Torq Raises C$5.3M in Concurrent Offerings

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2024 / Torq Resources Inc. (TSXV:TORQ)(OTCQX:TRBMF) ("Torq" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced concurrent public and private offerings of equity securities (the "Offering"). The Company issued 23,206,860 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of C$0.23 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$5,337,577.80 including C$1,305,999.80 in a concurrent private placement to Gold Fields Atacama Holdings Inc. ("Gold Fields"), a wholly owned affiliate of the international major mining company, Gold Fields Limited. This brings Gold Fields ownership of Torq to 15.48%, an increase from its initial position of 15.05%.

The Company has issued a total of 23,206,860 common shares, 23,206,860 investor warrants and 1,084,814 agents compensation warrants. The investor warrants have a three-year term to January 4, 2027, the warrants issued to Gold Fields have up to an additional 24 months and the agents compensation warrants have a two-year term to January 4, 2026. All investor warrants have an exercise price of C$0.30, and the agents compensation warrants have an exercise price of C$0.23. The units issued to Gold Fields, as well as the underlying warrants and shares and the agents compensation warrants issued in connection with the private offering, are subject to a 4-month resale restricted period, while the other investor securities are not restricted for resale in Canada. The proposed use of proceeds from these financings is for exploration at Torq's Santa Cecilia gold-copper project in Chile and for general corporate and working capital purposes, as disclosed in the Company's amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 22, 2023. Paradigm Capital Inc. and Red Cloud Securities Inc. acted as co-lead agents for the public offering, and Beacon Securities Limited acted as a member of the syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents"). In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agents a cash fee of C$249,507.17, in addition to the agents compensation warrants, together with a 4% fee to a third-party advisor in connection with the Gold Fields portion.

Three directors of the Company purchased an aggregate of 575,000 Units in the Offering for a total of C$132,250. Their participation, together with the Gold Fields portion, collectively constitutes "related party transactions" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the securities acquired by the insiders was less than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD,

Shawn Wallace
CEO
