Aftermath Silver Ltd. Announces Closing of Second and Final Tranche of Private Placement

12.04.2024  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, April 11, 2024 - Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV: AAG) (OTCQX: AAGFF) (FSE: FLM1) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche (the "Second Tranche") of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"), whereby the Company has completed the issuance of 5,367,573 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.22 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,180,866.14. The Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $3,850,000 through the sale of 17,500,000 Units in the Private Placement.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable by the holder to acquire one additional Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at a price of C$0.32 per Common Share.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to complete geological, metallurgical and engineering studies at the Company's Berenguela Silver-Copper-Manganese project in southern Peru ("Berenguela") and for general working capital purposes.

A director of the Company (the "Interested Party") purchased or acquired direction or control over a total of 1,656,318 Units as part of the Second Tranche of the Private Placement. The placement to such Interested Party constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of the Company have determined that the Interested Party's participation in the Second Tranche of the Private Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Second Tranche of the Private Placement as the details of the participation of the Interested Party had not been confirmed at that time.

In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company issued 70,496 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") and paid commissions of $15,509.16 to certain finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional Common Share at a price of $0.32 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

All securities issued pursuant to the Second Tranche, including the Finder's Warrants, are subject to a hold period expiring on August 12, 2024, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Second Tranche have been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the 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 the United States or any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Agreement for Investor Relations Services

The Company announces that it has entered into an investor relations agreement (the "IR Agreement") with Departure Capital Inc. (the "Consultant"), a Vancouver-based marketing company beneficially owned by Aaron Missere, pursuant to which the Consultant has agreed, to be effective as of April 15, 2024, to provide a social media program for the Company for a term of 3 months.

The Consultant has been engaged to heighten market awareness for the Company through social media channels. In conducting the social media program, the Consultant will create social media posts and engage in interviews with Company management.

The Company will pay the Consultant a cash fee of $10,000 which the Company intends to pay out of its general working capital account.

The Company and the Consultant act at arm's length. The Consultant currently holds (i) 23,000 Common Shares and (iii) 11,500 Warrants with an exercise price of $0.32 expiring on April 2, 2026. The Consultant has no other interest in the Company or its securities, or any right to or intent to acquire such an interest at this time.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information.
