TBX Turmalina Metals Corp

Turmalina Metals Corp. (“Turmalina”, or the “Company”; TBX-TSXV, TBXXF-OTCQX, 3RI-FSE) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000, from the issuance of 100,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price of $0.05 per Share.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to satisfy continuing costs associated with the Company’s properties and for general working capital purposes.

In connection with closing of the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,746,500 Shares to certain eligible arm’s length finders.

All securities issued in connection with closing of the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

The subscribers in the Offering included two directors, as well as one corporate subscriber controlled by an officer of the Company (collectively, the “Insiders”), who subscribed for an aggregate of 8,500,000 Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $425,000 to the Company. The issuance of Shares to the Insiders constitute “related party transactions” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemption from valuation requirement and minority approval pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, for the Insiders participation in the Offering, as the value of the Shares subscribed for do not represent more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Company also anticipates completing a name change in the near future, to “King Copper Discovery Corp.”. Concurrently with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol on the TSX Venture Exchange will change to “KCP”. Further details related to the name change will be provided in subsequent news releases of the Company.

On Behalf of the Company,

Jonathan Richards, Chief Executive Officer
