LONDON and AMSTERDAM, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blockmate Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: MATE) (FSE: 8MH1) is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of CAD$814,667 for general working capital. In connection with completion of the Offering, the Company has issued 16,293,337 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each “Unit” consists of one common share, and one common share purchase warrant exercisable to acquire a further common share at a price of $0.075 until November 17, 2025.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to restrictions on resale until March 18, 2023 in accordance with applicable securities laws. No finders’ fees or commissions were paid by the Company in connection with completion of the Offering.

The Company also announces that Justin Rosenberg has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Rosenberg takes over from Dom Carosa who will remain with the Company as Founder & Executive Director.

Mr Rosenberg, who was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Blockmate in April 2022, brings to Blockmate more than 20 years of experience in corporate finance, M&A and venture capital and in corporate advisory roles for publicly listed tech companies in Australia and Canada.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Dom and the team over the past few months and I’m excited to increase my involvement as the new CEO,” said Rosenberg.

“For a company with a market cap of only CAD$3m (USD$2.3m), Blockmate has an outstanding team of stakeholders and a great platform to build a significant company. We have a focused strategy to develop assets and secure partnerships to fund their growth at the asset level, giving Blockmate upside without the requirement to raise capital. For example, Blockmate’s self-serve FX platform, midpoint.com, provides prospective partners with licencing in the UK, Canada and Hong Kong. Thank you to the Board for the opportunity.”

Major shareholder and Executive Director Dom Carosa added “We are excited to appoint Justin as CEO and help build the Blockmate business which I believe will translate into increased shareholder value in time.”
