(CSE:COMT)(OTC PINK:CLLMF)(FSE:TO1) (the "Company" or "Collective Metals") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 34,333,333 units of the Company, consisting of any combination of non-flow-through units (each, a "HD Unit") and flow-through units (each, a "FT Unit" and, together with the HD Units, the "Units"), at a price of $0.015 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $515,000 (the "Offering").

Each HD Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on the Rocas project and the Company's other exploration projects. The Company will renounce all Qualifying Expenditures to the subscribers of the FT Units with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026. The net proceeds from the sale of HD Units will be used for exploration of the Rocas project and the Company's other exploration projects, and for general working capital purposes.
