The net proceeds from the issue of the HD units will be used on exploring the company's properties, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about April 25, 2025, and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the TSX Venture Exchange. The payment of fees and issuance of securities to eligible finders on the sale of the FT shares and HD units will be payable in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V.
