Vancouver, March 29, 2023 - Canterra Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) ("Canterra" or the "Company") announces a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to C$750,000 (the "Offering").
The Offering will consist of any combination of (i) units of the Company ("Units") at a price of C$0.05 per Unit; and/or (ii) common shares of the Company that will qualify as "flow-through shares" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("FT Shares") at a price of C$0.06 per FT Share; subject to maximum aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$750,000. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of C$0.075 for a period of five years from the date of issuance.
The net proceeds from the sale of Units are expected to be used in the planning for, and resumption of exploration at the Company's gold and base metals projects, located in Newfoundland, and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used for exploration expenses on the Company's mineral properties in Newfoundland, which will qualify as "Canadian Exploration Expenses" and "flow-through mining expenditures", as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 28, 2023, and remains subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period in Canada.
Participation by insiders of the Company in the Offering will constitute a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the securities to be issued under the Offering nor the consideration to be paid by insiders of the Company will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Certain persons may be eligible to receive finder fees in accordance with TSX policies, payable in cash, representing up to 6% of the proceeds placed by such finders, in connection with the Offering.
The offered securities have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States or any "U.S. person", as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This news 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 any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
