AEMC Alaska Energy Metals Corporation

Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF) (“AEMC” or “Alaska Energy Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a non-brokered offering of up to $5 million in a combination of special warrants (the “Special Warrants”) and/or units (the “Units”), to be issued at the price of $0.17 per Special Warrant or Unit, as applicable, (the “Offering”). The Company had previously intended to undertake the Offering at the price of $0.15 per Special Warrant or Unit but was unable to obtain TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) approval to complete an offering at that price.

Each Special Warrant will automatically convert into one Unit of the Company, as described below. 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 $0.225 per Share for a period of three years following the date of issue.

Each Special Warrant 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”), and (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 commissions, prior to the expiry of the statutory four-month hold period.

The Company will pay cash finder’s fees of 7% of the gross proceeds to certain finders. As additional compensation the Company will issue that number of non-transferable broker warrants (each a “Broker Warrant”) as is equal to 7% of the Special Warrants or Units issued. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable for one Share at the exercise price of $0.225 for a period of three years.

The Company anticipates closing the Offering prior to August 31, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

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 Closing Date in addition to any other restrictions under applicable law. Any Units issued directly upon the closing of the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for Canwell prospect and Eureka deposit drilling at the Nikolai Nickel Project in Alaska, metallurgical studies, non-flow through costs associated with the Company’s Angliers-Belleterre nickel project in Quebec, working capital and marketing purposes.

It is anticipated that insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering, and such Special Warrants and/or Units issued to insiders may be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable policies of the TSXV. The issuance of Special Warrants and/or Units to insiders will be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.7(1)(a) in respect of such insider participation as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
