Gratomic Announces Cash & Warrant Position as It Closes in on Full Dilution

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2021 / Gratomic Inc. ("GRAT", "Gratomic" or "the Company") (TSXV:GRAT)(OTXQX:CBULF)(FSE:CB82) is pleased to announce its current cash position of $8,054,000 established mainly through the exercise of share purchase warrants. The Company has 3,596,400 warrants outstanding with a total exercise value of $3,596,400.

The Company issued a press release on March 3, 2021 announcing that it granted 8,850,000 options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company exercisable at $1.54 per share for five (5) years.

In a press release dated February 22, 2021 Gratomic announced that it had become debt free establishing a unique position for itself in the junior exploration and mining sector. This announcement was supplemented five weeks later by another press release dated March 29, 2021 revealing that GRAT had successfully entered the commissioning phase of its Aukam processing plant on schedule.

Removing the need for financings and private placements by funding the commissioning of its flagship project through capital raised in the exercising of warrants sets Gratomic apart from other junior miners. This solidifies shareholder confidence in the Company, its vision, and its leadership. Combined, these elements create a significant competitive advantage for the Company.

"Through our continued efforts and hard work, Gratomic is now ready to deploy available resources in the most prudent manner to propel the Aukam project to its full potential. I am extremely proud to play such a vital role in the Company's success," said Rodger Roden, CFO.

"I would like to thank Rodger and his finance team for their continued support and expertise in ensuring that Gratomic adheres to budgets. I would also like to thank all of our long-term shareholders for their continued support in funding the business through the exercise of warrants; this has helped us avoid dilutive financings as the Company's share price has appreciated," commented Arno Brand, CEO & President.
