Giyani Increases Size of Previously Announced Private Placement Financing

OAKVILLE, Sept. 11, 2020 - Giyani Metals Corp. (TSXV:EMM, GR:A2DUU8) ("Giyani" or the "Company") announces today that it is increasing the size of its previously announced private placement financing from $1.0 million to $1.2 million.

The Company's partly brokered private placement of units will now consist of 9,600,000 units priced at $0.125 per unit to accredited investors and other exempt purchasers, with each unit consisting of one (1) common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one half (?) of one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 18 months from the closing of the private placement (the "Offering").

To date the Company has received subscription agreements totalling approximately $1,100,000. This includes received director, officer and insider subscriptions totalling approximately $280,000.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has retained Tactex Asset Management Inc. ("Tactex"). Tactex is entitled to receive a 6% cash commission on the aggregate dollar amount of subscriptions for units provided by Tactex as well as agent's warrants equal to 6% of the number of units purchased by eligible investors provided by Tactex. The agent's warrants will be exercisable with an exercise price of $0.125 per unit. The securities to be issued to Tactex will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period from their date of issuance.

Completion of the private placement remains subject to receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and subject to receiving that approval, the closing on received subscriptions is expected on or about September 17, 2020. Securities issued in the private placement will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period from their date of issuance.

Robin Birchall, CEO of Giyani Metals Corp. commented:

"We are delighted with the additional demand in this placing. We are very appreciative of the support from our existing shareholders, especially RAB Capital. This will enable us to expand some of our upcoming workstreams, for which we will update the market in due course."
