Torr Metals Inc. has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement, raising gross proceeds of $5,341,058 through the sale of:
- 6,439,706 flow-through (FT) units at a price of 17 cents per FT unit. Each FT unit consists of one flow-through common share of the company and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each FT unit warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional non-flow-through common share of the company at a price of 25 cents per share until Oct. 30, 2027;
- 12,568,345 non-flow-through units at a price of 13 cents per unit. Each unit consists of one non-flow-through common share of the company and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each unit warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional warrant share at a price of 21 cents per share until Oct. 30, 2027;
- 12,559,729 charity flow-through units at a price of 20.8 cents per charity FT unit. Each charity FT unit consists of one FT share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each charity FT unit warrant entitles the holder to acquire one warrant share at a price of 21 cents per share until Oct. 30, 2027.
Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer of Torr, commented: "This financing places Torr in a very strong position, with approximately 70 per cent of the flow-through portion backed by committed long-term supporters through the charity component, with the remainder taken by substantial participation from key high-net-worth investors. These funds provide full financing for our comprehensive drill program of up to 9,000 metres at our highway-accessible 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in Southern British Columbia. This includes an expansion of our inaugural drilling from 1,500 to 2,500 metres, currently under way at the high-potential Bertha target, followed by a phase II program of approximately 6,500 metres in spring, 2026, targeting either Bertha or one of our three additional undrilled porphyry systems, two of which are already drill permitted, with one further permit pending at the Sonic zone. With 1,400 metres of drilling already completed in fall, 2025, we look forward to reporting assay results and sharing updates on our recently completed surface geochemical work at Sonic and Bertha South in the coming months."
All warrants issued in connection with this offering will be subject to earlier expiry in the event that the closing price of the common shares of the company exceeds 35 cents for 10 consecutive trading days.
In connection with the sale of the offered securities, Torr paid a total of $217,513 in cash to arm's-length finders. The company also issued a total of 1,159,297 non-transferable share purchase warrants to eligible finders, on the same terms as the unit warrants, all in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
All securities issued are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period expiring on March 1, 2026.
All FT shares and charity FT unit warrants issued in connection with the offering qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The charity FT unit offering was facilitated by PearTree Securities Inc. PearTree did not receive any fees or commissions from the company for its role in the offering.
The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the FT units and charity FT units will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures, as such terms are defined in the tax act, and for subscribers who are qualifying individuals under the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), these expenditures will also qualify as B.C. flow-through mining expenditures, as defined in Section 4.721(1) of the B.C. tax act. These expenditures will be incurred on Torr's British Columbia assets, specifically its 100-per-cent-owned, 275-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project and the adjacent 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, which was optioned in March, 2025, with the right to earn a 100-per-cent ownership. The qualifying expenditures will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and will be renounced in favour of the subscribers with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2025, in an aggregate amount not less than the total gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT units and charity FT units. The net proceeds from the sale of the units will be utilized for general working capital.
One insider of Torr participated in the offering and such subscription is a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, but Torr is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the subscription, insofar as it involves the insider of Torr, does not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
For additional information with regard to the offering, please refer to Torr's news release dated Sept. 25, 2025, and Oct. 14, 2025, available for viewing on Torr's SEDAR+ profile.
About Torr Metals Inc.
Torr Metals, headquartered in Edmonton, Alta., is focused on unlocking new copper and gold discovery potential within proven, highly accessible mining districts across Canada, areas with both established infrastructure and a growing need for near-term feed. Torr's 100-per-cent-owned, district-scale assets are strategically located for cost-effective, year-round exploration and development. The 275-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project and strategically optioned 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, situated directly along Highway 5 in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel terrane, lie just 30 kilometres southeast of Canada's largest open-pit copper operation at the Highland Valley copper mine and 40 kilometres south of the city of Kamloops. In Northern Ontario, the 261-square-kilometre Filion gold project covers a virtually unexplored greenstone belt with high-grade orogenic gold potential. It sits just off the Trans-Canada Highway 11, approximately 42 kilometres from Kapuskasing and 202 kilometres by road from the Timmins mining camp, home to world-class operations like Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome.
