(“Prophecy” or the “Company”) (TSX:PCY, OTCQX:PRPCF, Frankfurt:1P2) announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”) involving the issuance of 8,000,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.025 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Common share in the capital of the Company (a “Share”) and one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional Share at a price of $0.04 per Share for a period of five years from the date of issuance.
The Warrants will be subject to the following acceleration conditions:
(i) in the event that the closing price of the Shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) exceeds $0.15 per Common Share; or
(ii) the closing spot price of silver as quoted by KITCO Metals Inc. exceeds USD$25.00 per ounce,
in either instance, for a period of over 30 consecutive calendar days, at Prophecy’s election, the exercise period may be reduced in which case, Warrant holders will only be entitled to exercise their Warrants for a period of 30 days from the date the Company either disseminates a press release or sends written notice to the Warrant holders advising them of the reduced and accelerated exercise period after which, the Warrants will expire.
The Shares will be subject to a minimum hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issue.
The Company paid in cash, finder’s fees totaling $14,000 and issued 560,000 finder’s Common share purchase warrants which are exercisable at a price of $0.04 for a period of two years from the closing of the Placement and are subject to the same acceleration conditions as the Warrants.
Proceeds of the Placement are expected to be used to develop Prophecy’s mineral projects and for general working capital purposes.
