Toronto, May 11, 2020 - Eric Sprott announces that on May 10, 2020, 3,077,000 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") of Monarca Minerals Inc., (held by 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation he beneficially owns) expired unexercised representing a decrease in holdings of approximately 2.2% of the outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis since the last early warning report.
