Stratabound Announces Closing of First Tranche of Private Placement

Stratabound Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SB) (“Stratabound” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) which was first announced on February 20, 2018.

The Company has issued 3,830,036 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.055 per Unit for gross proceeds of $210,652.  Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one common share at $0.08 for 24 months from the date of issue. As noted previously, the Company’s major shareholder has subscribed for the lead order of the Private Placement.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period through July 27, 2018 in accordance with applicable securities legislation. Fees of $4,929.50 and 86,100 non-transferable finder warrants (exercisable for one common share at $0.055 for 18 months from the date of issue) were paid in respect of the first tranche of the Private Placement. A total of 1,230,000 Units were purchased under the existing shareholder exemption. As previously mentioned, the funds raised in the Private Placement are being used for the Golden Culvert and Little Hyland option acquisition and of general working capital purposes.

The Company continues to receive subscriptions for the remaining approximately 3.4 million Units of the Private Placement offering, and expects to close the final tranche of the Private Placement in early April.

Kim Tyler, Stratabound’s president and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to have closed the first $210,000 of the Private Placement, and we continue to receive strong interest in the Company and the Golden Culvert project. We have an exceptional project in the right location with the right geology and the right management team. Once we can get on the ground in May to start our exploration program, we expect to have good exploration success. We have exceptional showings and soil geochemistry that demonstrate that we have above-average opportunities to discovery a new major gold deposit.”
