RT Minerals Corp. Closes $670,100 Private Placement
Vancouver, October 6, 2021 - RT Minerals Corp. (TSXV:RTM) (OTC:RTMFD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its news releases of August 24, 2021 and September 23, 2021, the Company has completed a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of $670,100 (the "Offering"). The Company raised $160,000 through the sale of 3,200,000 non flow-through units priced at $0.05 (the "NFT Units"). Each NFT Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable into one further common share at a price of $0.06 for a term of two years. The Company raised an additional $510,100 through the sale of 8,501,666 flow-through units priced at $0.06 (the "FT Units"). Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable into one further common share at a price of $0.06 for a term of two years. The proceeds from the sale of the flow-through portion of the Offering will be used for exploration activity on the Company's 100% optioned and/or owned Catharine Properties near Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The proceeds from the sale of the non-flow-through portion of the Offering will be used to pay all contractual obligations owing by the Company, trade payables and for general working capital.
Finders' fees of $50,008 (8% cash) and 220,133 share purchase warrants (8% of the number of units sold) were paid on a portion of the Offering. The finder's warrants are exercisable at $0.07 per warrant for a term of two years.
The spouse of Doug Andrews, a director of the Company, subscribed for 333,333 FT Units. Mr. Andrews is considered a "related party" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and the Offering is therefore considered to be a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Offering, however, is exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the participation by related parties is less than 25% of the Company's current market capitalization.
All securities issued are restricted from trading until February 7, 2022.
