Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2024) - GT Resources Inc. (TSXV: GT) (OTCQB: CGTRF) (FSE: 7N1) (the "Company" or "GT Resources") is pleased to announce a non-brokered flow-through private placement ("Private Placement") for gross proceeds of up to C$1,800,000 to be sold to accredited investors of the Company.
"The summer field season at the Canalask copper-nickel project, located in the Yukon, is scheduled to begin in July.
"With a C$1.8 million budget, we plan to drill up to 2,000 meters to test the Electromagnetic ("EM") plate that was defined in the 2023 field season, followed by downhole EM surveys to locate massive copper-nickel sulphide mineralization. Our objective is to expand on the historical resource estimate of 400,000 tonnes at 1.35% nickel. Although copper values were not reported in the historical resource estimate, significant copper mineralization occurs on the project. Massive sulphide samples collected by the Company in 2021 from near the historic Footwall deposit assayed up to 6.1% Cu, 0.15% Ni, 0.06% Co, 1.6 g/t Au, 28.1 g/t Ag (see news release November 17, 2022).
"This 'flow-through' financing preserves the Company's 'hard dollar' treasury and thus optionality at a significant premium to the 30-day VWAP.
"At March 31, 2024, the Company had a 'hard dollar' cash balance of C$10.4 million," stated Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.
NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The Private Placement has been arranged to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,800,000 through the issuance of up to 26,092,629 Common Shares (each a "Common Share") of the Company at a price of $0.069 per Common Share. Each Common Share (a "FT Share") will be issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Tax Act").

Early Metallurgical floatation test work returned concentrate grades as high as 19.7% Nickel (Yukon Assessment Report 093256).
Readers are cautioned that the Company has not attempted to verify the historic mineral resource estimate and therefore readers should not place any reliance on the historical estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resource.
