Quetzal Copper Corp. (TSXV: Q) ("Quetzal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its Third Tranche (the "Third Tranche") of a previously announced non-brokered flow-through and non-flow-through private placement (the "Offering"). Under the tranche, the Company issued 3,249,967 Non-Flow-Through Units ("NFT Units") at a price of $0.15 per NFT Unit, for gross proceeds of $487,495.05.
In total, the Company raised gross proceeds of $2,437,498.92 and issued 11,470,611 flow-through units at $0.17 per unit (the "FT Units") and 3,249,967 NFT Units at $0.15 per NFT Unit.
Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share (the "FT Share") and one half of a warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each NFT Unit consists of one non-flow-through common share (the "NFT Share") and one-half of a warrant.
The Company issued 5,735,306 Warrants as part of the FT Unit issuance and 1,624,984 Warrants as part of the NFT Unit issuance. Each warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share for 24 months from the issuance date.
The Company paid cash finder's fees in the amount of $82,000 and issued an aggregate of 482,353 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") in connection with the Offering. The Finder's Warrants are non-transferable and are exercisable at $0.25 per share for 24 months from the issuance date.
The Company plans to use the funds from the FT Units to initiate its drill program at its Princeton project in British Columbia immediately. The Princeton Project has copper targets just 5 km from the active Copper Mountain Mine.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's Princeton and Dot projects in British Columbia, Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2024.
The securities underlying the FT Units and NFT Units are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the issuance date.
The Offering has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
