TUKTU RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES MARKETED PUBLIC OFFERING OF UNITS

/NOT FOR PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS./

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 4, 2024 /CNW/ - Tuktu Resources Ltd. ("Tuktu" or the "Company") (TSXV: TUK) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the Provinces of Canada, other than Québec, in connection with a "best efforts" marketed offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company ("Units"). The Company is offering up to 111,111,111 Units at a price of $0.09 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $10 million. The Company has retained Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent") to act as sole bookrunner and agent for the Offering.

Each Unit issuable under the Offering is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.13 for a period of 24 months from closing of the Offering. The Units will be offered by way of the Prospectus, pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions. The Prospectus contains important information relating to the Offering and is still subject to completion or amendment. For more information, potential investors should read the Prospectus which is available on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com. There will not be any sale or any acceptance of an offer to buy the Units until a receipt for the final short form prospectus has been issued.

In connection with the Offering, the Company intends to enter into an agency agreement with the Agent (the "Agency Agreement"). The Agency Agreement will provide, among other things, that the Company grants the Agent an option (the "Agent's Option") to market for sale up to an additional 15% of the number of Units sold in the Offering (or components thereof), such Agent's Option being exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on or before the date that is 30 days after the closing of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering towards its capital expenditure program, to execute on its business plan to drill two development wells at Penny Upper Banff (one vertical well and one horizontal well), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. While the Company intends to spend the net proceeds from the Offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, funds may be reallocated. If the Offering is not fully subscribed, the Company will apply the proceeds of the Offering to the above uses in priority and in such proportions as management of the Company determines is in the best interests of the Company.

The Units to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be distributed by way of a short form prospectus in all provinces of Canada (excluding Québec) and may also be placed privately in the United States to certain: (i) Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined under Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act")) that are also "accredited investors" ("Accredited Investors") (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the US Securities Act ("Regulation D")); and (ii) Accredited Investors, in each case pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the US Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder, and similar exemptions under any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States, and may be distributed outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the Company's securities under domestic or foreign securities laws. Closing of the Offering is scheduled to be on or about November 21, 2024, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Application will be made to the TSXV for the listing of the Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares for trading on the facilities of the TSXV.
