finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that due to strong investor interest it has increased the size of its non-brokered private placement (the " Private Placement "), previously announced on May 26, 2025 to raise up to $1,700,000 . The Private Placement will consist of the issuance of any combination of: (i) common shares of the Company to be issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act ( Canada ) (each, a " FT Share ") at a price of $0.11 per FT Share, and (ii) non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a " NFT Unit ") at a price of $0.10 per NFT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,700,000 . The Private Placement is subject to a minimum offering amount of $500,000 to be raised through any combination of FT Shares and NFT Units.
The Company also announces that it will use the gross proceeds from the issuance of FT Shares to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act ( Canada ).
Each NFT Unit will be comprised of one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a " NFT Share ") and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant "). Each Warrant will be exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one NFT Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per NFT Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the Warrant (the " Warrant Expiry Date "), subject to acceleration. The Warrant Expiry Date may, at the Company's sole discretion, be accelerated if at any time following the Closing Date (as defined herein), the common shares of the Company trade at a daily volume-weighted average trading price above $0.30 per common share for a period of 30 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ") or on such other stock exchange where the majority of the trading occurs (the " Trading Target ") and the Company provides notice to the Warrant holders by way of press release announcing that such Trading Target has been achieved, provided that the accelerated expiry date of the Warrants falls on the earlier of (unless exercised by the holder prior to such date) (the " Accelerated Expiry Date "): (i) the 30th day after the Company provides notice to the Warrant holders of its intention to accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date; and (ii) the Warrant Expiry Date. The failure of the Company to give notice in respect of a Trading Target will not preclude the Company from giving notice of any subsequent Trading Target. All Warrants that remain unexercised following the Accelerated Expiry Date shall immediately expire and all rights of holders of such Warrants shall be terminated without any compensation to such holders.
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration of the Company's SAY, JJB and Silver Hope properties, and for general working capital purposes, as more particularly described in the amended and restated offering document.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, the Private Placement is being conducted pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and in reliance on the Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption .

The Company may pay finder's fees in cash and securities to certain arm's length finders engaged in connection with the Private Placement, subject to the approval of the TSXV.

All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "project", "target", "potential", "schedule", "forecast", "budget", "estimate", "intend" or "believe" and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might" occur.

Although Finlay believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the ability to obtain regulatory approval for the Private Placement, the state of equity markets in Canada and other jurisdictions, market prices, exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions.
