TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 3, 2022 / Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Magna Terra") (TSXV:MTT) is pleased to announce that it has completed a first closing of its non-brokered private placement (see press release dated May 18, 2022) of gross proceeds totalling $858,000.

In this initial closing, the Company has issued 4,450,000 Premium Flow-Through Units ("PFT Units") at a price of $0.14 per PFT Unit; and 2,350,000 Hard Dollar Units ("HD Units") at a price of $0.10 per HD Unit.

Each PFT Unit consists of one (1) flow-through common share of the company and one half (1/2) of one flow-through common share purchase warrant. Each full flow-through common share purchase warrant will be exercisable for an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 for 24 months from the date of issuance.

Each HD Unit consists of one (1) common share of the company and one half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant. Each full common share purchase warrant will be exercisable for an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 for 24 months from the date of issuance.

The warrants issued in conjunction with this Offering will be subject to an Acceleration Clause, four (4) months plus one (1) day after the Closing Date of the Private Placement, whereby the Acceleration Clause will be in effect if the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than $0.35 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, entitling the Company to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants such that the holders of the warrants shall have a period of thirty (30) days to exercise the warrants upon deemed receipt of the Acceleration Notice.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of PFT Units will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that are "flow-through mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Company's mineral exploration projects, in southern New Brunswick and western Newfoundland. The proceeds from the issuance of HD Units will be used for general working capital purposes.

In connection with this initial closing of the Private Placement, the Company paid $19,600 in finder's fees and issued 196,000 finders warrants exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.15 for 24 months from the date of issuance, and which are subject to the above mentioned acceleration clause; as permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

An Insider of the Company participated in the first closing by acquiring 1,400,000 HD Units of the Company for total gross proceeds of $140,000. This subscription is considered to be a "related party transaction" for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions("MI 61-101"). The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the participation therein by such "related party" of the Company was not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (Issuer Not Listed on a Specified Market). Additionally, the Company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 (Fair Market Value Not More Than $2,500,000).

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a regulatory four month and one day hold period. It is anticipated that a second and final closing will occur on or before June 24, 2022. The Private Placement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
