(TSX-V: SCD) (OTC: SCDCF) (the "Corporation") announces that it has closed its previously announce non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $226,849.98 (the "Offering"). The Offering consisted of the issuance of a total of 6,028,392 units of the Corporation (the "Units"), being 2,857,142 Units at a price of $0.035 per Unit and 3,171,250 Units at a price of $0.04 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") and one Common Share purchase warrant (the "Warrants").

The Corporation also announces its intention to close a second tranche of the Offering of Units at a price of $0.04 per Unit on or prior to August 26, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be mainly used by the Corporation for general and corporate working capital purposes.

The Common Shares and the Warrants issued pursuant to this Offering are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and one day, ending on December 14, 2024, under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the Exchange.

Under the Offering, an insider of the Corporation purchased a total of 500,000 Units for a total consideration of $20,000 which constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Regulation 61?101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("Regulation 61-101") and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction. However, the directors of the Corporation who voted in favor of the Offering have determined, based on advice from counsel and management, that the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for respectively under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101 can be relied on as neither the fair market value of the Units issued to the insider nor the fair market value of the consideration paid exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization. None of the Corporation's directors has expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. A material change report concerning this related party transaction will be filed by the Corporation.
