Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) (‘Ramp Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the ‘Financing’) for total proceeds of $4,937,125.58. The Financing was led by Eric Sprott and EarthLabs.

The Company plans to use the proceeds from the issuance of CFT Shares for exploration expenses at its Rottenstone SW property in Saskatchewan, Canada. The proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for both exploration expenses and general working capital.

All securities issued in the Financing are subject to a hold period in Canada until December 10, 2024, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The CFT Shares will qualify as ‘flow-through shares’ (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘Tax Act’). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the CFT Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i) ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ (as defined in the Tax Act), (ii) as ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act), and (iii) as ‘eligible flow-through mining expenditures’ within the meaning of The Mineral Exploration Tax Credit Regulations, 2014 (Saskatchewan) (collectively, the ‘Qualifying Expenditures’).
