DENARIUS METALS ANNOUNCES BROKERED LIFE OFFERING OF UNITS
, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (" Stifel Canada") to act as lead agent and bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents") in connection with a "best efforts" agency basis private placement (the "Offering") for the sale of up to 18,182,000 Units of the Company at a price of C$0.55 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$10,000,100. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of CA$0.66 per common share at any time on or before that date which is 60 months after the closing date. It is anticipated that the closing of the Offering will occur on or prior to June 19, 2025. The Units will be offered to purchasers by way of the "listed issuer financing" exemption under Part 5A (the "LIFE Exemption") of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") in all the provinces of Canada other than Québec. Upon closing of the Offering, the Units are expected to be immediately freely tradeable under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Company will grant to the Agents an option, exercisable up to three business days prior to the closing date, to purchase for resale up to an additional 15% of Units at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$1,500,015. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund its projects in Spain, including the advancement of scoping and other studies, and site administration costs at its Lomero and Toral Projects, capital contributions related to certain restart activities and site administration costs at the Aguablanca Project, to fund certain exploration and development expenditures at its Zancudo Project in Colombia and for general corporate purposes and working capital of the Company. Completion of the Offering is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, as applicable, including Cboe Canada. As the number of securities issuable in the Offering (calculated on a fully diluted basis) is more than 25% of the total number of the current total number of issued and outstanding common shares (the "Outstanding Shares") and the Offering Price is less than the closing price of the common shares on the day preceding the Company's price reservation, to proceed with the Offering the Company requires approval from shareholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Shares held by disinterested shareholders. The Company intends to satisfy Cboe Canada's shareholder approval requirement by obtaining a written resolution approving the Offering from the holders of at least 50% of the Outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at and at the Company's website at Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.

Keyera doubles natural gas volumes to be shipped via AltaGas terminal in B.C.
CALGARY – Keyera Corp. has reached an agreement to double the volume of liquefied petroleum gas it plans to export through a West Coast export facility being built by AltaGas Ltd. AltaGas said in February that Keyera had contracted 12,500 barrels per day of capacity to ship the gas to Asia via the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility near Prince Rupert, B.C. The companies announced Monday that will rise to 25,000 barrels per day under 15-year tolling agreements. The facility is to be used to export propane and butane in its first phase, with the possibility of expanding into ethane and other valuable liquids in the future. It's being built next to a propane export facility AltaGas already operates on Ridley Island. AltaGas says the uncertain trade environment has underscored the need for Canadian companies to diversify their export markets beyond the United States. 'AltaGas provides its customers the opportunity for protection against tariff and counter-tariff impacts and ensures access to the highest priced global markets,' it said. 'As Canadian upstream production continues to grow, we believe it is critical to connect more of Canada's vital energy products to premium global markets for the benefit of all Canadians.'
