Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2026) - Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) ("Allied" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche (the "Second Tranche") of its previously announced private placement offering of common shares (the "Offering") in the aggregate amount of U.S.$25 million with Tribeca Investment Partners (the "New Strategic Investor" or "Tribeca") for gross proceeds of U.S.$15 million.
"We are very pleased to welcome Tribeca as a strategic investor. Tribeca has extensive expertise in the metals and mining industry and has been a welcome partner to many mining companies looking to accelerate from exploration to production phase," commented Roy Bonnell, Chief Executive Officer of Allied. "The closing of the Second Tranche paves the way for us to continue to develop our flagship asset, the Borralha Property, as well as the near-term producing Vila Verde Property."
"We start from the position that there are very few world-class tungsten assets. There are even fewer that have the potential for any near-term tungsten concentrate production. We believe the Borralha Property and Vila Verde Property are highly strategic assets that have the potential to be significant contributors to the defense industry and other strategic industries at a time when there is a dramatic shortage of tungsten concentrates," commented Ben Cleary, Portfolio Manager for the Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund and Partner and Director of Tribeca. "We are enthusiastic about supporting Allied as it brings these past-producing tungsten assets back into production. As a shareholder, Tribeca will open its network across the mining and funding community to Allied as it advances the Borralha and Vila Verde Properties."
The Second Tranche was comprised of 10,317,073 common shares of the Company (the "Shares" and each, a "Share") issued at a price of C$2.05 per Share (the "Offering Price"). The Shares were issued in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). The Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day, as required by applicable securities laws and the policies of the CSE.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the development of the Company's Vila Verde pilot project, ongoing exploration and development activities on the Borralha Tungsten Project and for additional working capital.
In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid a finder's fee to Clarus Securities Inc. comprised of a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds raised and broker warrants equal to 5% of the number of Shares issued under the Second Tranche, with each broker warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
