Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - February 28, 2024 – Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV:FTZ) (OTC:FTZFF) (“Fitzroy Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000.

 

Each Unit shall 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 warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of 24 months from closing of the Offering.

 

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration activities and property commitments on the Company's projects (with a particular focus on the Company’s Caballos and Polimet projects in Chile), working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Offering is anticipated to close on or about the week of March 18th, 2024 ("Closing"), or such earlier or later date as the Company may determine. The Closing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Units to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing.

 

Subject to the approval of the Exchange, certain finders at arm’s length to the Company (each, a “Finder”) may receive from the Company a finder’s fee of cash and/or securities of the Company on terms to be negotiated among the Company and the Finders.

 

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

 

Amendment to Previous Disclosure Regarding Caballos Finder’s Fee

 

Further to the Company’s press release dated February 6, 2024, the cash portion of the finder’s fee to be paid in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Caballos copper project will be $65,000 and not $67,500 as previously disclosed. The Company confirms that this finder’s fee arrangement with Marrad Limited (a company controlled by Mr. Merlin Marr-Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of the Company) was negotiated prior to Mr. Marr-Johnson’s appointment to the Company’s board of directors and as an executive officer of the Company.  As such, at the time of the settlement of the Caballos option and finder’s fee terms, Mr. Marr-Johnson was not a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as defined under the policies of the Exchange) to the Company.
