Green Light Metals Closes Private Placement and Announces Management Update

Medford, Wisconsin--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2024) - Green Light Metals Inc. ("GreenLight" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed, on a non-brokered basis, the first tranche of a private placement of 3,380,000 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of C$0.25 per Share for gross proceeds of C$845,000 (the "Offering"). The Company will seek to close one or more additional tranches over the coming weeks.

In connection with closing of the Offering, 200,000 Shares were subscribed for by related parties of the Company (as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")). The participation of the related parties in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company is relying upon exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the Company is not listed on a specified market set out in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101.

In addition, two directors of the Company who had previously provided short-term working capital loans to the Company totaling C$50,000 (the "Loans") elected to convert their Loan principal and interest into Shares on the same terms as the Offering. A total of 202,004 Shares were issued on conversion of the Loans.

The securities issued in connection with the Offering and the Loans are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the closing date of April 18, 2024, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

ABOUT GREENLIGHT

GreenLight's mission is to expand known mineral resources and make new discoveries on one of North America's most prolific yet underexplored volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") greenstone belts - the Penokean Volcanic Belt (the "Belt") in Wisconsin, USA. The Belt's deposits are rich in the clean energy metals copper and zinc, as well as gold, that are required to power the imminent green, low carbon economy. The Company's strategy is to capitalize on its first mover advantage to consolidate, secure, and drill dominant land positions.

GreenLight is committed to operating in a responsible and sustainable manner that benefits our local communities, bolsters national security, and assists in building and securing crucial US supply chains, all while protecting the environment. The Company has established an Environment, Sustainability, and Communities Committee and is fully committed to transparency, accountability, environmental stewardship, safety and community engagement.

The Company's key assets on the Belt are the Reef gold-copper and Bend copper-gold properties, each of which contains known historical resources with the potential for expansion. In addition, with the closing of the amalgamation with Can-America Minerals Inc. on July 25, 2022, the Company controls two additional prospective properties in Wisconsin - Lobo and Lobo East. GreenLight has also secured rights to the high-priority Swede anomaly located on the Southern Greenstone Belt. Outside of Wisconsin, the Company controls rights to the Kalium Canyon property, an exciting epithermal gold prospect located in the Walker Lane district of Nevada.
