(TSX Venture: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 104,758,886 common shares (the "Shares") at a price of $0.0133 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$1,393,293 (the "Financing").

All Shares issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange policies.
Adyton is also pleased to announce that on July 17, 2023 it entered into an option agreement with Caribe Metals Corporation ("Caribe") pursuant to which Adyton has been granted the exclusive right (the "Option") to acquire up to an 80% interest in Caribe's interests in certain mineral projects in Cuba. Caribe is an arm's length private Australian company which owns a 49% interest in Minera del Sur S.A., a joint venture company formed ?under the laws of Cuba ("Minera"), which in turn owns 100% of the El Cobre ?copper/gold project in Cuba. The other 51% of Minera is owned by the Cuban state ?mining company Geominera S.A. In addition, Caribe is party to an International Economic Association Contract (the "IEA ?Contract") with Commercial Caribbean Nickel S.A. in respect of the Cajalbana nickel/copper project in Cuba.
The El Cobre project is a gold/copper/zinc project located in the Sierra Maestra Paleogene volcanic arc of the south-eastern part of Cuba and hosted the oldest copper mine in the Americas. The Cajalbana project is a nickel/cobalt project located in the Western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio. The El Cobre and Cajalbana properties are not considered to be material resource properties of the Company at this time.
Pursuant to the terms of the Option, Adyton would earn a 20% interest in Caribe's interests in the Cuban projects for each AUD$500,000 of exploration expenditures on the projects before December 31, 2024 up to a maximum of AUD$2,000,000 for an 80% interest. The terms of the Option also provide Adyton ?the right at its sole option to purchase 100% of the equity interests in Caribe in ?exchange for a total of 140,000,000 common shares in the capital of Adyton to be ?issued to the shareholders of Caribe any time after Adyton has spent at least AUD$1,000,000 of exploration expenditures on the projects. ?
The option transaction is subject to due diligence by Adyton. A portion of the proceeds from the Financing will be used to conduct certain technical due diligence investigations on the El Cobre and Cajalbana projects and, if warranted because the Company determines it wishes to exercise its option to acquire an interest in the projects, to produce technical reports in respect of the projects in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Adyton's due diligence must be completed to its satisfaction prior to determining whether it wishes to exercise its option and there is no assurance the Company will proceed with the option transaction.
The closing of the Financing and the acquisition and any exercise of the Option are subject to certain additional conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company does not anticipate any insider participation in the Financing, nor does the Company anticipate that any insiders of Caribe will participate in the Financing.
