Sokoman Minerals Announces Closing of Non-brokered Private Placement with Eric Sprott as Lead Investor

The Company will now issue 12,500,000 flow-through shares units ("FT Units") each FT Unit consisting of one (1) common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), each Warrant being exercisable for an additional common share of the Company, each of which will not qualify as a flow-through share, at an exercise price of $0.45 for 24 months from the date of issue.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month-and-a-day hold period, expiring July 22, 2022.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company is paying $47,250 in cash finders' fees to various finders, as permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on or before December 31, 2023, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2022. The proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used to advance Sokoman's various exploration projects.

Subsequent to the Private placement, Mr. Sprott beneficially owns and controls 60,414,465 Shares and 19,615,385 Warrants, representing approximately 28.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis, and approximately 34.3% on a partially diluted basis assuming exercise of the Warrants.
