Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - May 30, 2024 – Rackla Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAK) (the “Company ”) is pleased to announce the closing of a first tranche of its previously announced private placement financing.  The Company has issued 8,333,333 charity flow-through units at a price of $0.21 per unit, for proceeds of $1.75 million.

Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 until May 30, 2025.  Each common share qualifies as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).  The securities issued are subject to a resale restriction until October 1, 2024.  This tranche of the financing remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The proceeds received by the Company from this tranche of the financing will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as Canadian exploration expenses and “flow-through mining expenditures” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or before December 31, 2025 (or such other period as may be permissible under applicable tax legislation).  Such proceeds will be renounced in favour of the purchasers with an effective date of not later than December 31, 2024, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised under the FT Offering and CFT Offering.

Management proposes to use the proceeds of this tranche of the financing for conducting exploration and drilling on the Company’s Tombstone Gold Belt properties within the Selwyn Basin in the coming year.

The Company expects to close the regular FT and HD tranches of the financing next week.  Due to significant interest, the total to be raised in the financing has been increased to $4.65 million.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Offered Securities in the United States or the U.S. persons.  The Offered Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
