Element 29 Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECU) (OTCQB: EMTRF) (BVL: ECU) (" Element 29 " or the " Company ") announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Financing") of up to 7,272,727 common shares (each a " Share ") of the Company at a price of $1.65 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $12,000,000, which is fully committed with participation from strategic investors.

The net proceeds from the Financing will be used to fund exploration activities across the Company's portfolio of copper projects in Peru, including the flagship Elida, as well as the Flor de Cobre and Paka projects.

The Company may compensate certain finders a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from subscriptions under the Financing arranged by such finders.

All securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory four-month-and-one-day hold period from the date of issuance.

Element 29 is an emerging junior resource company with a highly experienced management team and board focused on the discovery and advancement of copper projects in Peru, one of the lowest-cost, lowest-risk mining jurisdictions globally. The Company's flagship project is the Elida Porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag Deposit in west-central Peru which has an initial pit-constrained inferred Mineral Resource Estimate 1 of 321.7 million tonnes grading 0.32% Cu, 0.03% Mo and 2.61 g/t Ag at a 0.2% Cu cutoff grade. Alongside Elida, the Company has three (3) early stage, highly prospective porphyry Cu projects in Peru that include the Flor de Cobre porphyry Cu-Mo prospect situated in the Southern Peru Copper Belt, just 26 km from the Cerro Verde copper mine 2 (Freeport-Buenaventura) as well as the Paka and Pahuay porphyry Cu skarn prospects. All projects are well located for future mine development and will benefit from nearby infrastructure including roads, power infrastructure, ports, water, and a skilled workforce.
