Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 11, 2021) – 1246768 B.C. Ltd. (“768“) and Millennial Silver Corp. (“Millennial Silver“) are pleased to announce that further to the companies’ press releases dated December 11, 2020, January 11, 2021 and January 21, 2021, Millennial Silver has successfully closed the previously-announced best efforts private placement (the “Private Placement“) of 48,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“), including 8,000,000 Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the option granted to the Agents, at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $24,000,000.

The Private Placement was led by Stifel GMP and Eight Capital (the “Lead Agents“), on behalf of a syndicate of investment dealers including Sprott Capital Partners, PI Financial Corp. and Cormark Securities Inc. (together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents“). The net proceeds of the Private Placement have been deposited into escrow pending the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions in accordance with the subscription receipt agreement dated February 11, 2021, entered into among Millennial Silver, 768, the Lead Agents and TSX Trust Company. In connection with the Private Placement, the Agents are entitled to receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts (3.5% with respect to the gross proceeds raised under a president’s list), 50% of which commission was paid on closing of the Private Placement and the remaining 50% of which was deposited in escrow, pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. As additional consideration, the Agents were issued an aggregate of 2,741,310 non-transferable broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants“). Each Broker Warrant will ultimately be exercisable to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share (as defined below) at a price of $0.50 per Resulting Issuer Share at any time on or before the date which is 24 months after the date on which the escrow release conditions are satisfied.

The Private Placement has been completed in connection with the previously-announced series of transactions (collectively, the “Transactions“) among 768, Millennial Silver and Clover Nevada LLC that will, among other things, result in 768 (to be named “Millennial Precious Metals Corp.”) indirectly acquiring Clover Nevada LLC’s interest in each of the Wildcat Property, the Mountain View Property, the Marr Property, the Ocelot Property, the Eden Property and the Dune Property located in Nevada (the “Nevada Properties“) and a lease and option to purchase the Red Canyon Property also located in Nevada (the “Red Canyon Property“). The Transactions are conditional on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) approving the listing of the post-consolidation common shares of 768 (the “Resulting Issuer Shares“), and other customary conditions.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by Millennial Silver to fund the acquisition of the Nevada Properties, fund further exploration on the Nevada Properties and the Red Canyon Property and for general corporate purposes following completion of the Transactions.
