TORONTO, Ontario, September 16, 2024 – AFR NuVenture Resources Inc. (“AFR” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: AFR), is pleased to announce that it intends to offer for sale, on a non-
brokered private placement basis, securities of the Company (the “Offering”) consisting of shares
of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $180,038
(“Maximum Proceeds”). The Offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals,
including the approval of the Toronto Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), as well as the satisfaction
of other customary closing conditions. Assuming the Maximum Proceeds are raised, the
Company will issue 18,038,681 Shares.
In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finder’s fees equal to 6% of the gross
proceeds in cash and issue 6% non-transferable warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) to various
registered dealers or finder’s, representing up to 6% of the shares sold through such registered
dealers or finders in the Offering. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase
one (1) AFR Share at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the
closing date of the offering.
The proceeds derived from the sale of the shares will be for general administrative expenses and
working capital. Assuming aggregate gross proceeds are raised, approximately 67% will be used
for Non-Arm’s length salaries and 33% for administration including rent and the Company’s
annual audit.
A portion of the Offering may be allocated to investors relying on the “accredited investor” or
other exemptions available to AFR under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions.
The private placement is open to all current shareholders and is being backstopped by
management and directors and as such they may be subscribing for more than 25% of the
offering. All shareholders wishing to participate should contact the Company as noted below.
All of the securities issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period
expiring four months and one day after the date of issuance of the securities.
The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.
It is anticipated that the first closing of the Offering will occur on or about September 30, 2024,
with a final closing no later than October 28, 2024. AFR will update shareholders when the
Offering has been completed and TSXV final approval has been received.

This news release contains “forward-looking information” (within the meaning of applicable

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such statements or information are identified
with words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “potential”, “estimate”,
“propose”, “project”, “outlook”, “foresee” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or
statements regarding an outlook.
Such statements include, among others, the Company’s proposed private payment. Such forward-
looking information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions
which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated
and which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other
things, management’s expectations regarding its ability to raise financing. Actual results could
differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, operational risks in the
completion of the Company’s future exploration work, technical, safety or regulatory issues,
social and market conditions at a project site or in the area which may cause a reduction or
suspension in operations and activities which may ultimately affect and delay the exploration
timeline. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in the Company’s securities
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company can provide
no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information and
