Search Minerals Closes Private Placement

V.SMY

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV:SMY) (“Search” or the “Company”) announces the close of the third and final tranche of its previously announced private placement.  Further to its news release dated March 20, 2017, May 5, 2017 and June 9, 2017, the Company has completed the third and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) raising gross proceeds of $9,990.00 by the issuance of 111,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.09 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Share”) and one-half of one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.18 per Warrant Share for a period of 12 months from the closing of the Offering. In total, the Company has issued an aggregate of 5,133,166 Units of the Offering for gross proceeds of $461,984.94. The 2,566,583 warrants issued in this private placement will have a July 10, 2018 expiry date.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

About Search Minerals Inc.
Led by a proven management team and board of directors, Search is focused on finding and developing resources within the emerging Port Hope Simpson Critical Rare Earth Element (CREE) District of SE Labrador. The Company controls a belt 70 km long and 8 km wide including its 100% interest in the FOXTROT Project which is road accessible and at tidewater. Exploration efforts have advanced “Deep Fox” and “Fox Meadow” as significant new CREE prospects very similar and in close proximity to the original FOXTROT discovery.  While the Company has identified more than 20 other prospects and continues with its efforts to prove up the District, its primary objective remains development of FOXTROT through identifying a separation partner and continuing to pursue favorable financing and offtake agreements.  The 14-year mine life contemplated in the Preliminary Economic Assessment of FOXTROT completed in April 2016.  The FOXTROT Project has a low capital cost to bring the initial project into production ($152 M - $CDN), a short payback period and is scalable due to Search’s proprietary processing technology.

Cautionary Note: The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have a demonstrated economic viability

About neo-CREOs (Adamas Intelligence – December 2016)                         
We consider neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium to be neo-CREOs because there is a high probability they will be in short supply by 2025, and they are vital to NdFeB magnets used widely in renewable power generation, electric mobility, and energy-efficient technologies.  We consider terbium to be a neo-CREO because upon experiencing shortages of dysprosium, consumers in the magnet industry will rapidly consume available terbium supplies in its place for applications involving renewable power generation, electric mobility and energy efficient technologies.  Lanthanum is considered a neo-CREO because there is a high probability it will be in short supply by 2025 and because it is widely used in catalytic converters and rechargeable batteries, and will be increasingly used as a thermal stabilizer by producers of poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) to minimize lead consumption and improve the energy efficiency of PVC and other processing equipment.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
