St. Elias Mines Closes Financing
Vancouver, BC, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — St. Elias Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,227,500. The Financing consisted of 12,275,000 common shares (the “Shares”) at a price of $0.10 per Share.
The proceeds of the Financing will be used to investigate new business opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
Certain insiders of St. Elias acquired an aggregate of 460,000 Shares pursuant to the Financing and as such a portion of the Financing is considered a related party transaction with the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The independent directors of St. Elias determined that the participation by insiders is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101. St. Elias did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Financing because the details of the participation therein by related parties of St. Elias were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Financing and the parties wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
The Shares issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period expiring on August 28, 2026.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
Edward Low
CEO and Director
