Pancontinental Resources has closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 37,500,000 units at a price of $0.08 per Unit.
Pancontinental Resources Corporation (TSXV:PUC) (“Pancon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 37,500,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.08 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (the “Financing”).
Pancon President and CEO, Layton Croft, stated: “We recently executed our Option Agreement to explore the former Brewer Gold Mine in South Carolina, USA. With the closing of this timely financing we now have funds to commence our Brewer exploration program. In light of business implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have agreed with the Brewer Receiver to extend the initial option term of the Brewer Option Agreement (as per the Company’s March 2, 2020 news release), from 18 months to 20 months. We have adjusted our business planning accordingly, and Pancon’s top priority is the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers and the community. Still, we firmly believe that the gold sector generally, and our Brewer gold project in particular, is and will continue to be a superior investment opportunity in light of the rapidly changing economic environment.”
Each Unit is comprised of one common share (“Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.12 until the earlier of: (i) the date that is five (5) years following the date of issuance; or (ii) in the event that the daily volume weighted average price (or closing bid price on days when there are no trades) of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at least $0.25 per Common Share for a minimum of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may provide written notice to the Purchaser requiring the Purchaser to exercise the Warrants within twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of such written notice. All securities issued under the Financing will be subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period. The gross proceeds from the Financing will be used by the Company for exploration and development of the Company’s mineral properties and for general corporate and working capital purposes. All dollar figures above are in Canadian dollars.
About Pancon
Pancon is a Canadian junior mining company focused on exploring the prolific and underexplored Carolina Slate Belt in South Carolina, USA. In January 2020, Pancon won the exclusive right to explore the former Brewer Gold Mine. Between 1987-1995, Brewer produced 178,000 ounces of oxide gold from open pits that extended to 50-metre depths, where copper and gold-rich sulphides were exposed but could not be processed by the oxide heap leach processing facility. Brewer is a high sulphidation system driven by a sub-volcanic intrusive and possibly containing a large copper-gold porphyry system at depth, as indicated by: widely known prospective geology, including diatreme breccias; associated high sulphidation alteration; gold and copper mineralization; and geophysics (Schmidt, R.G., 1978, The Potential for Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposits in the Eastern United States, U.S. Geological Survey). Pancon’s 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine, and both Jefferson and Brewer are located 12 km along trend northeast from the producing Haile Gold Mine, which produced 131,819 ounces of gold in 2018. In addition, Pancon has four nickel-copper-cobalt exploration projects in Northern Ontario, surrounding or near producing or former mines.
