NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES
TORONTO, ON AND SANTIAGO, CHILE / ACCESS Newswire / July 10, 2026 / Tintina Mines Limited (TSXV:TTS) ("Tintina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$91 million, at a price of C$0.68 per Subscription Receipt, as previously described in the Company's news releases dated June 2, 2026 and July 2, 2026. The Subscription Receipts were issued on July 9, 2026, and the gross proceeds of the Offering are being held in escrow pending satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below).
The Offering was anchored by a newly formed investment vehicle (the "Anchor Investor") funded equally by Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo"), a leading Fortune Global 500 integrated trading and business investment company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and the Gignac family, founders of G Mining Services Inc. ("G Mining Services"), a Canadian mining development company with an established track record of project delivery. The Offering also included cornerstone participation from Franco-Nevada Corporation, a leading gold-focused royalty and streaming company, and a broader group of strategic, institutional and other investors assembled by G Mining Capital Inc. ("GMC"), a Canadian mining investment platform whose principal shareholders are the Gignac family and Sumitomo. The Offering included participation from a broad investor base, including strategic and institutional investors, retail investors and global asset managers. Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as finder in connection with approximately C$17 million of Subscription Receipts issued under the Offering, in consideration for which it received a 5% cash finder's fee from the Company.
Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used to advance the Domeyko Sulfuros copper-gold project (the "Project") toward a final investment decision ("FID"), including preliminary economic assessment optimisation, infill and exploration drilling, environmental baseline studies, permitting, community engagement and the preparation of a definitive feasibility study, and to fund the acquisition of the remaining 26.25% minority interest in Tintina's Chilean operating subsidiary, Andean Belt Resources SpA ("ABR"), for aggregate cash consideration of US$26.25 million (the "Minority Acquisition").
The principal conditions for the release of the proceeds of the Offering to the Company and the simultaneous exchange of the Subscription Receipts for their underlying securities of the Company (the "Escrow Release Conditions") are the completion of the Minority Acquisition (subject only to the payment of the purchase price owing thereunder), the receipt of all requisite regulatory and the receipt of all requisite shareholder approvals (the "Shareholder Approvals"). An annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of Tintina (the "Meeting") has been scheduled for August 21, 2026, in order to seek the Shareholder Approvals.
The Subscription Receipts, the securities issuable upon exchange thereof, and the Common Shares (as defined below) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to applicable resale restrictions, including a hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Offering under Canadian securities rules. Such securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the "United States" or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws or an available exemption from such registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Management Commentary
Mr. Juan Enrique Rassmuss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tintina, stated - "This is an important step for Tintina and for Domeyko Sulfuros. The Project has the scale, location and geological potential to become a meaningful copper-gold development opportunity, and this financing brings in the partners and capital required to move it into its next phase. We believe this transaction provides a clear path to consolidate ownership of the Project and advance Domeyko Sulfuros toward FID."
Claude Dufresne, Chief Executive Officer of GMC, stated - "The successful closing of this financing is a defining milestone for G Mining Capital and a strong foundation for the development of Domeyko Sulfuros. The Project is exactly the type of high-quality copper opportunity GMC was established to pursue, and we look forward to working with Tintina, Sumitomo, the Gignac family and the broader investor group to advance it toward FID."

Immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, the Anchor Investor did not beneficially own or control any securities of the Company.
Immediately following the closing of the Offering, the Anchor Investor beneficially owns and controls 71,030,000 Subscription Receipts.

In accordance with applicable securities laws, the Anchor Investor may, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional Common Shares and/or other equity, debt or other securities or instruments (collectively, the "Securities") of the Company in the open market or otherwise, and the Anchor Investor reserves the right to dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise at any time and from time to time, and to engage in similar transactions with respect to the Securities, the whole depending on market conditions, the business and prospects of the Company and other relevant factors.
