Vancouver, BC – Ultra Resources Inc. (TSX-V:ULT, OTCQB: ULTXF and Frankfurt: QFB) (“Ultra Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$6.0 million from the sale of the following:

• Units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.15 per Unit ; and
• Flow-through units of the Company (the “FT Units”) at a price of C$0.165 per FT Unit

Red Cloud Securities Inc. is acting as a finder in connection with a portion of the Offering.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Unit Share”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”) and one half of one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.25 for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the Offering.

As part of the Offering, Jiangsu Zangqing New Energy Industry Fund (“Zangqing”) intends to make a strategic investment of approximately C$3.3 million in Units. Zangqing is a limited partnership new energy industry fund. A major limited partner in the fund is Zangge Holdings Co., Ltd.

The net proceeds from the sale of Units will be used to fund the exploration of the Company’s properties in Argentina, Ontario and Nevada and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for “Canadian Exploration Expenses” (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2021 to the purchasers of the FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares.  If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Shares for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.
