TESORO MINERALS ANNOUNCES THE CLOSE OF OVERSUBSCRIBED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Tesoro Minerals Corp.'s private placement offering, initially disclosed on May 5, 2023, has been oversubscribed. In response to the demand, the company has decided to upsize the offering. The offering closed today, consisting of the sale of 12 million shares at a price of 2.5 cents per share, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000.

Of particular significance, two insiders of the company participated in the private placement, collectively purchasing 2.8 million shares, demonstrating their commitment to the company.

In connection with the private placement, the company paid a cash finder's fee of 6 per cent in the amount of $18,000 to Haywood Securities Inc. in respect of subscribers introduced to the company.

The net proceeds of the private placement are expected to be allocated by the company for general working capital and operating expenses. Additionally, a portion exceeding 10 per cent of the funds raised will be allocated for the payment of the annual concession fees in Peru. It is important to note that none of the proceeds will be utilized for investor relations activities and no payments will be made to non-arm's-length parties of the issuer.

All securities issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day restricted resale period expiring on Sept. 30, 2023, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities laws.

One insider of the company participated in the private placement, thereby making the private placement a related party transaction, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Security Transactions. The private placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the company is not listed on a specified market (as set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101) and the value of the shares issued to, nor the consideration paid by, the insider did not exceed $2.5-million (as set out in Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101).
