TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - O3 Mining Inc. (TSXV:OIII, "O3 Mining" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, 2,400,000 common shares of the Corporation that will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)) ("Flow-Through Shares"). The 2,400,000 Flow-Through Shares will be issued at a price of C$4.20 per Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10,080,000 (the "Offering"), representing an approximate 61.5% premium to the closing price of the Corporation's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on September 3, 2019.

In addition, the Corporation has agreed to grant the Underwriters an option (the "Underwriters' Option") to sell up to an additional 360,000 Flow-Through Shares, at a price of C$4.20 per share, for additional gross proceeds to the Corporation of up to C$1,512,000. The Underwriters' Option is exercisable up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date (as defined herein) of the Offering.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Corporation to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Corporation's projects in Québec. The Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of Flow-Through Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2019 and in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of Flow-Through Shares.

The Offering is being made by way of private placement in Canada. The Flow-Through Shares will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. The offering is expected to close on or about September 26, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the customary closing conditions and the conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
