(TSXV: BLM) (OTCQX: BLMWF) ("BluMetric" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Clarus Securities Inc. ("Clarus" or the "Agent") pursuant to which Clarus has agreed to act as lead agent and sole bookrunner in connection with a best-efforts private placement, under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (as defined herein), to issue up to 4,375,000 common shares of the Company (the "Offered Shares") at $0.80 per Offered Share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000 (the "Offering").

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the Offering is being made to purchasers resident in all provinces of Canada, except Quebec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The securities offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Agent shall receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") equal to 6% of the number of Offered Shares issued pursuant to the Offering other than with respect to sales to purchasers on the president's list, if any, for which the Agent will receive a cash fee of 1% and Broker Warrants equal to 1% of the number of Offered Shares issued to purchasers on the president's list. Each Broker Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (the "Broker Shares") at the Issue Price for 18 months following closing of the Offering. The Broker Shares shall be subject to a hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of issue.

There is an offering document (the "Offering Document") related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at: www.blumetric.ca. Prospective investors should read this Offering Document before making an investment decision.

In addition to the Offering, the Company intends to issue up to 625,000 common shares ("Concurrent Offered Shares") on a non-brokered basis for gross proceeds of $500,000 (the "Concurrent Offering") at a price of $0.80 per common share. The Concurrent Offering will be made available to accredited investors and other eligible investors in all provinces and territories of Canada and such other jurisdictions as the Company may decide in accordance with applicable laws. Concurrent Offered Shares shall be subject to a 4 month and one day hold period from the date of issue. No commissions or fees are payable in connection with the Concurrent Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering and Concurrent Offering for general corporate and working capital purposes to strengthen its balance sheet and to pay down the Company's operating line of credit held with its bank. "We are excited to see the market's positive feedback to our most recent acquisition of Gemini Water," stated Scott MacFabe, CEO at BluMetric, "We believe that having these funds readily available will allow us to seek opportunities to continue expanding our production capacity and position the Company to compete for larger water and wastewater projects where water shortages have increased demand for our service."

The closing of the Offering and the Concurrent Offering is anticipated to occur on or about December 13, 2024 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). Closing of the Offering is not conditional upon the closing of the Concurrent Offering.
