TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PTX Metals Inc. (CSE: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF, Frankfurt: 9PX) (“PTX” or the “Company”), a mineral exploration company focused on high-quality Cu-Ni-PGE-Au and gold projects in northern Ontario, is pleased to announce that due to increased demand it proposes to increase the size of its previously announced private placement financing (the “Private Placement”) from $2,250,000 to up to $3,000,000.

Article content

The Private Placement consists of a (i) non-flow through component, consisting of up to 8.0 million units of the Company (“Units“) at a price of $0.125 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.0 million (previously up to $750,000) (the “Non-FT Offering”), and (ii) a flow-through component (the “FT Offering“), whereby the Company will now issue up to 14,285,714 (previously up to 10,700,000) flow-through common shares in the capital of the Company (“FT Shares“), at a price of $0.14 cents per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 (previously up to $1,500,000). Each FT Share will qualify as a “flow-through share” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

It is anticipated that the Private Placement will close in multiple tranches, with the first tranche expected to close on or about December 3, 2024. The Private Placement remains subject to various closing conditions, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“). The gross proceeds of the FT Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures“) related to the Company’s mineral projects including the W2 Cu Ni PGE Au project on or before December 31, 2025. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2024.
