MURCHISON MINERALS ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Subject to all regulatory approvals, Murchison Minerals Ltd. intends to raise up to $1.5-million in a non-brokered private placement, with the proceeds directed toward the company's 2023 exploration activities at its 100-per-cent-owned BMK zinc-copper-silver project in Saskatchewan and 100-per-cent-owned HPM nickel-copper-cobalt property in eastern Quebec, as well as for working capital.

Pursuant to the offering, the company will issue hard-dollar units at a price of six cents per HD unit, Quebec flow-through units at a price of seven cents per QFT unit and national flow-through units at a price of 6.5 cents per NFT unit, in any combination to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.5-million.

Each HD unit will comprise one common share of the company and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, and each QFT unit and NFT unit will comprise one flow-through common share of the company and one-half of a warrant. Each whole warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a price of 10 cents for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the offering.

A finder's fee may apply to a portion of the proceeds raised under the offering in the amount of 6 per cent cash and 6 per cent finders' warrants. All securities issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issue.

It is anticipated that Donald K. Johnson, a director and control person of the company, will acquire a certain number of units under the offering to maintain his current ownership at around 30 per cent. Any such participation will be considered a related party transaction, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. It is anticipated that the transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the securities of the company are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and that the fair market value of the offering, insofar as it involves interested parties, will not exceed $2.5-million, or 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the company. The offering was approved by all independent directors of the company.

Troy Boisjoli, president, chief executive officer and director, commented: "Murchison is in a great position, having two key assets with BMK and HPM, located in Canada's top mining jurisdictions, Saskatchewan and Quebec, respectively. At a time when critical minerals like nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc are in continuing high demand globally, the company is excited to advance both of its projects over the course of 2023."
