PTX METALS INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST CLOSINGS OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

PTX Metals Inc. has completed the first closing (with additional closings anticipated to be completed today and next week) of its previously disclosed non-brokered private placement of hard-dollar units and flow-through shares (see news releases dated April 8, 2026, and April 14, 2026), raising gross proceeds of $3,066,549. Under the first closings, the company issued a total of 22,076,000 flow-through shares at a price of 12.5 cents per FT share for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,759,500 and a total of 4,427,727 hard-dollar units at a price of 11 cents per HD unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $487,049.97.

In addition, the company paid a total of $173,043.50 in finders' fees and issued a total of 1,344,731 finder' warrants to eligible finders. Each finder warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share at a price of 12.5 cents (subject to adjustment) for a period of two years following the issuance of the finders' warrants.

Each HD unit consists of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a price of 18 cents for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. No fractional warrants will be issued, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional warrants. The warrants are subject to an acceleration provision, whereby the company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at or above 40 cents for more than 20 consecutive trading days in accordance with the terms of the warrants.

The company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the units for general corporate expenses and working capital purposes and to use the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT shares to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses as defined in Subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) that qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act related to the company's projects in Ontario. The qualifying expenditures will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2027, and will be renounced by the company to the purchasers with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2026, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT shares.

The FT shares and HD units were issued pursuant to the accredited investor exemption. As such, the FT shares, the securities underlying the HD units and the finders' warrants are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Financing increase

The company also announced today that it will increase the size of its FT share financing from up to $3.5-million to up to $3.75-million. The size of the HD unit financing remains unchanged at up to $2-million.
