Vancouver, B.C. – November 22, 2022 – Temas Resources Corp.(“Temas” or the “Company”) [CSE: TMAS] is pleased to announce that the Company has closed a non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”), issuing 4,375,000 flow-through units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.08 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $350,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “FT Share”), each of which will qualifies as a “flow-through share” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of three (3) years from the closing date.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing for exploration activities incurred on its Quebec iron-titanium-vanadium projects, expected to be primarily drilling. The gross proceeds raised from the sale of Units will only be used to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) on the Company’s Quebec mineral iron-titanium-vanadium projects.
The Company paid Qwest Investment Fund Management Ltd. (the “Finder”) cash fees of $14,000 and issued 175,000 Warrants to the Finder (the “Finders Warrants”) as compensation for introducing the purchasers of Units to the Company. The Finders Warrants entitles the holder thereof to purchase common shares at an exercise price of $0.08 for a period of three (3) years.
The Warrants include an acceleration clause which will provide that, in the event that the closing price of the Purchaser’s common shares on the CSE, or such other relevant exchange, is equal to or greater than C$0.20 per share for a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, the Company may provide holders of the Warrants with written notice that holders have thirty (30) days within which to exercise the Warrants on the original terms.
All securities issued pursuant to the Financing are subject to a statutory four-month and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws of Canada.
Temas also wishes to announce that it has closed two non-brokered private placements (the “Private Placements”) of an aggregate of 900,000 common shares, 700,000 at a price of $0.063 per common share and 200,000 at a price of $0.0612 per common share. The Private Placements constituted drawdowns of the $5 million equity investment facility with Crescita Capital LLC.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors
Temas Resource Corp. prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to mineral resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended (“CIM Standards”). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”, which are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.
U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are “substantially similar” to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that Temas may report as “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had Temas Resource Corp. prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
NEITHER THE CSE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
