Orosur Mining Inc - Share Placing

 

London, 30 September 2024. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company")
(TSX-V/AIM:OMI), announces that it has raised the sum of £835,000 (before
expenses) through a placing of 30,035,971 new common shares of no par value
("Placing Shares" or "New Common Shares") at a price of 2.78 pence per Placing
Share ("Placing Price"), together with a grant of one unlisted warrant to
purchase one additional common share exercisable at US$0.0494 (approximately
3.697p) ("Investor Warrant") for every two Placing Shares subscribed for
(together the "Placing"). Completion of the Placing is subject, amongst other
things, to admission of the New Common Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission").

 

The Company held cash of US$500,000 (approximately £370,000) as at 27
September 2024, and the additional funds will be used largely to progress the
Company's Anzá exploration project in Colombia.  Work at Anzá will include
drilling at the Pepas prospect and the engagement of external consultants to
examine results from 38,000m of drilling at the APTA prospect to determine if
a Mineral Resource Estimate may be developed.

 

Details of the Placing

The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 15 per cent. to the
closing mid-market price of the common shares on 27 September 2024, being the
last trading day prior to the release of this announcement of the Placing.

 

The Placing Shares will, when issued, represent approximately 14.6 per cent of
the existing common shares and will represent approximately 12.7 per cent. of
the enlarged share capital of the Company.

 

The Placing was undertaken by Turner Pope Investments (TPI) Ltd ("Turner Pope"
or "TPI"), the Company's Joint Broker.

Placing Agreement, Admission and Total Voting Rights

The Company and Turner Pope have entered into a placing agreement ("Placing
Agreement") pursuant to which Turner Pope agreed to use its reasonable
endeavours to procure placees pursuant to the Placing. The Placing Agreement
contains certain warranties and indemnities given by the Company in favour of
Turner Pope. It also contains provisions entitling Turner Pope to terminate
the Placing Agreement prior to Admission if, among other things, a breach of
any of the warranties occurs.

Completion of the Placing is subject, amongst other things, to the 30,035,971
New Common Shares being admitted to trading on AIM and is also conditional
upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects and not
being terminated in accordance with its terms. Application will be made for
Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00am (GMT)
on or around 4 October 2024.

Following the issue of the 30,035,971 New Common Shares, which on Admission
will rank pari passu with the existing common shares, the total number of
common shares in issue with voting rights in the Company will be 235,620,423.

The above figure of 235,620,423 common shares may therefore be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to
their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.

The Placing is subject to approval of the TSX-V. The Placing Price of 2.78
pence translates to 5.0 Canadian cents at the exchange rate of GBP1=CAD$1.8.
No finder's fees have been paid as part of the placing.
