VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2025 / Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF)(FSE:9MM1) (the "Company" or "Metallic") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced brokered private placement financing (the "Offering"), including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option, for total gross proceeds of C$6,000,024 from the sale of 25,000,100 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of C$0.24 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.34 at any time on or before July 30, 2027.

Cormark Securities Inc., as lead agent, and Canaccord Genuity Corp., SCP Resource Finance LP, and Beacon Securities Limited, acted as agents in connection with the Offering (collectively, the "Agents").

The Units were sold in Canada in accordance with the listed issuer financing exemption under National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The Common Shares and Warrants are freely tradeable in Canada in accordance with applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Units were also sold in the United States pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended(the "U.S. Securities Act") and in offshore jurisdictions in accordance with applicable securities legislation. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at: www.metallic-minerals.com (the "Offering Document").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance its La Plata copper-silver-gold-PGE project located in southwestern Colorado, USA, exploration at its Keno Silver project and other properties in Yukon, Canada, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, as described further in the Offering Document.

Newmont Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newcrest International Pty Ltd., ("Newmont") has indicated that it intends to exercise its participation rights pursuant to the investor rights agreement with the Company dated May 18, 2023, to maintain its pro rata shareholding in the Company in connection with the Offering. No commission or other fees will be made to the Agents in connection with any participation by Newmont.

To accommodate participation by management and insiders, along with the anticipated participation of Newmont (an insider of the Company), a separate non-brokered private placement is expected to follow which shall constitute a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the participation of the related parties in the private placements in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wished to close the Offering as expeditiously as possible. Any securities issued to the foregoing management and insiders under the current Offering or the subsequent private placement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day following the issue date.

As consideration for their services under the Offering, the Agents received aggregate cash fees of C$247,530.24 and were issued at total of 1,031,375 non-transferable broker warrants of the Company (the "Broker Warrants"). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of C$0.34 per Common Share at any time on or before July 30, 2027. In connection with the Offering, the Company has also paid finder's fees totaling $29,000 to certain finders other than the Agents.
