(TSXV:INFI, OTCQB:INUMF) ("Infinitum Copper" or the "Company") announces that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non‑brokered private placement financing. The private placement tranche was completed with a total of 1,198,129 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.13 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $155,757 (the "Offering").

To demonstrate continued support of the Company's business plan and growth strategy, the President & CEO of Infinitum Copper has invested over $50,000 in the current private placement. Steve Robertson, President & CEO of Infinitum stated: "I am happy to support this financing as I see tremendous value with the price of this financing when considering the great properties, world class team, tight share structure and exploration momentum leading into 2023. The headwinds of the overall market have affected the market capitalization of the Company, but I strongly believe the fundamentals in the copper market will eventually reveal what a strongly levered opportunity this is for our investors."
Proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund exploration at La Adelita project in Sonora State, Mexico and the Hot Breccia project in Arizona State, USA, and for general corporate purposes.
