(the "Company" or "Traction") (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Red Cloud Securities Inc. (the "Agent") to act as sole agent and bookrunner in connection with a best efforts, private placement (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000 from the sale of any combination of flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of C$0.40 per FT Unit and FT Units to be sold to charitable purchasers (each, a "Charity FT Unit", and collectively with the FT Units, the "Offered Securities") at a price of C$0.51 per Charity FT Unit.
Each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

The Agent will have an option, exercisable in full or in part, up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to sell up to an additional C$500,000 in any combination of Offered Securities at the offering prices.
Proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.
The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering for exploration of the Company's Hearty Bay, Lazy Edward Bay and Key Lake South uranium projects located in the Athabasca Basin. The Offering is scheduled to close on or around October 27, 2022 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
