/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED

TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2021 /CNW/ - QC Copper and Gold Inc.
("QC Copper" or the "Company") (TSXV: QCCU) is
pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand it has
amended the terms of its previously announced "best efforts"
private placement financing to increase the size of the offering.
The Company has entered into an amending agreement with Cormark
Securities Inc. ("Cormark"), on behalf of a syndicate of
agents (collectively, the "Agents"), pursuant to which the
Agents have agreed to act as agents in connection with a "best
efforts" private placement offering of 10,100,000 common
shares in the capital of the Company that will qualify as
"flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of
the Income Tax Act (Canada)
and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)) (the "FT
Shares") at a price of $0.60 per FT Share (the "Issue
Price") for gross proceeds of $6,060,000 (the "Offering").
The Agents will have the option, exercisable in whole or in part
at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to
arrange for the sale of up to an additional 1,515,000 FT
Shares at the Issue Price.
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be
used for Canadian exploration expenses and will qualify as
"flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in subsection 127(9)
of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under section 359.1 of the
Taxation Act (Quebec) (the
"Qualifying Expenditures"), which will be incurred on or
before December 31, 2022 and
renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than
December 31, 2021 in an aggregate
amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of
the FT Shares. In addition, with respect to Québec resident
subscribers who are eligible individuals under the Taxation
Act (Québec), the Canadian exploration expenses will also
qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain
Québec exploration expenses" within the meaning of section 726.4.10
of the Taxation Act (Québec) and for inclusion in the
"exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining
expenses or oil and gas exploration expenses" within the meaning of
section 726.4.17.2 of the Taxation Act (Québec). If the
Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency,
the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber for any
additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the
Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as
agreed.
The Offering is expected to close on or about October 27, 2021, or such other date as the
Company and the Agents may agree and is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary regulatory and other approvals including the acceptance
of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The FT Shares will be offered for sale by way of private
placement pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus
requirements in each of the provinces of Canada, and in such other jurisdictions as may
be mutually agreed between the Company and the Agents. The
securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four
month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities offered have not been, nor will they be,
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities law, and may not be offered, sold
or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States, or to or for the account or
benefit of U.S. persons, absent registration or an exemption from
such registration requirements. This news release does not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in
the United States in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
