Aztec Minerals Closes $1.1 Million Private Placement Financing

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2023 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) ("Aztec" or the "Company") announces that it has closed a CAD$1.1 million non-brokered private placement equity financing. The private placement consisted of 4,378,168 million common shares of the Company (the "Shares") priced at CAD$0.25 per Share for gross proceeds of CAD$1,094,542 (the "Private Placement"). No warrants were issued, and no finders fees were payable with respect to this Private Placement. The Private Placement included participation by Alamos Gold Inc., sophisticated investors, existing shareholders and a director of Aztec.

Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") (TSX:AGI, NYSE:AGI) participated in the Private Placement with a subscription for 400,000 Shares, for aggregate consideration of $100,000. Prior to the closing of the Private Placement, Alamos held 7,926,089 common shares and 7,926,089 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company. Since Alamos' last Early Warning Report, Aztec completed an acquisition whereby the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares, dropping Alamos' security holding percentage. Consequently, immediately prior to the closing of the Private Placement, Alamos' security holding was 16.16%, on a partially diluted basis, an overall decrease of 1.84% in its security holdings because of Aztec's issuer event. Following the closing of the Private Placement, Alamos holds 8,326,089 common shares and 7,926,089 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company, for a security holding percentage of 15.86% on a partially diluted basis, a further decrease of 0.30% in its security holding resulting in an overall decrease of more than 2% since its last Early Warning Report. Alamos acquired the common shares for investment purposes, which will be evaluated and may be increased or decreased from time to time at Alamos' discretion. A copy of Alamos' Early Warning Report will be available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com or can be requested by contacting Scott K. Parsons, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, at SParsons@alamosgold.com, 416-368-9932 (ext. 5439) or by mail at Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3.

Two insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate 440,000 Shares under the Private Placement, which constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company's common shares are not listed or quoted on any of the markets enumerated therein. The Company has also relied on the exemption from minority shareholder requirement in Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the subscriptions for Shares by the insiders of the Company do not exceed, in aggregate, 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Aztec intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to conduct exploration work on its Cervantes porphyry gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico, and its Tombstone epithermal gold-silver & CRD silver-lead-zinc-copper-gold project in Arizona, USA, as well as for general working capital purposes. The Private Placement is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Private Placement.
