YUKON METALS CLOSES C$10 MILLION FINANCING

Yukon Metals Corp. has completed its previously announced best efforts agency based private placement of $10.0-million, plus a $1.2-million agents' option, for a total of 20,409,090 units of the company at a price of 55 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11.2-million, including the exercise of the agents' option. Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the company at a price of 80 cents until April 9, 2028.

"The completion of this financing takes Yukon Metals' treasury to $17-million, strengthening our ability to advance our key exploration efforts," said Rory Quinn, president and chief executive officer of Yukon Metals. "This season, our team will focus on three high-priority drill targets -- Star River, AZ and Birch. We are grateful for the support of our shareholders, whose investment is instrumental in unlocking the exploration potential of our property portfolio."

The offering was co-led by Cormark Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. The agents received a cash commission equal to 6.0 per cent of the gross proceeds of the offering, other than with respect to units issued to purchasers identified by the company on which the cash commission was generally reduced to 3.0 per cent of the gross proceeds and, in some cases, further reduced or waived entirely, or increased to up to 6.0 per cent as agreed by the company and the agents. As additional consideration for their services, the agents were also issued compensation warrants equal to 6.0 per cent of the number of units issued pursuant to the offering, other than with respect to units issued to purchasers on the president's list for which no compensation warrants were issued. Each compensation warrant entitles the holder thereof to subscribe for one common share of the company at a price of 55 cents until April 9, 2028.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including a drilling campaign on its AZ, Birch and Star River properties.

The securities issued in connection with the offering which were not issued pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 -- Prospectus Exemptions, including the compensation warrants, are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the offering, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring on Aug. 10, 2025.

One insider of the company acquired 20,699 units and as such the offering is considered a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101). The company has relied on exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the insider's participation in the offering, as such participation does not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company will file a material change report in respect of the completion of the offering. However, the company did not file such a material change report 21 days prior to closing of the offering as the participation of insiders of the company in the offering had not been confirmed at that time.
