Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 4, 2024) - Summa Silver Corp. (TSXV: SSVR) (the "Company" or "Summa") is pleased to announce that it has established an "at-the-market" equity distribution program (the "ATM Program"). The ATM Program allows Summa to issue and sell common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") that would have the aggregate sales amount of up to $5,000,000, to the public from time to time through Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent"), acting as agent. Any Common Shares sold under the ATM Program will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, directly through the TSX Venture Exchange or any other recognized marketplace upon which the Common Shares are listed, quoted or otherwise traded in Canada. The volume and timing of sales under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Company's sole discretion and are subject to customary conditions precedent. Summa intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program, to the extent raised, for exploration on its projects and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Distribution of Common Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement (the "EquityDistribution Agreement") dated October 4, 2024 entered into between Summa and the Agent.
The ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of: (i) the issuance and sale of all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Program; and (ii) October 5, 2026, unless terminated prior to such date by Summa or the Agent. As Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be issued and sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the period of distribution.
The offering under the ATM Program is qualified by a prospectus supplement dated October 4, 2024 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to Summa's final short form base shelf prospectus filed in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, dated September 5, 2024 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus"). Copies of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus may be obtained on request, without charge, from the Corporate Secretary of Summa Silver Corp. at Suite 918, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3 (Telephone (604)-288-8005) and are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: "The ATM Program provides us with financial optionality and flexibility in an environment of rising silver prices. We look forward to continuing to advance our two premier American silver projects."
