News Release - Vancouver, Canada – February 16, 2024 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSX-V, OTCQB: AZZTF) (“Aztec” or the “Company”) announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 7,333,333 units (the “Units”) at a price of CAD$0.15 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$1,100,000.  Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one transferable common share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of CAD$0.225 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. No finder’s fees were payable with respect to the Private Placement.

Two insiders of the Company subscribed for a total of 283,333 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $42,500 under the Private Placement. Participation by the insiders constitutes a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Private Placement by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration activities on its Tombstone gold-silver & CRD silver-lead-zinc-copper-gold project in Arizona, USA and for general working capital purposes.

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
