PINH.P Pinehurst Capital II Inc

Halcones Precious Metals Inc. (“Halcones”) and Pinehurst Capital II Inc. (TSXV: PINH.P) ("Pinehurst") are pleased to announce that Halcones has closed its previously-announced brokered private placement (the "Subscription Receipt Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"). Under the Subscription Receipt Offering, Halcones issued an aggregate of 11,462,200 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.30 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $3,438,660. The Subscription Receipt Offering was completed pursuant to an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") dated June 24, 2022 among Halcones, Pinehurst, Clarus Securities Inc. (the "Lead Agent"), iA Private Wealth Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively with the Lead Agent, the "Agents"). The Subscription Receipts are governed by the terms of a subscription receipt agreement dated June 24, 2022 and among Halcones, the Lead Agent and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”).

As previously announced, on January 25, 2022, Halcones and Pinehurst entered into an amalgamation agreement, as amended on May 20, 2022 (the "Amalgamation Agreement") setting out the terms of the reverse take-over of Pinehurst by the shareholders of Halcones by way of a three-cornered amalgamation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinehurst incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the "RTO"). Pinehurst, as the resulting issuer following the completion of the RTO (the "Resulting Issuer"), will continue the business of Halcones under the name "Pinehurst Precious Metals Corp." or such other name as determined by Halcones.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, less the cash portion of the Agents' commission and Agents' expenses, are being held in escrow by Computershare in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement and will be released to Halcones upon satisfaction and/or waiver of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), including completion of all conditions precedent to the RTO. If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied or waived on or before December 24, 2022 (subject to extension pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement), the escrowed proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Offering will be released to Halcones. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or waived by that date or the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated or Halcones announces to the public by way of press release, or advises the Lead Agent and Computershare in writing, that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the gross proceeds and pro rata entitlement to interest earned on the escrowed proceeds will be paid to the holders of the Subscription Receipts. The Resulting Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Subscription Receipt Offering for (i) exploration of the Carachapampa project and (ii) general corporate and working capital purposes.

Each Subscription Receipt will, without any further consideration on the part of the subscriber, automatically convert on the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions into one Halcones Common Share and one-half of one Halcones Warrant. Each Halcones Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Halcones Common Share at a price of $0.40 per Halcones Common Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Subscription Receipt Offering. Each Halcones Common Share and each Halcones Warrant will be immediately exchanged for one common share of Pinehurst and one common share purchase warrant of Pinehurst (each on a post-Consolidation basis). Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, prior to completing the RTO, Pinehurst common shares shall be consolidated on the basis of 0.4716981 post-consolidation Pinehurst common shares for each one pre-consolidation Pinehurst common share (the “Consolidation”).

In connection with the Subscription Receipt Offering, Halcones paid the Agents a commission satisfied by an aggregate cash payment of $245,706.20. As additional consideration, Halcones issued 802,354 broker warrants to the Agents, each entitling the Agents to purchase one Halcones Common Share (and subsequently one Resulting Issuer common share) at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance of the Release Notice (as defined in the Agency Agreement).
