Aldebaran Resources Inc. (TSXV:ALDE) (" Aldebaran " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered unit private placement offering (the " Offering "). An aggregate of 20,858,573 units (the " Units ") were sold under the Offering at a price of $0.45 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $9,386,358. Each Unit consists of one common share (" Common Shares ") in the capital of the Company and one-half of one warrant (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.70 until May 3, 2023. All dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in Canadian currency.

The Company's two largest shareholders, being Sibanye Stillwater Limited (" Sibanye Stillwater ") and certain funds controlled by Route One Investment Company LLC (" Route One "), have each exercised their rights under their respective Investment Agreements with the Company to subscribe for their pro-rata share of the Offering. Route One currently owns approximately 46.34% of the outstanding Common Shares and Sibanye Stillwater owns approximately 19.90%. Management of the Company subscribed for approximately 5.33% of the Offering.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used towards the ongoing drill program at the Company's Altar copper-gold project in Argentina, and for general corporate purposes. The Company is currently executing a drill program at Altar, targeting deeper extensions of known higher-grade mineralization. The Company intends to continue to drill until the end of the field season, which is typically in May.

The Units were offered and sold by way of private placement exemptions in various provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions, and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. An aggregate of $132,438 and 294,308 broker's warrants (issued on the same terms as the Warrants) was paid to certain finders, including Paradigm Capital Inc., in respect to portions of the Offering. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring on September 3, 2021.

As noted above, certain insiders of Aldebaran acquired securities in the Offering. Any such participation would be considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101.

About Aldebaran Resources Inc.

Aldebaran is a mineral exploration company that was spun out of Regulus Resources Inc. in 2018 and has the same core management team. Aldebaran acquired the Rio Grande copper-gold project located in Salta Province, Argentina from Regulus along with several other early-stage projects in Argentina. Aldebaran also has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina from Sibanye Stillwater. The Altar project hosts multiple porphyry copper-gold deposits with potential for additional discoveries. Altar forms part of a cluster of world-class porphyry copper deposits which includes Los Pelambres (Antofagasta Minerals), El Pachon (Glencore), and Los Azules (McEwen Mining). A total of 259 drill holes (119,052 m) have been completed at Altar between 1995 and 2019. In March 2021 the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Altar, prepared by Independent Mining Consultants Inc. and based on the drilling completed up to and including 2020. The Company is in the process of finalizing the NI 43-101 Technical Report and will file it on SEDAR once completed. Aldebaran's primary focus is the Altar project with a view to discovering new zones with higher-grade mineralization.

Overview

Argentina is moving up the ladder as one of the hottest mining jurisdictions in the world. With new legislation and pro-mining support from the national government, investors should expect to see an uptick in exciting mineral exploration and project development opportunities, especially in the mining friendly provinces within the South American country.

Argentina sits along the Andes mountain range giving it access to one of the world’s metal-rich jurisdictions. In 2021, Argentina created a program to incentivize production for exports, facilitating the flow of foreign currency companies that would be allowed to send abroad for loan and dividend payments. This program comes at a prime time as Argentine authorities estimate that the country could triple its mining exports from US$3.4 billion in 2019 to US$10 billion by 2030. Copper, lithium, gold and silver mining especially present exciting investment opportunities for potential investors in the coming years.

NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES XRF HIGH-GRADE RESULTS UP TO 18.27% COPPER FROM THE UPCOMING DRILL AREA AT THE WEDGE PROJECT, BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. has released XRF (X-ray fluorescence) results for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization grab samples collected from the coming drill area on the Wedge VMS project in the world-famous Bathurst mining camp (BMC) in New Brunswick, Canada. Discovered in 1956, Cominco operated the Wedge mine between 1962 and 1968, producing 1.5 million tonnes of predominantly copper ore. At the time of closure (head pillar collapsed), only the upper portion of the deposit was mined. The expectation is that the lower 60 per cent plus remains untouched based upon recent drill testing and extends at depth with the 3-D modelling.
