Cordoba Minerals Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of up to $4.5 Million

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2021) - Sarah Armstrong-Montoya, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cordoba Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CDB) (OTCQB: CDBMF) (otherwise "Cordoba" or the "Company") announces that Cordoba intends on completing a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to 4,086,728 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $1.10 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of up to $4.5 million (approximately US$3.7 million).

The Company's majority shareholder, Ivanhoe Electric Inc. ("Ivanhoe Electric"; previously High Power Exploration Inc.1) has agreed to subscribe for approximately 1,823,685 common shares (for gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million) of the Offering (the "Lead Order").

Net proceeds from the Offering will be used to continue the advancement of fieldwork supporting the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study work at the Company's 100%-owned Alacran Copper-Gold-Silver Project in Colombia (refer to Cordoba's news releases dated March 31, 2021 and May 13, 2021) and for general corporate purposes.

"We appreciate the ongoing support of our majority shareholder, which enables us to advance the important and ongoing work on the Alacran Pre-Feasibility Study," commented Ms. Armstrong-Montoya.

Closing of the Offering is expected to be completed in tranches and is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The Company may pay eligible finders assisting in the Offering a fee in cash and/or securities equal to up to 6% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders.

The Common Shares will be offered pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements and will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date and TSX Venture Exchange hold period, as applicable.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (U.S. Securities Act) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Lead Order constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as Ivanhoe Electric is a related party of Cordoba given its greater than 10% beneficial shareholding. Pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders in respect of the Offering due to the fair market value of the Lead Order being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101. The Company will file a material change report in respect of the Offering. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management based on the business and markets in which the Company operates, are inherently subject to significant operational, economic, and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include a deterioration of security on site or actions by the local community that inhibits access and/or the ability to productively work on site, actual exploration results, interpretation of metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, future metal prices, availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms, general economic, market or business conditions, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, delays or inability to receive required approvals, unknown impact related to potential business disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 outbreak, or another infectious illness, and other exploration or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators, including those described under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's most recently filed MD&A.
