Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 3, 2025) - Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) ("Arya" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news release dated June 23, 2025:
- It has closed its follow-on private placement (the "Second Placement") of flow-through shares, issuing 866,666 flow-through shares at a price of $0.15 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $130,000. No finder's fees were paid in connection with the Second Placement. The securities issued are subject to a hold period that expires on October 31, 2025.
Insider Participation
Directors and officers of the Company subscribed for a total of 433,333 flow-through shares in the Second Placement, representing approximately 1.12% of the 38,669,829 issued and outstanding common shares on closing.
The insider participation in the Second Placement constitutes a "related-party transaction" under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and the Company is relying upon the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements contained in sections 5.5(a), (b) and (c), and 5.7(1)(a) and (b), respectively, of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the subject matter nor of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as it involves related parties, exceeds 25% of the issuer's market capitalization; that no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on certain exchanges or markets specified in MI 61-101; and that the transaction involves a distribution of securities for cash. For the purposes of certain of those exemptions, neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, the related parties, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.
Use of Proceeds
Flow-through proceeds will directly fund exploration work on Arya's Saskatchewan-based mineral projects, including its flagship Wedge Lake Gold Project, where the Company holds full permits to commence drilling as announced in its March 19, 2025, news release.
