VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2024 / Future Fuels Inc. (TSXV:FTUR)(FSE:S0J) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated November 14, 2024 in respect of (i) the proposed acquisition by the Company of the mountain lake project (the "Mountain Lake Project") pursuant to the asset purchase agreement (the "APA") dated November 13, 2024 with IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX:ISO) ) ("IsoEnergy", and collectively, the "Mountain Lake Acquisition"), and (ii) the concurrent private placement (the "Concurrent Financing"), it has closed the first tranche of the Concurrent Financing (the "First Tranche") for 9,246,980 units (the "Units") at a price of 0.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one common share in the authorized capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price $0.40 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the First Tranche. The subscribers under the First Tranche consented to the Company closing the First Tranche in advance of completing the Mountain Lake Acquisition. The Company may issue an additional 2,753,020 Units under the second tranche of the Concurrent Financing on the same terms as the First Tranche (the "Second Tranche"), for a maximum amount of 12,000,000 Units issued under the Concurrent Financing.
The net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing will be used for general working capital and to advance the Company's presently-owned mineral properties, which for greater certainty excludes the Mountain Lake Project if and until such time as the Mountain Lake Acquisition is completed.
No finder's fees or commissions will be paid in connection with the Mountain Lake Acquisition. In connection with the First Tranche, the Company paid finder's fees of $24,000 and issued 96,000 broker warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of two years. The Company may pay finders' fees in connection with the Second Tranche of the Concurrent Financing. The Mountain Lake Acquisition and the Second Tranche (if any) remain subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
Transaction Update The Company is pleased to report that the Mountain Lake Acquisition is proceeding as anticipated. The Company obtained Conditional Approval of the Mountain Lake Acquisition from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") on December 9, 2024, and the completion of the First Tranche satisfies the financing condition of the Mountain Lake Acquisition contained in the APA, irrespective of whether or not the Second Tranche is completed. Readers are cautioned that the completion of the Mountain Lake Acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions outside of the Company's control, including final approval of the Exchange, and until such time as such conditions have been fulfilled, there is no guarantee the Mountain Lake Acquisition will be completed. If the Company completes the Mountain Lake Acquisition, then the Company may use the net proceeds from the First Tranche in respect of the Mountain Lake Acquisition and to advance the Mountain Lake Project, but only if and after such closing occurs.
