Azincourt Energy Announces Increase in Private Placement

AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP.

 (“Azincourt” or the “Company”) 

(TSX.V: AAZ)

, is pleased to announce that it has increased the size of its ongoing non-brokered private placement to primarily accommodate additional institutional demand. The Company will now offer up to 100,000,000 non-flow-through units (each, an “

NFT Unit

”) at a price of $0.05 per NFT Unit for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000. In addition, the Company will concurrently offer up to 2,000,000 flow-through units (each, an “FT Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per FT Unit.

Each NFT Unit and FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.07 for a period of sixty months.

The proceeds from the private placement will be applied to the Company's projects and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the FT Units will be used to finance Canadian exploration expenses (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) which shall qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). It is anticipated that expenditures will largely be focused on continuation of the Company's continuing diamond drilling program at the East Preston uranium project, located in the western Athabasca basin, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Company expects to close the private placement in tranches, of which an initial tranche was completed on January 26, 2021. For further information regarding the private placement, readers are encouraged to review the Company’s news release of January 26, 2021.

All securities to be issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. In connection with the private placement, the Company may pay finders’ fees to eligible third-parties in consideration for the introduction of subscribers. Closing of further tranches of the private placement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
