Vancouver, Canada, October 24, 2023 – Infinico Metals Corp. (“Infinico” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: INFM) is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of up to $1,800,000 composed of the sale of hard dollar units (“HD Units”) at a price of $0.075 per HD Unit for gross proceeds of up to $600,000 and flow-through units (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.145 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000. Each HD Unit shall be composed of one common share (each, a “Share”) in the capital of the Company and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant exercisable by the holder for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance at a price of $0.15 per Warrant. Each FT Unit shall be composed of one common share that qualifies as a “flow-through share” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec))(each, a “FT Share”) and one-half of one Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable by the holder for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance at a price of $0.15 per Warrant.
The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Units to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, in respect of Québec resident subscribers who are eligible individuals, will qualify for inclusion in the “exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining or oil and gas exploration expenses” and the “exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses” of the Corporation as such terms are defined in the Taxation Act (Québec) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s properties located in Quebec on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2023. The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the HD Units shall be used for general working capital purposes.
The Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and all securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day. Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about November 15, 2023.
Related Party Transaction
It is expected that certain insiders (the “Insiders”) of the Company will acquire HD Units and/or FT Units. The participation of the Insiders in the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company intends to rely on an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a), as the fair market value of the Insiders’ participation is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
