GABO Mining Ltd Announces Increase in Private Placement to $2,000,000 and Closing of the First Tranche at $1,103,000 Gross Proceeds

The Private Placement will consist of up to 20,000,000 units (each a "Unit") at a purchase price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Private Placement (the "Closing Date"). The Company anticipates closing a second tranche of the Private Placement shortly. The completion of the first tranche, and the subsequent second tranche, of the Private Placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In connection with the closing of the first tranche, the Company issued 11,030,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each unit is comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share until June 26, 2027 at an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant share.

Directors of the Company have participated in the first tranche for an aggregate of 2.5 million units. Such participation in the first tranche is considered to be a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 provided for in subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties nor the consideration for such securities will exceed 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The transaction has been approved by the directors of the Company who are independent in connection with such transactions.

As stated in the February 27, 2024 news release, "The financing allows us to evaluate opportunities in the resource sector within the Americas and continue to progress the Company's efforts with respect to its proprietary rare-earth element ("REE") extraction process currently licensed to ACDC Metals Ltd (ASX:ADC) in Australia," said Gabriel Alonso-Mendoza, President and CEO of GABO.
