TORONTO, July 14, 2020 /CNW/ - Central Timmins Exploration Corp. ("CTEC" or the "Company") (TSXV: CTEC) reports that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of flow-through common shares (the "FT Offering") and non-flow-through units (the "NFT Offering") (together, the FT Offering and NFT Offering are the "Private Placement").

Flow-Through Offering

The FT Offering will consist of up to 2,800,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Flow-Through Shares") that qualify as flow-through shares for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), at a price of $0.75 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of up to $2.1 million.

The gross proceeds of the FT Offering will be used to fund exploration expenditures on the Silver Reef Property (see News Release of June 11, 2020), BAM Property (see News Release of July 2, 2020), Todd Creek Property (see News Release of July 9, 2020) and other Canadian Exploration Expenses that will qualify as "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and "BC flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Income Tax Act (British Columbia).

The FT Offering will close on completion of documentation and is conditional upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Non-Flow-Through Offering

The NFT Offering will consist of up to 3,000,000 non-flow-through units (the "Units") at a price of $0.50 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million. Each Unit will consist of one non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.75 per common share for a period of two years from the date of issue (the "Expiry Time"), provided that, if after four months from the date of issue, the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the Exchange is equal to or greater than $1.25 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company will have the right to accelerate the Expiry Time of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders of the Warrants by news release or other form of notice permitted by the certificate representing the Warrants that the Warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on a date that is not less than 15 days from the date notice is given.

The NFT Offering will close on completion of documentation and is conditional upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange. The proceeds of the NFT Offering will be used to fund exploration expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

Private Placement

The Private Placement will be offered to accredited investors in all Provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable securities laws.  In connection with the Private Placement, the Company may pay finders' fees as permitted by the policies of the Exchange.  All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period.  The securities offered pursuant to the Private Placement have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

The Company anticipates that insiders will subscribe for Flow-Through Shares and Units. The issuance of Flow-Through Shares and Units to insiders is considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that the participation in the private placement by the insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the company's market capitalization. A material change report in connection with the Private Placement will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wishes to complete the Private Placement in a timely manner
