Sokoman Minerals Corp. has closed its previously announced bought deal private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds to the company of $26,221,750. The offering consisted of: 53 million common shares of the company at a price of 19 cents per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.07-million; and 60.95 million common shares of the company that will qualify as flow-through (FT) shares (within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), including 7.95 million FT shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the overallotment option, at a price of 26.5 cents per FT share for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,151,750. The FT shares were distributed on a charity flow-through basis.

Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned by him, acquired 53 million common shares in connection with the offering.

The net proceeds from the sale of the common shares will be used by the company for property acquisitions, as well as working capital and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT shares will be used to incur Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the tax act) that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures within the meaning of the tax act. The qualifying expenditures will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and will be renounced by the company to the initial purchasers of the FT shares with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2025.

The offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and BMO Capital Markets, pursuant to an underwriting agreement entered into among the company and the underwriters. In connection with the offering, the company paid the underwriters a cash commission of $1,073,305 and issued the underwriters 3,679,105 broker warrants. Each broker warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the company at an exercise price of 19 cents per broker warrant share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering.

The offering included participation by a director of the company for 130,000 common shares. Such participation constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions. However, the insider participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements set forth in MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the consideration does not exceed 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization.

The common shares and FT shares issued in the offering are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
