Magna Terra Closes Upsized Non-Brokered Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $3.75 Million

Magna Terra upsized its $3.75 million financing to secure exploration capital for its Atlantic Canada and Argentina projects.

Executive Summary

Magna Terra Minerals Inc. closed a previously announced non-brokered private placement on September 22, 2026. The offering was upsized from an initial $2.0 million to $3.75 million due to strong investor demand. Gross proceeds total $3,750,008, comprised of two tranches:

  • 8,421,056 premium flow-through common shares issued at $0.2375 per share.
  • 10,000,000 common shares issued at $0.175 per share.

Proceeds are designated for Canadian exploration expenses qualifying as flow-through mining expenditures across projects in Newfoundland (Humber, Shellbird), New Brunswick (Prospect Or's Dream, Rocky Brook, Cape Spencer), and Argentina (Santa Cruz Province).

Insiders participated in the subscription. Michael Gentile, the largest shareholder, subscribed for 1,285,712 flow-through shares for $305,356.60. Patricia Kajda, a Director, subscribed for 130,194 common shares for $22,783.95. Post-closing ownership stands at 15.6% for Gentile and 0.1% for Kajda, plus RSUs and options.

Finder's fees of $96,663 were paid in cash, accompanied by 552,360 finders warrants exercisable at $0.2375 per share for 24 months. All securities carry a four-month-and-one-day hold period and remain subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Material Impact

Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (MTT) closed an upsized financing of $3.75 million, a routine follow-up to announcements made on September 1 and September 3. The market had already priced in the upsizing, rendering the actual closing event incremental rather than transformative.

Insider participation by Michael Gentile and Patricia Kajda provides a signal of management confidence and aligns shareholder interests. The capital injection extends the company's exploration runway into late 2026 and early 2027, funding critical soil sampling, geophysics, and preparatory work ahead of planned drill programs.

The transaction involves the issuance of approximately 18.4 million new shares. This level of dilution is standard for early-stage explorers funding flow-through expenditures. The transaction does not alter the company's fundamental risk profile or exploration thesis, serving only to execute a previously disclosed capital raise.
