Metallis Arranges $1.25 Million Financing
VANCOUVER, B.C., Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metallis Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MTS) (the “Company” or “Metallis Resources”) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,250,000. The financing is expected to close shortly.
Private Placement Details
One (1) million units will be issued at $0.55 cents while one (1) million flow-through units will be issued at $0.70 cents. Each unit, non-flow-through and flow-through, will consist of one (1) common share of the Company and one-half of one (1/2) of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.80 cents per share for a period of two years, subject to the following acceleration provision (the “Acceleration Provision”): if the closing price for the common shares of the Company as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than $1.20 per common share for ten (10) consecutive days (the “Threshold Period”) occurring any time after the expiry of the 4 month hold period, then the Purchaser shall have until 4:00 pm (Vancouver, BC Time) of the 30th calendar day after the Company’s news release announcement of the occurrence of the Threshold Period to exercise the share purchase warrants (the “Accelerated Expiry Date”). The share purchase warrants shall expire on the earlier of the last day of the two (2) year exercise term or the Accelerated Expiry Date. The Company shall issue no other notice other than such news release.
Any finders’ fees and/or agents’ fees will be paid in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The private placement is subject to Exchange approval.
Proceeds from the flow-through private placement will be used for further exploration including drilling at the company’s 100%-owned Kirkham Property situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle’s Eskay Camp in northwest British Columbia. Proceeds from the non-flow through private placement will be used for general working capital purposes.
