TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2025 / Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Magna Terra") (TSXV:MTT) announces a further update to its previously announced flow-through financing (refer to the news releases dated February 10, 2025 and February 13, 2025) of gross proceeds totalling $500,000.
The full private placement of total gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the "Offering") will now consist of an issuance of up to $285,000 of premium flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of $0.09 per share for an issuance of up to 3,166,667 premium flow-through common shares; and an issuance of up to $215,000 of flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of $0.08 per share for an issuance of up to 2,687,500 flow-through common shares.
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the premium flow-through and flow-through common shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Company's mineral exploration projects, primarily for preliminary exploration programs at the Company's recently acquired Humber Project in western Newfoundland and Rocky Brook Project in northern New Brunswick.
The Company expects that Insiders of the Company will be participating in the Offering. Insider subscriptions are considered to be a "related party transaction" for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101 as (i) the Company's securities are not listed on any stock exchange identified in Section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101; (ii) neither the fair market value of the common shares to be distributed in the Offering nor the consideration to be received by the Company for the common shares, insofar as insider participation is concerned, exceeds $2,500,000; and (iii) the Company has received the approval of the Offering from at least two-thirds of its independent directors in respect of the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finder's fees in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a regulatory four month and one day hold period. A second and final closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on February 20, 2025. The Offering is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
