Integra Gold Corp. Closes $8.2 Million Bought Deal Offering
"We are pleased to have completed this financing at a significant premium to our current share price, and with the positive response from investors. With over $11 million in cash Integra is now well-positioned to advance exploration at the Lamaque Project in 2015," commented Company CEO, Stephen de Jong.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Company's Québec mineral concessions. The Company will agree to renounce such Canadian Exploration Expenses with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2014.
Total underwriters' commission of $490,457.04 was paid in conjunction with the Offering and an aggregate of 1,675,930 compensation options (the "Compensation Options") were granted to the underwriters. The Compensation Options entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.23 for 12 months following the closing of the Offering.
All common shares issued and issuable hereunder (including those issuable upon the exercise of Compensation Options), are subject to a hold period expiring May 1, 2015.
