Scottie Resources Announces Closing of $6.5 Million Private Placement

February 16, 2023

Vancouver British Columbia – February 16, 2023 – Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V: SCOT, OTCQB: SCTSF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement financing pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 16, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cormark Securities Inc. as sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”) in connection with a “bought deal” private placement of: (i) 11,429,000 common shares of the Company that qualify as “flow-through shares” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”) at a price of $0.35 per FT Share for gross proceeds of $4,000,150; and (ii) 10,870,000 common shares of the Company (the “HD Shares”, and together with the FT Shares, the “Offered Shares”) at a price of $0.23 per HD Share (the “HD Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of $2,500,100, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $6,500,250 (collectively, the “Offering”).

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter received a cash commission representing 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering (other than in respect of sales to purchasers on a “president’s list”, in which case it was reduced to 3.0%), and were issued 1,142,287 broker warrants of the Company (“Broker Warrants”). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share (a “Broker Warrant Share”) of the Company at a price of $0.23 per Broker Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The Company also paid to certain finders a cash commission representing 3.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering from the sale of HD Shares to purchasers introduced to the Company by the finder.

The net proceeds from the issue of the HD Shares will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s projects in British Columbia, on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2023. 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.

In compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”), the Offered Shares were offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada and other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”). Because the Offering was completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Offered Shares issued to purchasers in the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.scottieresources.com. The Broker Warrants and the Broker Warrant Shares issued and issuable under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period and may not be traded until June 17, 2023, except as permitted by applicable securities legislation.

The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
