(TSXV: SKRR)(FRE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed an over-subscribed previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,580,951 from the sale of 12,090,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of C$0.10 per FT Unit and 4,375,895 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of C$0.085 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") and one half of one Warrant.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for the exploration of the Company's projects in Saskatchewan and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures"), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2021 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid aggregate cash finder's fees of $52,496.50 and issued 529,900 non-transferable common share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.14 per common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period from the closing date in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as FT Units and Units were purchased by a senior officer and a director of the Company. The issuances of the securities to the two insiders of the Company are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) as the Company's common shares are not listed on a specified market and the fair market value of these securities do not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
