UNITED STATES/
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 29,
2024 /CNW/ - Cascadia Minerals Ltd.
("Cascadia") (TSXV: CAM) is pleased to announce that,
subject to regulatory acceptance, it will increase the size of the
non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 28, 2024 to up to approximately
$1,500,000 (the "Upsized
Offering").
The Upsized Offering will consist of the sale of:
i.
Non-flow-through units (the
"NFT Units") to be sold at a price of $0.09 per NFT Unit; and
ii.
Critical minerals flow-through common shares (the
"FT Shares") at a price of $0.10 per share.
Each NFT Unit will comprise one common share and one-half of one
common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant shall be
exercisable into one additional common share for twenty-four (24)
months from closing at an exercise price of $0.15. The exact number of NFT Units and FT
Shares sold will be determined at closing of the Upsized
Offering.
The proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used for
"Canadian critical minerals exploration expenses" at Cascadia's
Yukon and British Columbia properties. These
expenditures will qualify as "critical mineral flow-through mining
expenditures" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act
(Canada). The proceeds from the
sale of the NFT Units will be used for general working capital.
Finder's fees or brokers' commissions may be paid in accordance
with TSX Venture Exchange policies. All securities issued as part
of the Upsized Offering will be subject to a hold period in
Canada of four months plus one day
from the closing of the Upsized Offering. Completion of the Upsized
Offering and the payment of any finders' fees remain subject to the
receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the
acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Cascadia anticipates that insiders may subscribe for a portion
of the Upsized Offering. The participation of insiders in the
private placement would constitute a related party transaction,
within the meaning of TSX-V Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument
61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Cascadia intends to rely on
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of
MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value (as determined
under MI 61-101) of insider participation in the Upsized Offering
would not exceed 25 per cent of the Cascadia's market
capitalization.
