Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CPL) (Frankfurt: WOI) (OTC: WTCZF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering of Flow-Through Units previously announced on December 2, 2022.

In conjunction with the closing, the Company issued an additional 6,176,472 Units for gross proceeds of $525,000, resulting in a total issuance for the Private Placement of 15,097,472 Units for gross proceeds of $1,283,285.

Terr MacDonald, CEO of Copper Lake commented, “We are very pleased to have successfully raised these funds as the last few months have been very challenging for junior mining companies in the equity markets. We are now well positioned to complete our winter drill program on the Deep IP Discovery at the Main Billiton Zone on our Marshall Lake copper-zinc-silver VMS project, as well completing the additional LLEM geophysical surveys on the core area and the Teck Hill-Gazooma zone. This funding will also give us flexibility to increase the number of drill holes on the Deep IP Discovery should we decide to expand the program. We are eagerly looking forward to commencing the drill program in early January and take advantage of the frozen ground conditions.”

Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of Copper Lake, that will qualify as a “flow-through share” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share, that is not a flow through share, at an exercise price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of 36 months from the closing date.

The Warrants shall be subject to an accelerated expiry date clause whereby, at any time following the expiry of the four-months and one day hold period, should the weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange be more than $0.25 for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, the Company shall be entitled to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants to a date which is 30 days following the date on which the Company announces the accelerated expiry of the Warrants by press release.

In connection with the second and final tranche of the private placement, the Company will pay a cash finders’ fee of $45,497 and issue 535,260 finders’ warrants, resulting in total finder’s consideration across the Private Placement of $75,495 and 888,201 Finder’s Warrants. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of 36 months from the closing date.

Completion of the private placement and payment of any finders’ fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX-V.

In accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued pursuant to the private placement will have a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The net proceeds of the financing will be used for qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures at the Company’s Marshall Lake project.
