Scandium Canada Announces Closing of First Tranche of a Flow-Through Private Placement of $620,000 and a hard-cash offering

The net proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to update the resources of the TG Zone of the Crater Lake Project following the drilling in the summer of 2024, to complete the report following the geotechnical drilling and, finally, to prepare for the next field work in 2025. Reference the attached press release : Scandium Canada Ltd. Announces diamond drilling results. The gross proceeds of the Offering will not be used for payments to persons not dealing at arm's length with the issuer, nor for payments to persons conducting investor relations. The Corporation does not intend to use more than 10% of the proceeds for any particular purpose.

In connection with the first tranche of the Offering, finder's fees totaling $24,000 were paid to an arm length finder. Flow-Through Shares issued pursuant to this Offering are subject to a restricted hold period of four months and one day, ending on April 20, 2025, under applicable Canadian laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The Corporation also announces its intention to close subsequent tranches of the Offering on or before December 31, 2024, for a maximum total gross proceeds of $750,000 representing the issuance of up to 30,000,000 Flow-Through Shares.

Under the Offering, an insider of the Corporation purchased a total of 400,000 Flow-Through Shares for a total consideration of $10,000 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 insider that participated in the Offering disclosed its interest in the Offering and 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 Flow-Through Shares 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.

HARD-CASH OFFERING

The Corporation also announces its intention to proceed with the closing of a non-brokered hard-cash offering to investors benefiting from a prospectus exemption under Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions for total gross proceeds of up to a maximum of $1,000,000 (the "Hard-Cash Offering"). The Hard-Cash Offering consists of the issuance of up to 50,000,000 common shares in the capital stock of the Corporation (the "Common Shares"), at a price of $0.02 per Common Share.

The gross proceeds of the Hard-Cash Offering from the sale of the Common Shares will be used by the Company primarily for general administrative expenses, including the payment of finder's fees for flow-through share offerings (5%), expenses related to being a reporting issuer and a publicly traded company (15%), as well as various expenses related to private or public offerings to be made by the Company (10%) and management salaries (35%). The gross proceeds of the Hard-Cash Offering will not be used for investor relations purposes. The Common Placement remains subject to TSXV approval.
