Finlay Minerals Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement of Flow-Through Shares and Non-Flow-Through Units

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/ VANCOUVER, BC, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"), previously announced on May 26, 2025 and June 4, 2025, consisting in the issuance of: (i) 11,206,088 common shares of the Company issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") at a price of $0.11 per FT Share, and (ii) 4,400,000 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a "NFT Unit") at a price of $0.10 per NFT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,672,670. Each NFT Unit was comprised of one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a "NFT Share") and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one NFT Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per NFT Share until June 9, 2027, subject to acceleration as described in the Company's press release dated June 4, 2025. The Company intends to use the gross proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration of the Company's SAY, JJB and Silver Hope properties, and for general working capital purposes, as more particularly described in the amended and restated offering document in respect of the Private Placement filed on under the Company's profile. The Company will use the gross proceeds from the issuance of FT Shares to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Private Placement was conducted pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and in reliance on the Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The securities issued to purchasers in the Private Placement are not subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. The securities issued to certain insiders of the Company that participated in the Private Placement are subject to a hold period expiring on October 10, 2025 in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSXV. The Company paid aggregate cash finder's fees of $89,196 and granted 829,145 non-transferable finder warrants (each, a "Finder Warrant") to arm's length finders of the Company, as compensation for locating purchasers in the Private Placement. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share until June 9, 2027. The Finder Warrants and the common shares issued on exercise thereof are subject to a hold period expiring on October 10, 2025 in accordance with applicable securities laws. Gordon Steblin, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, participated in the Private Placement by subscribing for 200,000 FT Shares, which constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). There has not been a material change in the percentage of the outstanding securities of the Company that are owned by Mr. Steblin as a result of his participation in the Private Placement. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the participation of the insider in the Private Placement in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the insider participation does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company obtained approval by the board of directors of the Company to the Private Placement. No materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. The Company did not file a material change report less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Private Placement as the insider participation was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been 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 thereunder.

Summer McIntosh breaks world record in 200m individual medley

Summer McIntosh broke the world record in the 200m individual medley, giving her the fastest time in history in three different long course swimming events. McIntosh, a triple 2024 Olympic gold medalist, clocked 2 minutes, 5.70 seconds on Monday at the Canadian trials for the World Championships in Singapore in July and August. Advertisement She broke the world record of 2:06.12 set by Hungarian Katinka Hosszu at the 2015 World Championships, the third-longest standing world record in women's long course (50-meter pool) swimming. McIntosh, 18, was previously the third-fastest 200m IMer in history thanks to her 2:06.56 to win Paris Olympic gold. With Monday's time, she passed American Ariana Kukors, who swam 2:06.15 at the 2009 Worlds, and Hosszu. McIntosh also owns world records in the 400m IM (set in 2024) and the 400m freestyle (reclaimed from Australian Ariarne Titmus last Saturday).
