Peruvian Metals Closes Oversubscribed Financing

In This Article:

Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2024) - Peruvian Metals Corp. (TSXV: PER) (OTCQB: DUVNF) ("Peruvian Metals" or the "Company"), further to its press releases of September 11, 2024 and September 16, 2024, is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"). The Company has issued 20,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of C$0.02 per Unit for gross proceeds of $400,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of one year from the closing date of the Offering.

All securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. The Offering is subject to certain conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to complete the purchase agreement for the Palta Dorada property, and for general working capital requirements, which includes development at the recently acquired Mercedes property.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid finders fees of a total of $5,040 and issued 132,000 non-transferable compensation options in respect of certain investors introduced to the Company by such finders, with each such option exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of one year from the closing date of the Offering.

The purchase of Units in the Offering by certain insiders of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering because the details of the insider participation were not finalized until closer to the closing and the Company wished to close the Offering as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
