Vancouver, April 11, 2024 - Orestone Mining Corp. (TSXV: ORS) (OTC Pink: ORESF) (FSE: WKN: O2R1) ("the Company") is pleased to report that the Company has been reviewing projects for the last six months focusing on opportunities for gold, silver and copper properties in British Columbia, Nevada, Chile and Argentina to complement our current portfolio. With indications of a commodity cycle gaining momentum, the Company believes the investment markets are starting to notice exploration companies which may increase the availability of funding for mineral exploration.
The Company announces a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 5,000,000 common shares ("Shares") at a price of $0.03 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $150,000 (the "Offering"). A finder's fee of up to 6% may be paid in cash in connection with certain subscriptions. The private placement is expected to close on or about April 30, 2024 or such later date as the Corporation may determine. Closing will be subject to receipt of conditional approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The proceeds of the Offering will be used for payment of certain expenses, consisting of $45,000 payable to DeVisser Gray LLP for audit and tax related services; $25,000 payable to Pacific Opportunity Capital, a non-arm's length party, for office rent and accounting services, with the balance of the proceeds to be used for general working capital purposes.
It is anticipated that certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company may acquire Shares under the Offering. Such participation will be considered to be "related party transactions" within the meaning of Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal 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 related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the related parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
