Treasury Announces C$2.3 Million Bought Deal Private Placement

Treasury Metals Inc. (“Treasury” or the “Company”) (TSX: TML) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by PI Financial Corp. (collectively, the "Underwriters") including Haywood Securities Ltd., pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, 8,100,000 flow-through units (the “Flow-Through Units”) of the Company, at a price per Flow-Through Unit of $0.285 (the “Issue Price”), for gross proceeds of C$2,308,500 (the "Offering"). The Issue Price represents a premium of approximately 14% to the closing price of the Corporation's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 31, 2019.

Each Flow-Through Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company issued on a flow-through basis (“Flow-Through Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant to be issued on a non-flow-through basis (each whole such warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of Treasury at a price of $0.45 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering, and, at the discretion of the Company, may be subject to acceleration and called prior to the expiry date in the event that the closing price of the Common Shares is $0.75 or more for twenty consecutive trading days. The Flow-Through Shares will qualify as “flow-through shares” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)).

The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,620,000 Flow-Through Units to cover over-allotments, exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to the closing date of the Offering. 

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used for general exploration expenditures on Treasury’s properties located in Ontario. The exploration program will fund a 10,000-metre infill and expansion drilling program with the initial 5,000-metres focused on the C Zone Resource Area where several significant gold intersections have been found and the additional 5,000-metres will drill test both down dip and along strike targets identified in the downhole IP Survey and recent mine scheduling modelling work (see press release dated October 24, 2019).

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about November 21, 2019, or such other date as agreed between the Company and the underwriters, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

In connection with the Offering, the underwriters will receive on closing of the Offering: (i) a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding gross proceeds from the issuance of Flow-Through Units on a president’s list to be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters (the “President’s List”) for which a commission of 3.0% of such gross proceeds will be paid by the Company to the Underwriters; and (ii) that number of non-transferable compensation options as is equal to (a) 6.0% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Units sold under the Offering, excluding those Flow-Through Units sold to subscribers on the President’s List, and (b) 3.0% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Units sold under the Offering to participants on the President’s List. Each compensation option shall be exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.285 per common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.
