CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2023 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/A2PE64), is pleased to announce that it has closed a second tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of Units ("Units") for gross proceeds of $306,150 (the "Offering"). The Offering of the second tranche consisted of the issuance of an aggregate of 680,333 Units at a price of $0.45 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share in the capital of the Company at a price of CAD $0.60 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering, subject to the accelerated expiry provisions described in the notes below.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash commissions to arm's length finders who assisted with the Offering of approximately $15,165 and issued 33,700 finder warrants ("Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.45 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the closing of the Offering. After giving effect to this tranche, a total of $675,150 has been raised, exceeding the original target of $500,000.

The company currently has 42,339,441 Common Shares outstanding.

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the raise will go towards the advancement of the Pilar Au-Ag project in Sonora, Mexico, with a primary focus on the initial cash payment for the expansion acquisition around Pilar (see News Release October 18, 2023) and accelerating the permitting and drilling initiatives leading towards resource development. Further drill targeting at Pilar and El Picacho projects will be carried out to advance additional resource evaluation.

Notes On the Offering

If, on any 10 consecutive trading days occurring after four months and one day has elapsed following the closing date of the Offering, the closing sales price of the Shares (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported on a trading day) as quoted on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("Exchange") is greater than CAD $0.75 per Common Share, the Company may provide notice in writing to the holders of the Warrants by issuance of a press release that the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to the 30^th day after the date on which the Company issues such press release.

Closing of the Offering is subject to several conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the Canadian Securities Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada. The proceeds from the Offering will also be used for general working capital.

The Existing Shareholder Exemption and Investment Dealer Exemption

The Offering was also made available to existing shareholders of the Company who, as of the close of business on November 1, 2023, held common shares of the Company (and who continue to hold such common shares as of the closing date), pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in Alberta Securities Commission Rule 45-513 - Prospectus Exemption for Distribution to Existing Security Holders and in similar instruments in other jurisdictions in Canada. The existing shareholder exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the existing shareholder exemption exceeding the maximum amount of the financing, the Company intends to adjust the subscriptions received on a pro rata basis.

The Company has also made the Offering available to certain subscribers pursuant to the investment dealer exemption. In accordance with the requirements of the investment dealer exemption, the Company confirms that there is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
