LIBERTY GOLD RECEIVES C$8.0 MILLION FROM WARRANT EXERCISES STRENGTHENING FUNDING POSITION FOR BLACK PINE
All holders of common share purchase warrants issued in connection with Liberty Gold Corp.'s May, 2024, non-brokered private placement (see press release dated May 21, 2024), have exercised their warrants prior to the May 17, 2026, expiry.
The company has received proceeds of approximately $8.0-million from the exercise of 17,857,681 warrants at an exercise price of 45 cents per warrant, resulting in the issuance of an equivalent number of common shares.
In addition, certain common share purchase warrants issued in connection with the company's April, 2025, bought deal financing (see press released dated April 22, 2025) have also been exercised early. Approximately 25 million warrants issued under that financing remain outstanding at an exercise price of 45 cents per warrant and expire on April 22, 2027.
These proceeds further strengthen Liberty Gold's balance sheet and enhance the company's financial flexibility as it advances the Black Pine oxide gold project in Idaho through key development milestones, including:
-
Completion of the feasibility study, targeted for Q4 2026;
- Continuing permitting activities under the FAST-41 framework, following initiation of the environmental impact statement process;
- Advancement of engineering and long-lead development activities, supporting a future construction decision.
Combined with anticipated staged payments from recent non-core asset sales, the company expects approximately $40-million (U.S.) in incoming treasury funds over the next 18 months. Based on current plans and assumptions, the company believes it is fully financed through a construction decision for Black Pine.
Jon Gilligan, president and chief executive officer of Liberty Gold, commented: "Warrant exercises by existing shareholders reflect continued confidence in Liberty Gold and support our disciplined advancement of Black Pine through feasibility and permitting. The proceeds strengthen our balance sheet as we advance key technical, engineering and permitting milestones, positioning the company to advance through important value inflection points over the coming quarters."
