("Whitecap" or the "Company") (TSX: WCP) is pleased to announce that it has priced an offering of $300 million principal amount of 3.761% senior unsecured notes due June 19, 2028 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds will be used to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. Whitecap's investment grade credit rating was recently upgraded to BBB, with a stable trend, issued by DBRS, Inc. ("Morningstar DBRS"), reflecting its improved credit profile. The Notes have also been assigned a provisional rating of BBB, with a stable trend, by Morningstar DBRS. The Notes will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Notes are being offered in Canada on a private-placement basis in reliance upon exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities legislation (the "Offering"). The Notes are being offered through a syndicate of agents including CIBC World Markets Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., ATB Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., TD Securities Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch Canada Inc. The Notes are expected to be issued on or about June 19, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes in any jurisdiction. The Notes have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory authority. The Notes have not been and will not be qualified for distribution to the public under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and will only be sold to "accredited investors" under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Notes will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and will not be offered or sold within the United States. ADVISORY Credit Ratings Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of an issue of securities. Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities and do not address the market price or suitability of a specific security for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgement, circumstances so warrant. NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This press release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively "forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to the Offering and other aspects of our business. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this press release contains forward-looking information with respect to: that the Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes; our belief that the credit rating from Morningstar DBRS reflects the improved risk profile; and the expected terms of the Notes and timing to issue the Notes. The forward-looking information is based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by our management, including our ability to satisfy all conditions to closing the Offering on the timeline anticipated. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Whitecap can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature it involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited, to: the risk that we are delayed in satisfying or are unable to satisfy the conditions to closing the Offering and that closing of the Offering is delayed or does not occur; changes to credit ratings from the provisional rating disclosed herein; and general business and economic conditions and the risk of adverse changes thereto. Our actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that we will derive therefrom. Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information provided in this press release in order to provide security holders with a more complete perspective on our future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive.

Crown names new COO, shuffles other leadership
This story was originally published on Packaging Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Packaging Dive newsletter. Crown Holdings plans to promote the president of its Americas division, Djalma Novaes, Jr., to executive vice president and COO July 1, resulting in a cascading effect for other leadership announcements. At that time, current COO Gerard Gifford will shift to executive vice president and chief administrative officer. Gifford, who has been COO since 2017 and has been with Crown since 1983, plans to retire early next year. Novaes has been with Crown since 1998, and since 2015 he has led the Americas division, the company's largest business unit. He previously held other leadership roles at the company, including vice president of operations for the North American beverage can business. "Under Djalma's leadership, in addition to more than doubling segment income, the Company has strengthened its competitive position across each market it serves in the Americas. Djalma's strategic vision, coupled with his deep operational and commercial expertise, makes him well-suited to take on this expanded leadership role,' Crown CEO Tim Donahue said in a statement. In addition to overseeing Crown's Americas and European divisions, Djalma will take responsibility for global sourcing as well as CMB Engineering, the company's can manufacturing equipment business. Also on July 1, Gary Gavin will move up from his current role of president of the North American beverage can business to president of the Crown Americas division. Gavin joined Crown in 2023 after working for 29 years at International Paper, most recently as vice president and general manager of the North American container division. Under Gavin's leadership, Crown's North American beverage can business has 'undergone a period of significant capacity expansion, resulting in strong sales and income growth,' according to a company news release. During the company's first quarter earnings call in April, executives reported a 2% increase in beverage can volumes in the Americas and expectations for a strong summer selling season. That continues Crown's beverage growth trend in the region that executives mentioned on earnings calls last year. In May, Crown announced it would add a third line to a beverage can plant in Brazil to meet demand there. Crown also announced a leadership shuffle in another region last week. On July 1, John Rost will become president of the Asia Pacific region, replacing Carlos Baila, who is stepping down for personal reasons. Rost has been with the company since 1997, including as a senior vice president who drove innovation at the company's technology centers. He also was instrumental in forming the current sustainability team, according to a news release. Recommended Reading Crown cautiously optimistic for 2025 growth Sign in to access your portfolio

BARRANCO GOLD DEFINES HIGH-PRIORITY TARGETS THROUGH SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY ON KING PROPERTY
VANCOUVER, BC, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Barranco Gold Mining Corp. ("Barranco" or the "Company") (CSE: BAR) is pleased to announce that to date soil geochemistry results from its 100%-owned King Property have outlined multiple high-priority gold and copper anomalies, further validating the property's exploration potential. The King Property is located approximately 50 km south of Merritt, British Columbia, and consists of nine contiguous mineral claims totaling 3,456 hectares. The soil sampling program collected to date included three major grids: the Main, South, and East Grids. 726 soil samples were collected systematically and analyzed using ICP- MS following aqua regia digestion. Sampling was carried out on grid lines spaced 100 m apart, with samples taken every 50 m along each line. The results delineate multiple strong gold and copper anomalies aligned with regional structures and intrusive contacts. Soil Sampling Highlights Total samples: 726 soil samples collected Grid parameters: 100 m line spacing, 50 m sample spacing Gold anomalies: >100 ppb Au in Main and South Grids, with one 860 ppb Copper anomalies: >200 ppm Cu Anomalies may represent the interpreted northwest trending structures The geochemical anomalies are spatially associated with fault zones and lithologic contacts between Osprey Lake Batholith rocks and quartz-feldspar porphyries of the Otter Intrusion. The data supports the presence of a hybrid porphyry-epithermal system, consistent with nearby productive mineral camps in southern British Columbia. Next Steps The Company will integrate soil anomalies with structural mapping and upcoming geophysical surveys to refine drill targets for Phase 2 exploration scheduled later in 2025.
