CMC Metals Ltd. Announces Closing of Tranche 1 of Private Placement

VANCOUVER, July 2, 2024 - CMC Metals Ltd. (TSX-V:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTCQB:CMCXF) ("CMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce, further to its news releases of April 29, 2024 and June 14, 2024 that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval to close the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"). On June 26, 2024, the Company issued 2,782,143 non-flow through Units (each a "NFT Unit") at a price of $0.035 per NFT Unit, for gross proceeds of $97,375, and 1,000,000 flow-through Units (each a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.04 per FT Unit, for gross proceeds of $40,000, for an aggregate gross proceeds of $137,375. Each NFT Unit is composed of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "NFT Warrant"). Each FT Unit is composed of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "FT Warrant"), each NFT Warrant and each FT Warrant are exercisable for two (2) years at $0.07 per common share.

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO of the Company, subscribed for an aggregate of 1,600,000 Units, composed of 600,000 NFT Units and 1,000,000 FT Units. Such participation was considered to be a "related party transaction" as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on the exemption from valuation requirement and minority approval pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, for the insider participation in the Offering, as the securities do not represent more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Company has paid eligible finders cash commissions in the total amount of $157.50 and issued to such finders 4,500 non-transferrable common share purchase warrants (the "Finder's Warrants"), each Finder's Warrant to entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.07 exercisable for two (2) years from the date of issuance.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of FT Units to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" and "flow through mining expenditures" as these terms are defined inthe Income Tax Act (Canada) and, in particular, the Company's exploration program at its Silverknife, Amy and Silver Hart Properties in the Rancheria Silver District, (Yukon/British Columbia), potentially limited activities at Logjam (Yukon) and Bridal Veil (Newfoundland and Labrador). Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2024, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Units. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of NFT Units for general working capital.

That FT and NFT Units issued under the financing are subject to a four-month hold.
