 THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES


(Calgary, AB): Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”)announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement ‎of up to 7,500,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.40 per Unit (the “Unit Offering”), and of up to 4,444,444 flow-through units of the Company (the “FT Units”) at a price of $0.45 per FT Unit, for total gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (collectively, the “Offering”).‎

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.55 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months after the closing date.

Each FT Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Warrant, a “FT ‎Warrant”), with each ‎whole FT Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one ‎Common Share (each, a “FT Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.55 per ‎FT Warrant Share for a period of 24 months after the closing date.

Each FT Share and each FT Warrant will qualify as a “flow-through ‎share” as defined in the subsection 66(15) of ‎the Income Tax Act ‎‎‎(Canada) (the “Tax Act”). The net proceeds from the issue of the Units will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Tax Act to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s projects in Saskatchewan, on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2023. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Unit subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

The Offering is expected to close on or about May 12, 2023, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”), the Units issuable under the Unit Offering will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada and/or other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”). Because the Unit Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the securities issued to Canadian resident subscribers in the Unit Offering will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The FT Units issued under the Offering are offered by way of private placement in such provinces and/or territories of Canada as may be determined by the Company, in each case pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The securities underlying the FT Units will be subject to a hold period which will expire four months and one day from the date of the applicable closing of the Offering.

The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States ‎Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or ‎sold in the United States absent registration or available exemptions from such registration ‎requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to acquire securities in any ‎jurisdiction.‎

There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at https://tractionuranium.com/. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.
