TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2021 /CNW/ - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) ("C3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase 78,947,400 common shares (the "Shares") on a bought deal private placement basis (the "Offering").

The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to cover over-allotments (the "Underwriters' Option"), which will allow the underwriters to purchase up to an additional 15,789,500  Shares at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,005. The Underwriters' Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the closing date of the Offering.

The Offering is expected to close on or about November 9, 2021, 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 TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

The Company has agreed to pay a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and will issue to the underwriters compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") equal to 6.0% of the number of Shares sold under the Offering, other than in respect of a maximum of C$750,000  in aggregate proceeds of Shares issued to certain purchasers under a president's list, in which case only a cash fee of  3.0% will be payable. The Compensation Warrants will be exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price per Compensation Warrant equal to the Offering Price for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. Gross proceeds of the Offering will be used to expand the drill program at the Company's 100% owned Jasperoide high-grade copper-gold skarn property in Peru and to undertake a maiden drill program at the Company's Bellas Gate property in Jamaica and for general working capital and corporate purposes.
