VANCOUVER, B.C. August 10, 2022– Highbank Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (TSX.V – “HBK”) announces that it has obtained TSX approval and has now closed a 1st tranche of its private placement and has issued 3,000,000 units at $0.05. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half warrant exercisable at $0.075 in the first year and $0.10 in the second year.

The Company has paid a cash finders fee of $5,600 and issued 112,000 finder warrants exercisable at a price of $0.075 in the first year and $0.10 in the second year.

The securities have been issued having a hold period expiring December 11, 2022.

Two insiders of the Company subscribed for 1,600,000 units. As such, their participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the units acquired by the insiders nor the consideration for the units paid by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing date of the first tranche of the offering as details of the respective participation of such insiders in the offering was unknown at such time.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the financing for working capital.

The Company anticipates closing a 2nd and final tranche on or before August 31, 2022 and will update shareholders as events occur.
