Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. Closes Private Placements
VANCOUVER, Sept 30, 2020 - Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV:PLAN) ("PLAN" or "Progressive Planet"), an emerging leader in the commercialization of natural pozzolans to reduce the carbon footprint of cement production, is pleased to announce the closing of its two financings for aggregate gross proceeds of $304,750. There were 3,150,000 non-flow through units issued under the private placement at $0.065 per unit, for gross proceeds of $204,750. Each unit consisted of one share and one half warrant exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of twelve months from issuance.
There were 1,250,000 flow-through units issued under the private placement at $0.08 per unit for gross proceeds of $100,000. Each flow through unit consisted of one "flow through" common share and one half warrant exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of twelve months.
Use of proceeds for the flow-through units will be for continued exploration on the Company's 100% owned Heffley Creek Metals and Pozzolan Property in BC. PLAN recently announced it had discovered nickel in bedrock at the Heffley Creek Property and announced its intention to accelerate its exploration program for Heffley Creek for the remainder of 2020 (see the Company's news release dated August 17, 2020).
A cash finder's fee of $7,800 was paid and 120,000 finder's fees warrants were issued. Finder's fee warrants have an exercise period of 12 months, and an exercise price equal to $0.10 per share. All securities issued under these financings are subject to a statutory four month hold period.
Progressive Planet originally announced that it would offer up to 6.5 million units in total, but received funds from the exercise of outstanding warrants at 5 cents issued from a prior financing since announcing the financing. As such, and to minimize shareholder dilution, management decided to limit the units sold under the private placement.
