PROSPECTOR CLOSES $38 MILLION FINANCING

Prospector Metals Corp. has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of an aggregate of 39,054,190 common shares for gross proceeds of $38,047,564 comprising 5.5 million flow-through common shares (the FT shares) at a price of $1.00 per FT share and 33,554,190 non-flow-through common shares (the NFT shares) at a price of 97 cents per NFT share.

The FT shares will qualify as flow-through shares (within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as: (i) Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the tax act); and (ii) as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures (as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act). Qualifying expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the flow-through shares will be incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the company on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and will be renounced by the company to the initial purchasers of the flow-through shares with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2025.

Prospector intends to use the proceeds of the FT shares to further finance its exploration program at its ML project in the Yukon and the proceeds of the NFT shares for additional funding of its exploration program at the ML project and for general working capital purposes.
