McLaren Resources Closes $420,070 Financing
Toronto, September 29, 2022 - McLaren Resources Inc. (CSE: MCL) (FSE: 3ML) ("McLaren" / the "Company") announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement financing consisting of flow-through share units (the "Flow-Through Units") for gross proceeds of $420,070. The Company has issued a total of 6,001,000 Flow-Through Units under the financing. The Flow-Through Units were issued at a price of $0.07 per unit, with each Flow-Through Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of McLaren issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.

The Company also announces that it has granted options to purchase 600,000 common shares of McLaren to service providers. The common share purchase options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
