s mineral property interests in Ontario, Canada, and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of all flow-through shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" and qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" under the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the purchasers of flow-through shares using the “look back rule” with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024, in an aggregate amount no less than the proceeds raised from the issue of the flow-through shares.
The closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
This press 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 the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereunder.
