VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 26, 2017) - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES - Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MMG)(OTC PINK:MMNGF) ("Metallic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has raised aggregate proceeds of $550,000 through the issuance of 1.375 million common shares (the "Private Placement") on a flow-through basis ("Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.40 per Flow-Through Share, which represents a greater than 20% premium to the closing price on the TSX-V on June 23, 2017.

Proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses at Metallic's flagship Keno Silver Project located in the Keno Hill Mining District in central Yukon Territory, Canada. 

Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman, noted, "We are pleased to have closed this flow-through private placement which enhances the available funds for drilling on our Keno Silver Project and will enable us to expand these efforts both in terms of metres and locations. The Company launched its 2017 exploration season in late May with the first phase of work focused on targeted geophysical and geochemical surveys, stratigraphic mapping, and trenching to further refine the identified priority targets. Phase 1 drilling is expected to commence upon completion of this initial exploration work and will focus on testing down-dip and along-strike extensions of previously identified mineralization along the known mineralized trends, including at some of the historic producing mines on the property. We anticipate additional news over the coming weeks and months as results are received from our exploration activities and as we continue to assess opportunities to create long-term value for our shareholders." 

The Flow-Through Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring October 23, 2017.

Metallic has agreed to pay a finder's fee of 6% of the gross proceeds and will issue finder's warrants equal to 6% of the Flow-Through Shares sold. Each finder's warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.50 for a period of two years from closing. If, any time after the closing date, the closing price for the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange trades above $0.75 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may provide written notice of acceleration of the expiry date of the finder's warrants. The expiry date for the finder's warrants will thereafter be accelerated to the date a minimum of 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice, or such greater period as the Company may determine.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
