"This significantly oversubscribed financing was very well supported by insiders, existing shareholders and new institutional shareholders," comments Ian Harris , Chief Executive Officer. "The upsized financing fully funds the 2021 drill programs at Big Red, Big Bulk and Esperanza."

 

The net proceeds will be used for drilling the Big Red, Big Bulk and Esperanza porphyry copper projects and general working capital purposes.  Eventus Capital Corp. is acting as a finder in connection with a portion of the Offering.

 

Libero will consolidate (the " Consolidation ") all of its outstanding common shares (" Common Share ") on the basis of five (5) pre-Consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share.

As at the Effective Date, Libero will have 29,988,684 Common Shares issued and outstanding.  Common Shares issued under the Offering will be post-Consolidation.
