Altiplano Closes First Tranche of Private Placement
April 1, 2025
EDMONTON, March 31, 2025 – Altiplano Metals Inc. (TSXV: APN) (WKN: A2JNFG) (“Altiplano” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) previously announced on February 12, 2025.
The first tranche consisted of 12,785,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of $639,250. Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) common share of the Company at an exercise of $0.075 per common share until March 31, 2027; provided that if the closing market price for the Company's common shares is equal to or greater than C$0.10 per share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days at any point after the first 4 months of the term (the “Acceleration Clause”), then the Company may deliver a notice that the Warrants must be exercised within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such Notice, otherwise the Warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Edmonton time) on the thirty-first (31st) day after the date of delivery of the Notice.
In connection with the sale of these Units, Altiplano paid a total of $12,165 in cash and issued 243,300 finder’s warrants (“Finder’s Warrants”), on the same terms as the Warrants, to an eligible finder for certain of the Units sold.
All securities issued are subject to a hold period until August 1, 2025.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working capital to support the concentrate production cycle at the El Peñón processing facility in Chile; development costs, including a diamond drill program, at Santa Beatriz to outline a short-term production plan, and fund general admin while reviewing additional projects for potential acquisition or alternative mill supply.
The subscriptions by insiders of Altiplano for a portion of the Private Placement are a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but Altiplano is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the subscriptions, insofar as it involves the insiders of Altiplano, does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
Altiplano expects to close a second tranche of this Offering in the near future.
