(the "Company" or "Great Bear", TSX-V: GBR) announces conditional Exchange approval has been granted to close the non-brokered private placement originally announced on August 2, 2016. Due to significant demand, the Company has elected to exercise the option to increase the private placement by 20% for total gross proceeds of CDN$960,000.
"Over the past two months, we have raised an aggregate of $1,410,000 and Great Bear is now well positioned to advance our projects in the Golden Triangle, B.C., and the Red Lake district of Ontario," stated Chris Taylor, Great Bear's President and CEO.
The Company has issued 4,800,000 units at a price of $0.20, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price $0.27 per share for a period of twenty-four (24) months. The securities issued by Great Bear in connection with the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period as prescribed by applicable securities laws. The common share purchase warrants are subject to acceleration at the Company's discretion subsequent to expiration of the initial hold period, in the event the Company's common shares trade on a volume weighted average price (VWAP) basis of $0.40 or more for a period of ten consecutive trading days. Insiders participated for a portion of the placement. The Company paid finder's fees of $16,380.
Proceeds will be used to advance the Company's projects in the Golden Triangle area of British Columbia, and the Red Lake district of Ontario, as well as for general working capital purposes.
