Sirios Resources Announces Closing of a Third and Final Tranche of its Flow-Through Private Placement

/EIN News/ -- MONTREAL, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIRIOS RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: SOI) (the "Corporation") announces the closing of the third and final tranche of its non-brokered flow-through private placement (the "Offering"), through the issuance of 600,000 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Shares"), at a price of $0.07 per Share. The aggregate gross proceeds for this third tranche is $42,000. The Shares were issued as "flow-through shares" pursuant to section 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Quebec). The qualifying expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024. Through the three tranches of the Placement, the Corporation has issued a total of 26,471,417 Shares for total gross proceeds of $1,853,000.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Shares will be used by the Corporation to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" related to the Cheechoo Property of the Corporation, located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, in the province of Quebec.

In connection with the third tranche of the Offering, no finder’s fees were paid to finder. Through the three tranches of the Placement, the Corporation paid a total of $64,000 in cash as finder’s fees, of which $20,000 were paid to a non-arm’s length finder, Mine Equities Ltd. Shares issued pursuant to the third tranche of this Offering are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and one day, ending on April 24, 2025, under applicable Canadian laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

Under the third tranche of this Offering, an insider of the Corporation has subscribed for a total of 600,000 Shares for a total consideration of $42,000, which constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("Regulation 61-101") and TSXV Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. However, the insider that participated in the Offering disclosed its interest in the Offering and the directors of the Corporation who voted in favour of the Offering have determined that the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for respectively under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101 can be relied on as neither the fair market value of Shares issued to this insider, nor the fair market value of the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. None of the Corporation’s directors have expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Corporation but could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, due to the fact that the terms of the participation of each of the non-related parties and the related parties of the Offering were not confirmed.
