Valterra Resource Corp. Extends Closing of Equity Financing
Vancouver, August 16, 2021 - Valterra Resource Corp. (TSXV: VQA) ("Valterra" or the "Company") reported today that the Company has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to extend the closing date by 30 days from the date of this news release. The Company has closed the first tranche of its previously reported private placement (06/07/21) by issuing 8,270,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $413,500. The Offering consists of up to 25,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for total gross proceeds of $1,250,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, with each full warrant exercisable for three years with the right to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Finders' fees and commissions may be paid by Valterra in relation to this issuance. The Company will make provision for an over-allotment option (Greenshoe) to allow a purchase of up to 10% additional units beyond the number of units in this offering. The securities issued upon closing of this offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from issuance.
A portion of net proceeds from the first tranche closing of the private placement was used to make an option payment of US$232,000 due on August 11, 2021 with respect to the Los Reyes Au-Cu project, Mexico. Proceeds of the financing will also be used to fund costs associated with an exploration program on the Los Reyes property. The Company previously completed surface mapping and sampling, followed by a limited IP geophysical program at the property. Surface samples of the oxidized copper mineralization are extremely encouraging, with 22 of 28 samples collected averaging 3.08% Cu. Permits are in place for a four to six core hole program totaling up to 2,000m. Drilling will test a 400-metre strike length of exposed Cu-Au skarn. Management believes that the project has significant near-term exploration potential for a high-grade Cu-Au mineral resource. Net proceeds will also be used for general working capital. The private placement is subject to regulatory approval.
