Murchison Amends Terms of Proposed $3,000,000 Private Placement
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison” or the “Company”) (CSE: MUR) announces that, in the context of the current market, it is amending the pricing of its proposed non-brokered private placement of up to $3,000,000 (the “Private Placement”) announced on November 1, 2017.
The Company now proposes to issue up to 6,000,000 common share units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.20 per Unit (previously 4,800,000 Units at $0.25 per Unit) and up to 7,500,000 flow-through shares (the “FT Shares”) at a price of $0.24 per FT Share (previously 6,000,000 FT Shares at $0.30 per FT Share).
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half Common Share purchase warrant. Each full warrant (a “Warrant”) will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of closing (the “Closing Date”) at an exercise price of $0.24 per Warrant Share (previously at $0.30 per Warrant).
A finder’s fee may apply to a portion of the proceeds raised under the Private Placement in the amount of 7% cash and 7% finder warrants. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue. Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used by the Company for exploration on its Brabant-McKenzie zinc-copper-silver deposit in Saskatchewan and for working capital and for other general and administrative costs.
Certain directors and officers of the Company have expressed interest to participate to acquire securities under the Private Placement in the amount of $551,000. Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101”). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the securities of the Company are only listed on the CSE and that the fair market value of the Private Placement, insofar as it involves interested parties, does not exceed $2,500,000 or 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The Private Placement and the amended terms were approved by all independent directors of the Company.
