Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 21, 2023) - Canter Resources Corp. (CSE: CRC) (OTC Pink: CNRCF) (FSE: 6O1) ("Canter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of $3,200,700 through the issuance of 6,401,400 units (the "Units") at $0.50 per Unit (the "Offering"). The Company expects to close the final tranche of the Offering in early January 2024.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one transferrable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.70 for a period of two years from the closing of the Offering (the "Expiry Date").

In the event that the closing price of the Shares of the Company on the CSE (or such other stock exchange on which the Shares are traded) is equal to or greater than $0.95 per Share for a period of 5 consecutive trading days during the Warrant exercise period, the Company may at its option elect to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by providing notice to the holders thereof within 10 calendar days following the end of such 5 consecutive trading day period, in which case the Warrants will expire on the date specified in such notice, which shall be not less than 30 calendar days following delivery of such notice.

The Warrants were issued pursuant to a warrant indenture dated December 21, 2023 entered into between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company, as warrant agent.

Joness Lang, CEO and a director of the Company purchased 125,000 Units in the Offering and Brian Goss, a director of the Company, purchased 50,000 Units in the Offering. The participation by such insiders in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The Company paid finder's fees of $96,460 cash and 192,920 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") in connection with the closing of the first tranche of the Offering. The Finder's Warrants are exercisable at $0.50 per Share until the Expiry Date.

The Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering to complete Phase I drilling and exploration work at the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project, evaluate and stake additional claims prospective for critical metals, and for general corporate purposes, including salaries, consulting fees, legal and accounting fees, and investor relations expenses.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
