Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) (OTCQB: MYRUF) (FSE: C3Q) ("Myriad" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Financing") (see Myriad's news release dated August 13, 2024). In this tranche of the Financing, Myriad raised gross proceeds of $1,845,890 through the issuance of 7,383,560 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit is composed of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.30 per Share until October 7, 2026. Across three tranches of the financing, which commenced in June 2024, the Company has raised a total of $5,928,390, exceeding the original target of $5 million.
Myriad CEO Thomas Lamb commented: "We are right where we planned to be at this point. This final closing of the private placement puts us in a very good cash position which will enable us to deliver on our exploration plan. Our board of directors and technical team are strong. We continue to welcome prominent and value-add individual and institutional investors to the cap table. And the drilling at Copper Mountain, a past producer with a large historic resource and big upside potential, is advancing on schedule and we very much look forward to communicating results as soon as we can."
In connection with closing this tranche of the Financing, the Company paid aggregate finder's fees of $75,056 and issued an aggregate of 300,224 finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant"), each Finder's Warrant exercisable for one Share at a price of $0.25 until October 7, 2026. Securities issued under this tranche of the Financing are subject to a four month hold period expiring February 8, 2025, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company intends to use the proceeds of this tranche of the Financing for the Company's 2024 exploration program at Copper Mountain and for general working capital.
A director of the Company participated in this tranche of the Financing, and such participation is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). This is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of such participation does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company's directors unanimously approved such director's participation. The effect of such director's participation is to provide the Company with additional working capital. There were no prior valuations made in the past 24 months in respect of the Company that relates to the subject matter of or is otherwise relevant to such director's participation. The Company did not file a material change report respecting such director's participation at least 21 days before closing this tranche of the financing, which is reasonable given the MI 61-101 exemption noted above.

About Myriad Uranium Corp.

Copper Mountain hosts several known uranium deposits and historic uranium mines, including the Arrowhead Mine which produced 500,000 lbs of eU3O8. Copper Mountain saw extensive drilling and development by Union Pacific, which developed a mine plan and built a leach pad for one of the deposits at Copper Mountain. Operations ceased in 1980 before mining could commence due to falling uranium prices.
