ZEPHYR CLOSES PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Further to Zephyr Minerals Ltd.'s news release of June 11, 2025, the company has closed a non-brokered private placement through the issuance of 6.5 million units for gross proceeds of $260,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the company. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional share at a price of eight cents for a period of 36months from the date of issuance.
Net proceeds from the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes and to undertake a water monitoring well drill program on the Dawson gold project. This program is in support of activities necessary to resubmit an application for a mining permit previously submitted in 2021.
In connection with the private placement, Zephyr paid finders' fees of $1,750 in cash and issued 43,750 finders' warrants to an arm's-length party to the company. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share on the same terms as noted above. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day. The private placement remains subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Insiders of the company acquired an aggregate of 3.85 million units in the private placement for proceeds of $154,000. Participation by insiders in the private placement constitutes a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101). The company relied on the exemptions available under the instrument, and such participation was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of insider subscriptions does not constitute more than 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the private placement as the details of the private placement and the participation therein by the insiders were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the private placement, and the company wished to close the private placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
