(CSE:IRV; OTCQX: IRVRF) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its private placement with Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) and concurrent private placement of units (the “Unit Placement”), both announced in the Company’s news release of June 20, 2022.

Newmont invested US$4,400,000 (the “2022 Newmont Placement”) by way of the issuance of 4,577,788 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of C$1.23 per share.

In addition, gross proceeds of C$2,974,540 were raised under the Unit Placement by the issuance of 2,974,540 units (the “Units”) at a price of C$1.00 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of a share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of C$1.60 per share for a period of three years. Cash finder’s fees totaling C$29,400 were paid in connection with the Unit Placement.

Irving welcomes Crescat Portfolio Management LLC (“Crescat”), an investment manager in the United States, as lead strategic investor in the Unit Placement. Crescat’s C$1 million investment, together with Newmont’s continuing financial support, places Irving in a strong position to advance its exploration programs.
