If the Underwriter’s Option is exercised in full, the gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately C$11.5 million.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the exploration and development of the Company’s projects, and for general corporate purposes.
Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about November 19, 2021, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Units will be offered by way of private placement exemptions in all provinces of Canada and such other jurisdictions as may be agreed upon by the Company and Mackie.
