Meridian Announces Closing of $20.1M Bought Deal Public Offering

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / April 9, 2024 / Meridian Mining UK S (TSX:MNO)(Frankfurt/Tradegate:N2E) ("Meridian" or the"Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has closed the bought deal offering previously announced on April 1, 2024 and upsized on April 2, 2024 by issuing 57,500,000 common shares of the Company (the "Offered Shares") at $0.35 per Offered Share (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20,125,000 (the "Offering") pursuant to terms of the underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") entered into among the Company, Beacon Securities Limited and BMO Capital Markets (the "Joint Bookrunners"), and CIBC World Markets Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Raymond James Ltd. and SCP Resource Finance LP (collectively with the Joint Bookrunners, the "Underwriters"). The Offering included 7,500,000 Offered Shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

Mr. Gilbert Clark, Executive Chairman, comments: "Meridian greatly appreciates the strong support from its existing and new shareholders that have placed the Company on a sound financial base to advance the Cabaçal Project. Meridian can look to complete Cabaçal's PFS during a period of renewed interest in near term gold and copper developers. We are very pleased with the exceptional efforts of the Underwriters in positioning Meridian for long-term value creation."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds to advance the Cabaçal gold & copper project, including for the purposes of a pre-feasibility study, resource delineation drilling and continued exploration on the greater belt upside, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Insiders of the Company participated in the Offering and purchased an aggregate of 10,190,000 Offered Shares. Participation of the insiders in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61‐101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61‐101"), but was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61‐101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the insiders nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. None of the Company's directors expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of the insiders of the Company had not been confirmed at that time.

The Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering were qualified for distribution by way of a prospectus supplement of the Company dated April 3, 2024 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's existing short form base shelf prospectus dated February 24, 2023 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") filed in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and offered and sold to eligible purchasers by way of available prospectus exemptions in certain jurisdictions outside of Canada. The Base Shelf Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the Underwriting Agreement are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The securities referred to herein 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the "United States" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
