Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one transferrable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Share at a price of $0.09 cents per Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance, subject to an acceleration clause.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement Offering to fund additional asset development and operating expenses on its Worsley project, as well as for general working capital.
The company may pay finder's fees on a portion of the offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities legislation.
If the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares as quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than $0.12 cents at the close of any trading day, then the Company may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by issuing a press release announcing that the expiry date of the Warrants shall be deemed to be on the 30th day following the issuance of the Warrant acceleration press release. All Warrants that remain unexercised following the accelerated expiry date shall immediately expire and all rights of holders of such Warrants shall be terminated without any compensation to such holder.
The closing of the Private Placement Offering is targeted for October 29, 2024, and is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. There are no material facts or material changes regarding the company that have not been generally disclosed.
Members of the Company's management team will participate in the Private Placement Offering and upon closing, insider participation will be in excess of 25% of the private placement. The issuance of securities to insiders pursuant to the Private Placement Offering will be considered to be a "related party transaction" subject to the requirements of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that amount invested in the private placement by the insiders will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
