Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) (“AEMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered offering of special warrants to raise $4,520,000, and its concurrent, non-brokered private placement of units for proceeds of $480,000. Combined with the closing of offerings announced on July 8 and July 11 2024, the total gross proceeds of both financings is $8,679,564. Gregory Beischer, President and CEO of Alaska Energy Metals, commented:

"Having attracted this level of financing speaks to the quality of the Nikolai Nickel Project, confidence in our exploration team and plans, and also to our new company directors, who are in place to assist in fully unlocking value for all of our shareholders."

Special Warrant Offering

For this offering, 30,133,330 special warrants (the “Special Warrants”) were issued at the price of $0.15 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds of $4,520,000 (the “Offering”). Each Special Warrant will automatically convert into one unit of the Company (each a “Unit”). Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of three years following the date of issue. The Special Warrants will automatically convert, for no additional consideration, into Units on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Company files a prospectus supplement to a short form base shelf prospectus with the applicable securities regulatory authorities qualifying distribution of the Units underlying the Special Warrants (the “Prospectus Supplement”), or (ii) the date that is four months and one day after the closing of the Offering.

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Prospectus Supplement within 60 days of the closing of the Offering (not including the date of closing), provided however, that there is no assurance that a Prospectus Supplement will be filed with the securities commission prior to the expiry of the statutory four month hold period.

The Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of approximately $218,726 to certain finders, being 7% of the gross proceeds raised by each such finder. As additional compensation, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,458,176 non-transferable broker warrants (each a “Broker Warrant”) to the respective finders. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable for one Share at the exercise price of $0.20 for a period of three years.

Prior to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement and the automatic conversion of the Special Warrants, the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering, in addition to any other restrictions under applicable law.

Unit Offering

In this non-brokered private placement (“NBPP”), a total of 3,200,000 units (the “NBPP Units”) were sold for gross proceeds of $480,000. Each NBPP Unit consists of one Share and one Warrant. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of three years following the date of issue. The Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $33,600 to a certain finder, being 7% of the gross proceeds raised. As additional compensation, the Company issued an aggregate of 224,000 Broker Warrants to the finder. The securities issued in connection with the NBPP will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The net proceeds from the Offering and the NBPP will be used for Canwell prospect drilling and Eureka deposit drilling at the Nikolai Nickel Project in Alaska, metallurgical studies on drill cores from the Eureka deposit, working capital, as well as for marketing purposes.
