Thunder Bay – Mining – Wolfden Resources Corporation(WLF.V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”) announces an update to its non-brokered private placement financing previously announced on November 28, 2022. The proposed private placement will now consist of up to 12,857,142 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares“) issued at a price of C$0.21 per Common Share for gross proceeds of up to $2.7 million (the “Offering“).
As previously disclosed, the majority of the proceeds from the Offering will be used to continue exploration and development of the Company’s 100%-owned Pickett Mountain high-grade polymetallic deposit in Maine, USA.
The Offering is expected to close in multiple tranches on or about December 30, 2022 and is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. No compensation is expected to be paid in respect of the Offering. The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Certain prospective investors are insiders of the Company and there participation in the Offering will be considered to be “related party transactions” within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). Unless there is an exemption, the Company would be required to obtain a formal valuation and “minority approval”, being approval of disinterested shareholders of the Company.
The Company intends to rely on the exemption from a formal valuation in available in section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and the exemption from minority approval available in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.
