Aug 22, 2025 | 2025, News Releases

Edmonton, AB – August 22, 2025 – Metalero Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Metalero”) (TSXV: MLO; OTCPK: CRTTF) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously disclosed non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”), raising gross proceeds of $919,501 through the issuance of 7,662,509 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.12 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance, and entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for the first year, and at an exercise of $0.35 per share for the second year.

The proceeds of the Offering will be utilized to advance exploration at Metalero’s flagship Benson Project in central British Columbia, including follow-up work based on recently completed soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. Funds will also be allocated to general working capital. 

In connection with the sale of the units sold, Metalero paid a total of $25,862 in cash and issued 215,520 finder’s warrants, on the same terms as the Warrants, to eligible finders for certain of the Units sold. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Certain insiders participated in the Offering, acquiring a total of 2,019,583 Units. Such subscriptions by insiders of Metalero for a portion of the Offering constitute a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but the Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the subscription, insofar as it involves the insiders of the Company, does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.  The Offering did not result in the creation of a new control person.

For further information with regards to the Offering, please refer to the Company’s news releases dated July 18 and 30, 2025, available for viewing on Metalero’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
