All the securities issued in the Financing are subject to a four-month hold period. The Financing is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, "We are extremely pleased with our IP results to date on the Trove Property and look forward to continuing to work on the delineating drill targets we plan to drill this spring and/or summer. The Windfall Lake gold deposit (held by Osisko Mining) is one of the highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada, and our crew is anxious to begin exploration drilling at Trove which is situated on trend with Osisko's gold mineralization."
All proceeds raised in the Flow Through Component will be used for flow-through eligible exploration expenses on Durango's Trove Property located in Windfall Lake, Quebec. In connection with this tranche of the offering, the Company paid aggregate finders' fees to qualified finders of $10,240, representing eight percent of the gross proceeds in respect of certain subscriptions. The Company also issued 145,911, non-transferrable finders' warrants to qualified finders', with each finders' warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of fifteen cents until March 28, 2020.
The proceeds raised in the Non-Flow Through Component will be used for general working capital and to pay finder's fees associated with the Flow-Through Component. No finders' fees will be payable in connection with the Non-Flow Through Component.
Durango expects additional tranches of the Financing to close in the near future.
