PowerOne Capital Markets Limited acted as lead "finder" in connection with the private placement. A 7% cash finder's fee was paid together with the issuance of finder warrants equal to 7% of the Units issued in the private placement. Each finder warrant can be exercised to acquire one Unit as offered in the private placement at a price of $0.40 until October 16, 2023.
The proceeds from the private placement will be used by Fokus for exploration on certain of its mining exploration properties located in Quebec, with most of the proceeds to be allocated primarily to the Galloway gold project located 30 km west of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Two drill rigs should be in place next week to begin the 40,000 meters of the diamond drilling program before the end of October.
The Galloway project hosts several gold bearing occurrences of which three of those mineralized showings have been drilled over the years and the results clearly justify this new drilling program. Other mineralized showings in the same sector that have not yet been drill tested are included in the program (see Fokus' press release dated September 9, 2020 for more information on this significant drilling campaign on the Galloway gold project).
Mr. Jean Rainville, President and CEO commented: "I'm pleased with the strong interest in this financing which positioned the company in a solid way and I'm thrilled to kick off the 40,000 meters drilling program on this highly prospective Galloway project. We expect to deliver interesting results regularly before the end of the 2020 calendar year".
As a result of the closing of the private placement, there are 60,466,373 common shares of Fokus issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis. Under applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring on February 17, 2021.
