April 26, 2022 (Source) – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (OTCQB: TRUIF) (FSE: 706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000 (the “Offering”).

The Company intends to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 from the issuance of flow-through units (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.16 per unit. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (the “FT Shares”) and one flow-through common share purchase warrant (a “FT Warrant”) exercisable for one non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (a “Share”) at a price of $0.20 for 24 months from the date of issuance. The FT Shares and FT Warrants will qualify as a “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Company also intends to raise gross proceeds of up to $500,000 from the issuance of hard dollar units (“HD Units”) at a price of $0.125 per unit. Each HD Unit will consist of one Share and one common share purchase warrant (a “HD Warrant” and together with the FT Warrants, the “Warrants”) exercisable for one additional Share at a price of $0.16 for 24 months from the date of issuance.

The Company can elect to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants in the event that the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) equals or exceeds $0.30 for the five (5) preceding trading days, in which case the Warrants will expire thirty (30) days after the date that the Company provides written notice of acceleration.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of FT Units will be used to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Company’s mineral exploration projects, primarily for drilling at the Company’s Golden Rose Project in central Newfoundland. The proceeds from the issuance of HD Units will be used for general corporate and public company purposes.

The Offering is anticipated to close on or about May 17, 2022. In connection with the Offering, eligible finders will receive (a) a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised from subscribers to the Offering who were introduced by such finder, and (b) such number of non-transferrable finder warrants (“Finder Warrants”) as is equivalent to 7% of the number of FT Units and/or HD Units, as applicable, issued to such subscribers. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Offering remains subject to TSXV approval. The maximum gross proceeds under the Offering is $3,000,000.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
