Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 21, 2022) –  iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement of up to $1,000,000 (the “Financing”) raising $999,999.925 through the issuance of 11,764,705 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.085 per Unit. (See news release of August 23, 2022.) Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of iMining at a price of $0.21 per share for a period of 2 years, provided that in the event the closing price of the Company’s Shares is equal to or greater than $0.40 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may, by notice to the Warrant holders (which notice may be by way of general news release), reduce the remaining exercise period of the Warrants to not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

Khurram Shroff and Saleem Moosa, directors, officers and ‘insiders’ of the Company, purchased 941,176 and 1,404,708 Units, respectively, in the Financing and the Financing is therefore considered to be a “related party transaction”, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange, which require that the Company, in the absence of exemptions, obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the related party transaction. However, the Offering is exempt: (i) from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 (and Policy 5.9) pursuant to the exemption contained in section 5.5(a) and (e) of MI 61-101, and (ii) from the shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 (and Policy 5.9) pursuant to the exemption contained in section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 because the fair market value of the securities sold to related parties in the Offering did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance and the resale rules of applicable securities legislation. The Company has 45,010,127 common shares issued and outstanding following the completion of the Financing. No aggregate compensation was paid by the Company for finders’ fees.
