TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paycore Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CORE) ("Paycore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has entered into an amending agreement with PI Financial Corp. and CIBC Capital Markets (collectively, the "Lead Underwriters"), as lead underwriters and co-bookrunners, on their own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together with the Lead Underwriters, the "Underwriters") to increase the size of the previously announced bought deal financing to an aggregate of 9,820,000 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price of $1.63 per Share (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of $16,006,600 (the "Offering").
In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriter an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, on the same terms as the Offering, to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes.

Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about February 9, 2023 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Shares to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Shares may also be offered in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended, (the "U.S. Securities Act"), in a manner that does not require the Offering to be registered in the United States, and in certain other jurisdictions in accordance with applicable securities laws.
