Cosa Resources Corp. (TSX-V:
COSA) (OTCQB:
COSAF) (FSE:
SSKU) (“
Cosa” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement with Haywood Securities Inc., on behalf
of itself and a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the
“
Underwriters”) who have agreed to purchase, or
arrange for substitute purchasers, on a “bought deal” private
placement basis, 2,128,000 hard dollar units of the Company (the
“
Hard Dollar Units”) at a price of C$0.47 per Hard
Dollar Unit (the “
Hard Dollar Issue Price”), and
5,603,000 charity flow-through units of the Company (the
“
Charity FT Units”, and together with the Hard
Dollar Units, the “
Units”) at a price of C$0.714
per Charity FT Unit (the “
Charity FT Issue
Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of
C$5,000,702 (collectively, the “
Offering”).
Each Hard Dollar Unit will consist of one common
share of the Company (a “Share”) plus one-half of
one common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a
“Warrant”). Each Charity FT Unit will consist of
one Share of the Company that qualifies as a “flow-through share”
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and will qualify
as an “eligible flow-through share” as defined in The Mineral
Exploration Tax Credit Regulations, 2014 (Saskatchewan) plus
one-half of one Warrant.
Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an
exercise price of C$0.67 for 24 months following the completion of
the Offering. The Warrants will be subject to an acceleration
provision whereby, if for any ten consecutive trading days, the
closing price of the Shares exceeds $1.20 per Share on the TSX
Venture Exchange, the Company may announce by way of press release
that the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to 30 days
thereafter.
In addition, the Company has agreed to grant the
Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment
Option”), exercisable in whole or in part by Haywood, at
any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date (as defined
below), to purchase up to an additional number of Units, in any
combination of Hard Dollar Units and/or Charity FT Units, equal to
15% of the total Units issuable pursuant to the Offering at the
respective issue prices above.
The Company understands that purchasers of the
Charity FT Units may immediately resell or donate some or all of
the Charity FT Units to registered charities, who may sell such
units (the “Resale Units”) concurrent with closing
of the Offering to purchasers arranged by the Underwriters at a
price per Resale Unit equal to the Hard Dollar Issue Price.
The gross proceeds from the sale of Charity FT
Units will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian
exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical
mineral mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the
Income Tax Act (Canada), and to incur “eligible flow-through mining
expenditures” pursuant to The Mineral Exploration Tax Credit
Regulations, 2014 (Saskatchewan) (collectively, the
“Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the
Company’s uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, on
or before December 31, 2025. All Qualifying Expenditures will be
renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Charity FT Units
effective December 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the sale of Hard
Dollar Units will be used to fund exploration and for additional
working capital purposes.
The Units will be offered to purchasers pursuant
to National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions in all of the
provinces of Canada, except Québec, and/or in other jurisdictions
as agreed to between the Company and the Underwriters. The Units
will be subject to the statutory hold period of four months and one
day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable
Canadian securities laws.
The Offering is expected to close on or about
March 5, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). The Company
will pay to the Underwriters a cash commission of 5.0% of the gross
proceeds raised in respect of the Offering, other than in respect
of Units issued to certain purchasers on a president’s list to be
agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters (the
“President’s List”), in which case the commission
in respect of such issuance shall be equal to 3.0%. In addition,
the Company will issue to the Underwriters compensation options,
exercisable for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date,
to acquire in aggregate that number of Shares which is equal to
6.0% of the number of Units sold under the Offering at an exercise
price equal to the Hard Dollar Issue Price, other than in respect
of Units issued to purchasers on the President’s List, in which
case the Company will not issue any compensation options.

to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of securities in
the United States. The securities have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state

from such registration is available.
About Cosa Resources Corp.
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration
company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises
roughly 200,000 ha across multiple projects in the Athabasca Basin
region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside
within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.
Cosa’s award-winning management team has a long
track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the
Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their
previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit.
Prior to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles
in the discovery of Denison Mines’ Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy's
Gemini Zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and
IsoEnergy.
Cosa’s primary focus through 2024 is initial
drilling at their Ursa Project, which captures over 60-kilometres
of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural
corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling.
It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca
corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics
completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target
areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or
adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration – a
setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium
deposits.

necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates
that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently
subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political

insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or
at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to
generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to
project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent
in all mining projects; contests over title to properties,
particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations
governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the
communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with
the implications of COVID-19; the economic and financial
implications of COVID-19 to the Company; operating or technical
difficulties in connection with mining or development activities;
employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's
interactions with surrounding communities; the speculative nature
of exploration and development; stock market volatility; conflicts
of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity
for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors
identified in the Company’s public disclosure documents. Readers
are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to
forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although
the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other
